It is a tricky one, Jonathan, and I don’t have all the answers, but the monthly competition is IMO intended to be an encouraging place where writers at all stages of learning the craft can enjoy a challenge, try things out and so on. Or at least I think that’s what it should be. I’m not sure it’s the right place for full on criticism especially as there’s nothing stopping anybody setting up a separate thread for just that purpose. That’s not to say that comments have to nothing but positive but I think they should be more about feeding back what you, as a reader got from the piece, which bits worked for you and which maybe didn’t, but let’s keep discussing it.
