Shorts should not be used to canonise a player character or player faction,
Shorts should not be used to canonise roleplay by players, (1)
The Story team may, at their own discretion, waive the above rule. (2)
Once submitted and accepted, the short comes under Story control, (3)
Story may edit the short thereafter.
So what you're saying is. The story team can canonize (not with an "s" btw) their own players and their own factions and pick their favorites among the crowd. How bout you just remove that entirely and force people to use the RCR if they want their own self imported messes canonized. Right, there you go.
Story may edit these slightly, there for take credit for them. Very nice.
Interesting idea, I like it. The fact that first part is an utter mess is the main issue.
