The 2026 [lit] 750 Word Project Support Thread

[Bn2f]

I know this is a 'support thread' and I've gone on record before as claiming that the 750 word challenge can be a good writer's exercise, but I'd like to tap the brakes on this one a moment and urge some reflection.

May I suggest to you and others that maybe, just maybe, it's time for the now 8 year old 750 Word Challenge to mature into a judged contest?
No? What is even the criteria for a 'good to great' 750? There are enough contests as is?
Well then, IMHO your plea for better quality and constrained judgment on hitting submit is sadly destined to fall on deaf ears.
