Re: Finding Stories to Read

I agree. Especially on the Review Request page, I'd like to see word count and content rating displayed, and be able to filter by document or genre type. I've reviewed the guideliness posted by NW but I must be thick headed, I couldn't get it to work to filter down the review request page.

Further detail: Sometimes I have only 30 minutes, about enough time to provide general feedback on a poem, other times I have a bit more time and can do a short story. Word count and type of document would help a lot with helping me decide what to look at and review.

I also agree with Evertrap's point about document settings - for a long time I set everything to "other" document type (the default) and never noticed I should have set it to something specific (i.e., poetry). Maybe there is a way for moderators to review the pool of 'other' type documents and suggest to newbies what type of document setting might be appropriate for the piece?

With that said, I realize it's not possible to be all things to all people, and sometimes you just can't smash everything in to one site.

Please keep up the good work, I am enjoying the site.
