people piss me off...

Okay, so I'm pretty active on the Adult Swim message boards for InuYasha (because we're awaiting the Final Act's dub release).  For my non-american friends, we have a television channel on cable and satellite called Cartoon Network, and from 9pm - 6am, they air programming intended for adults and call the block Adult Swim.  They have shows like Family Guy and American Dad, some original programs, and on Saturdays they air anime, namely Bleach, FlCl, FMA:B, Cowboy Bebop, Big O, InuYasha, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few (and some of the other series they used to air were awesome too like Samurai Champloo and Trigun and NGE...)  I do banners for the FMA and IY boards and design icons sometimes... 

Anyway, so the InuYasha boards decided to do a fan fic contest but in order to be able to judge them fairly we all had to pick alt names.  I won't say what my name is in case I have friends who are also doing the contest (or judging!)  In any case, they can't get their shit straight on the rules.  First it's 10k words with no theme, now they say they're revising the rules... I don't know wtf...

HERE'S the link to the thread. 

Am I stressed about nothing?  Should I even do it?  I'm at a loss.

I'm a little bit confused too as to how they're organizing the rules. I had participated and judged fic contests in other forums and I don't mind if the rules had to be revised a bit as long as the person organizing it announces it. I'm very lost though over "Personality". Is that character development? As for whether you should do it or not, it's your decision in the end. If you feel this contest isn't organized that well, probably it's best if you don't participate.

Changing the rules after the fact, especially when dealing with a fic that long is just bad, bad manners. Boo. Hopefully the revisions won't be such that it will hinder what anyone has already written at this point- although what really sucks is if someone thinks of something BETTER if the 'new rules' allows for it. Again, booo.
