GFF Literary Workshop: A Proposal

I'd be interested in participating, but I'm a little unclear on a few things.
Like how long do you expect submissions to be?
As much as I'd love to read other people's stuff and write my own, I don't have very much free time on my hands.

Also, will there be anything in place to prevent this from turning ugly? I'd hate to start seeing authors compete or try to one-up each other.

Granted, I never bothered with the WotW stuff, so this might not even happen. I'm just used to seeing a creative project go from starting out great to turning into a competition thanks to the photography classes I had in college. Man, where those classes ugly...

How ya doing, buddy?

That's what should be done, but I've seen art classes turn ugly because someone will just try to be better than someone else. It's like they'll pull all the stops and try to out-do someone. It's pretty annoying, really.
I'm thinking that in a writing context it'd be done somehow with thick symbolism or flashy adjectives or some such nonsense.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sounds good.
As far as formats go, are there any objections to using .pdf? I have a nifty program called PrimoPDF that lets me print directly to PDF, so I was going to just use that instead of submitting a Word document. I figure it'd be best since some people might not have Word or a similar program, yet everyone seems to have Adobe.

If not I can submit in Word, but I figure I might as well ask.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
