Anyway, I don't want to see a running list of total points per stories. Nor
a list of how many reviews each story has. Just a list of stories with 2 or
fewer reviews if we can manage something like that. If not, just a list of
stories with no reviews. Some intrepid reviewers out there may pick them up
and see if they can review them. Note, no one needs to write any reviews if
they can't think of something good to say about a story.
Yes, this is what I was thinking as well. I don't want to see a running list
of total points; that would drive me up the wall! But if I've reviewed the
stories that interest me most, and I'm looking for more to read, I'd be more
inclined to read those with no reviews, just in the interest of including them, or
not having the authors feel left out, or something of the sort.

I looked at the 2004 site recently and ran across an author who had no
reviews at all, even though that author had more than one story nominated. How sad!

And no, I cannot bring myself to write a review if I can't think of something
good to say! (Echoes of my mom: "If you can't think of anything good to say,
don't say anything at all...")

Thanks,
Lin

I'd actually prefer just a list of the stories with no reviews at all,
because I'm exactly the sort of person who would read those first...
