#38812, "RE: Why are we rewarding #### roles this month?"


          

It's blowback against the trend of people writing novels as their roles. A role shouldn't need to be "literary" (or long) in order to be rewarded. It should explain a character's background and motivations. A character's background and motivations need not stem from a long, convoluted plot involving intrigue and lots of drama that takes eight chapters to write.
