In which Eunice metarambles about contests

So, I was feeling well enough to skim more through LJ and caught the tail end of the Vid-o-Rama nonsense, to which the only thing I really have to say is, kiss my dyke ass. Ahem. But it did get me thinking in general about fandom contests and awards, and why I pretty much loathe them regardlesss. A lot. Which is a post I've had half written in my head for forever, and no time like the present.
