What ever happened to The Author Of The Month? It's never updated. I've visited for over a year now, I'm certain, and in all that time, I've only ever seen it updated once, from Lord Archive to it's current authors.
Let's summarise the advantages of An Author Of The Month;
New visitors will be able to read some of the better titles and have a greater incentive to stay, or to write.
Authors feel that their work is recognised,
Writers will have something to work toward, meaning more and better quality stories.
Although I can understand that reading a wide enough variaty of authors is very time consuming, and that Wolfe probanbly wouldn't have the time. Maybe it could be a deligated task, or a turn based reveiw? Members sign up on the board for a turn at picking an author to put in the slot.
I think it would an interesting project.
