MUCH.<br /><br />I've been involved with several publishers over the years who've staged contests of varying types, and the lesson has always been, repeatedly hammered into me: the ones where it's a page or less of work go like gangbusters (magic item contest, adventure seed contest, cool NPC contest, new monster contest, new random table contest) and the ones that require multi-page work (adventures, articles, etc) tend to flop.<br /><br />WoAdWriMo was, comparatively speaking, no flop. It vastly exceeded my (admittedly, probably tinged with the vibe laid on my by my prior bosses) estimations of where it could go.S.
