User blog:ArchieScotts/Let's All Start Reading!

Well like quite a number of you have noticed, despite being a wiki full of stories most of us write but don't really read.

We let new stories get a pass and ignore them(me included) and a lot of potential talent have probably been ignored. In my opinion this should probably change.

The only way currently to get someone to read your story is to post it on the chat. At times the link to the story is completely ignored and lost amongst the comments on it.

I know a lot of us are busy now, but can we make a little time to read them? On the train or the bus when we are doing nothing, can't we just spend about 5 mins to read these stories?

There are many aspiring writers here, and a lot of these writer are have an amazing ability to write. But sometimes because they receive no feedback or support for their stories, they just give up and their talent is put to waste.

Another problem I want to bring up, awards.

Is it really fair to nominate stuff and claim this story to be the best when we have not read most of them? I don't think it's fair that we nominate stuff, when we only nominate the stuff we have read not the stuff on the wiki.

It also applies to winners, most of us vote for the ones we have read not the best ones(Me included).

So come one guys, can we change this?

Let's make this wiki better.
