I thought about the time limit as well, but that might cause problems with story arcs. I mean, what if someone has a fab plot, great writing, etc, and we don't *want* to replace them and end the coolness? Should we do so anyway, for the sake of equality?
My fair side favors the latter, but my inner fangirl fears going from "awesome" to "everything is ruined". It would make the fic jump the shark, in a manner of speaking. However, I'm probably being paranoid. The niche nature of the community will hopefully select out the writers who are really passionate, like on ithurtsmybrain.
That's my personal opinion, as well. This is supposed to be a massive crossover orgy, not another BtVS/HP/SV apoca-fic with occasional guest stars serving as plot devices.
