Madlib Suggestions
I think it would be helpful if there were a way for a madlib's author to skip the word entry screen and go straight to viewing the madlib. In place of a blank would be the prompt itself; for example, "I Verb this madlib; it's really Adjective!" As it is, the author has to go through and enter words in there like anyone else in order to test out whether the prompts and blanks are matching up correctly, or at least type something in each blank to check that the madlib is formatted as desired.

Another suggestion is an option for a person who completes a madlib to send the completed madlib to the author, perhaps even to have it saved like a review. People can copy and paste the results and send them in an email or review, but if they could just press a button instead, that would make it easier, not to mention that it would make it clear that a madlib author does not automatically see the results.
