gail:
there are gems that have become lost. One thought I had was if there was a 'Librarians Choices' section. I know everyone has different tastes, but I have seen some writing here by non-prolific writers that blow my socks off...and it would be great if these gems could be surfaced, attract more attention, and perhaps encourage the writer to deliver more.
Guy:
it would also make even more work for our already overworked, over sugared, over inebriated, oversexed, under spanked and hopefully appreciated librarians.
Well, gail, it doesn't HAVE to be one of our overworked (and over-whatever) librarians, it could be ANYONE. You, for example. And the mighty Februs has already provided the tool you would need in this forum. If you know of overlooked gems, you can start a thread on the storyboard, and give reviews/plugs for stories that you liked, going beyond what's 'hot' at the moment. Anyone can do it. There was a recent ''shameless plug" thread where an author could plug his or her own story(ies) [which I made use of, in case no one noticed], but there's absolutely no reason a a reader couldn't do the same thing.
hmmm... a thread called "Gail's Choices" - I can see it already.
(and if you don't have a ready list of stories to plug, I just MIGHT be able to come up with some for you)
