But that's true.

Seeing that somehow, Viz and whoever, were all in on that JAILED
thing a
while back for free fan subs, they'll be all over everyone for a
sponsored
competition that they haven't agreed to go with!

**Agreed.  Fanfics as it is are on shaky ground in legal aspects.  A
contest like this could be the straw that broke the camel's back
(though I doubt it, it IS possible....)
A better thing (and safer) would be if this contest were to hunt for
ORIGINAL stories that seemed the most "anime-esque".  But I don't run
the contest, and I'm not in the mood to hire a lawyer, so I guess I
won't be participating in it, either.
