The reason that I have chosen to organize this remix is because of the restraint aspect. If it works for other people for other reasons, that's cool, but I'm going to evaluate all changes to the challenge by how well they do or don't support that mission.
By a similar token, when I do things for accessibility reasons, I don't slap a metaphorical wheelchair symbol on it, because it may be quite useful for neurotypical or currently able bodied people.
The reasons for having the Melee prompts go up after the Duello deadline submission last year is because getting to nominate a story for the Melee was a privilege reserved to those who had completed their Duello submission on time.
I'll think about committing to posting notifications of new stories this year. For the previous year, the point was moot. No one did post additional stories after Dead Dog.
