It's the start of March, which can only mean one thing: the start of preparation for April. For some regions this might mean playing around with characters, plots, settings, and other things of such a nature. Sure, these are all very important things to have, but we are Melbourne, and these things come naturally to us. To remind a Melbourne writer that they need to think of these things is like reminding a cow that they need to do a lot of digesting. It's just pointless, really, because we're already too good at it.
Which brings me to the real point of preparation: the smackdown. Who out there, in the big wide land of Frenzy, needs to be on the receiving end of said smackdown? Is there an individual who has been getting a little bit smug about their effort last year? Has a friend moved to a new city, and decided that now is a good time to being their writing challenge career, now that the count wont go towards Melbourne's tally? We can take that region. You know we can.
So, Melbourne, let the nominations begin.
