This is what I'm saying - there's so much out there on a daily basis, irrespective of any bb or fest, that I fear additional fests - for whatever reason - may dilute an audience that is already stretched thin. The summary could be fantastic, but if its another 20k+ story in a string of them, all year long, then I might very well say "whew, I gotta look for something a little shorter."

And I totally agree, its a risk, yet I'm glad to be a part of fandom with, like I said, an embarrassment of riches :D
