To me, contest prizes make no difference. My story would hardly be picked for a contest prize anyhow, but I usually am getting a Curie prize. At the same time, if I would write exactly the same story on my own, Curie won't look at it without it being a contest entry. It just won't look at my account period.

Secondly, I like this contest simply because it gives me the channel for further development. One might say, why not use your own beginning? It's because I would never put myself into a situation that other people would force me to get into. So it is fun and difficult at the same time to get out of there.

The contest could be organized every two weeks, or at least once a month.
