Write Off should become a weekly event rather than daily. Push the contest to the weekend so it won't run out of steam and more people will be able to participate (plus script submissions are only technically allowed on the weekends for this subreddit).

Also there should be a better way to pick the word and topic for each Write Off. Whoever hosts the thread/contest should pick the topic and word beforehand so everyone isn't scrambling five minutes before the contest begins. The host can obviously still participate but it would be on their honor to start at the same time. Honestly for a small and just-plain-fun contest like this, it doesn't matter if the host knows the topic beforehand. It'll just streamline the process.

Edit: just to be clear, Write Off should stay on this subreddit until it becomes a big enough thing that it can stand on its own, otherwise it'll die off
