That means you have to write more than an essay (5 paragraphs) to be in the top running. And you have to write really good too. Besides everyone knows those giveaways really aren't free.
There are a good few low activity subforums already. I don't see people boycotting their existence. Having one dedicated to writing for pets makes perfect sense to me. At the very least it should be included in either Art Competitions or Writing Discissions. There are wayyyy to many giveaways that expect you to do way too much for what should be a free giveaway.
Exactly, it's a giveaway, not a competition. You just say why you want it, it's not actual writing, it's just seeing who can come up with the best sob-story. If its a fanfic/backstory or any real writing it can go into art comps as it is a type of art, just like how writing shops fit into the art shops forum.
