It's not shifting the schedule, it would just be an extra step for artist match ups. Writers wouldn't be required to have a complete story draft. It would be a confirmation to artists that the writers on the anon summery post have been confirmed to have 15K ready.
As Gwyn said above the 15K is only recommended, not a requirement. I've talked to a few artists, who participated in the past, where their paired writer didn't meet the requested word count in time for match-ups and it wasn't an enjoyable experience.
Ahaha, I think the last thing an artist would like is less time to work on art. As a traditional artist, I can use all the time I can get. Especially since I like to make more than one piece, and it can get quite time consuming. So the schedule is good in terms of that, it would just be nice to have some confidence going in!
