It'd be something like The Last Man Standing, except instead of writing a novel, you'd just be writing, say, 1,000 words a day for as many days as the contest lasts. When you meet 1,000 words, someone (probably me but whoever wants to do it) gifts you 10 points.

What do you guys think about that?

I'd be up for that.

This sounds like fun, I'd participate too.

A few suggestions, though. 10 points may seem like a small amount, but if you get a bunch of people participating (which you will, especially if you let it be an ongoing thing rather than have specific duration!), and if you'd be awarding it for every thousand words - meaning every day - you'd run out of points soon. Perhaps, in order to make it easier for yourself and motivate others better, you should award people when they reach, say, 10,000 words, or something like that, and maybe even have some additional prizes for, for example, completing some mini-challenges or alike.

I'd be glad to help you out with realising this idea and running the thing, if you wish. I'll even offer my points when I earn myself some again =p

Oooh yeah, that does make a lot more sense.

Is anyone still interested in this?
