"Is there any reason why stories once submitted but did not previously win cannot reenter? To have a fresh story to submit every year - where there are only ten stories that win now (per completed/ongoing category) and all ten of those stories could technically be all be one genre like Romance, thereby making your odds of winning a Watty significantly lower than in previous years - seems like a difficult task, especially for writers with various disabilities that would hinder speedier writing paces, or writers that juggle their writing time with rearing children or working full time to support themselves and others." this should be a big red flag, to have a brand new story submitted every single year. if you have a lot of stories, what are the odds you wrote them during the eligibility window? it seems like we're being groomed for who can pump out financially viable stories quickly, and that just does not sit well with me, because it doesn't sound like they actually care about genuine, passionate, or diverse products.

@EllisVanWyk Oh, I see. Yeah, I'd definitely prefer to have entries separated by different genres. I hope they don't keep this format - that sucks.
