It's good in theory but completely falls apart when you put it into practice. Far too many moving pieces and at the end of the day you are relying that *no one* will mention their entry *ever*... and that people's subjective tastes don't come into play, and of course that someone who knew you were playing wouldn't be able to tell an [livejournal.com profile] oberonia entry from someone else's. (not to mention that you could never mention anyone in your life, anything you were interested in, or anything else that might be a give away to who you are.)

*shrugs* I've just spent way too much time on that end of things - on panels that used "anonymous" voting - to ever put on those glasses as to the purity of the process.

Which of course doesn't even take into the account that you wouldn't be able to interact with anyone during the competition - and isn't that part of the fun?
