The 10 points maximum is a general rule across the game--there are 10 points available for each daily challenge. Basically, this is to stop, say, someone who posts TEN FICS or something absurd like that from being able to automatically win, and keep it vaguely level so that it's mainly about participation, not about some sort of hierarchy of production. (I hate/love how I turn into a philosophy professor ALL THE TIME apparently.)
I think it makes sense to act as if there will always be more available points, so that anyone who wants to play and has the time can get more. I mean, we can keep this going until it hits midnight west coast time (I don't think we have any alaskans or hawaiians? or folks further west) or a little longer, just to make sure that everybody has time to get it on.
But if people prefer doing something else--offering bonus points or something like that--I'm cool with that, if it seems to be collectively preferred.
