It looks like story ratings and reviews have won! I'll add them both, that's why I allowed two options on the poll. Any ideas as to how this shall be done? xD

(Hope you don't mind me popping in ) I suppose it would depend on how you wish to proceed with this. For the ratings, do you plan on giving your own personal rating, or a collaborative rating based on a poll? And I would suggest adding the rating of a story to it's info in the first post. As for reviews, it may be a more complicated matter. It again comes down to whether you'd like to compose these yourself, or have someone(s) do it for you. And also, would it be a short snippet or a longer more thoughtful analysis of the story? Personally I believe posting up story reviews on the first page(or placing them in a separate topic used for the purpose of archiving) would be the best way to deal with such a matter.

I won't go further in depth here for fear of boring you all, but Viszla if you'd like to have a more in depth PM about the subject I would gladly comply Well there's my two cents on the situation. I do hope I've helped in some small way (I also hope that I haven't just told you things you've already heard )

[videlicet]

I would like a more in-depth PM, if you have the time. And I really appreciate the input!
I'd personally prefer the longer reviews myself, but I don't know if other people would be up to the reading. xD There's also the issue of space, but that could easily be solved by the creation of a seperate thread.
And I think that it'd be nice to give everyone a chance to rate & review. It seems fairer, and I think it would give a more three-dimensional view of the story being rated and reviewed.
Sorry if I'm rambling... my brains are rather scattered after my encounter with a brick wall. xD

Got another one for you Viszla

Story's Title: тιgнтяσρɛ
Link to Story: тιgнтяσρɛ
Genre: Let's put this one under Drama
Description: Prologue: I believe it has been said, or rather written, by a man of the name Robert M. Pirsig, that "Modern man has his ghosts and spirits too... Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of these ghosts from the past. Ghosts and more ghosts. Ghosts trying to find their place among the living." But if it was indeed the case that all intangible ideas are merely ghosts, then what in this world walks amongst the living? And if our minds are simply conjurers and creators of ethereal spirits, then how can we begin to differentiate from that which is true, and that which is false? Now who wants to hear a ghost story?
Would You Like Your Story to be Rated & Reviewed?: Most definitely
Other: There will be parts of this story that will not adhere to the PG-13 rule. When these passages so happen to turn up, you will find a handy link which will redirect you to my blog where the full chapter can be read uncensored. (Please note that most of the times these passages will be removed due to violence, not romance. Although on occasion if I believe the romance to be to much for CS I will redirect to my blog.) If you are not above the age of thirteen then please do not read these passages. There is a reason they are not being posted on CS. In fact, if you're under thirteen, just don't even begin reading. This story will get a bit dense sometimes and go into some deep analysis of the mind of the main character and question why it thinks the way it does. But if you are above the age of thirteen and feel you can read the story without any trouble feel free to click the link.
