I like the Idea Verno, I totally agree with the percieved lack of a level playing field for writers.

I like Goks restrictions idea. That every entry be restricted to a character/event/time that would allow for a more even judgement of entries and it would more accurately reflect a writers ability to work within some of the potential boundaries of comic writing.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a response. Something like this, if seriously considered might spend a couple months bouncing around desks at IDW before making it back to you with a response. Creative writing was something I enjoye back in High school (oh so long ago now) I might even put some words down myself if this goes ahead.
