Vulgar - I feel you on not wanted to have restrictions, but I think we need to have some sort of guideline that makes it easier to compare pieces. It's not really fair to compare pieces with dramatically different line lengths, and we already have a topical league for longer format drops.
Maybe we could try an opt-out line limit? If both writers agree, the restriction can be dropped, but it would be enforced by default. Line limits are a restriction but I think they would promote more creativity and selective word choice to be effective in fewer lines. I think this would also help with vote quality / consistency because it is easier to give detailed feed on shorter pieces.
