Reciprocity

I remain absolutely fascinated by dragcave. It's similar to the prisoner's dilemma problem without the direct feedback. Also, without the part where there's a workable solution. People are insane.

I've been thinking about the Review Exchange, which has gotten active again. The primary problem with it is it's hard to keep things equal - currently, problems both with people not returning to review AND with people who start reviewing and then drop out before their own story is added, so at least it balances out, but it's still annoying.

There's also the issue that chaptered stories don't work well - people tend to just review the first chapter, which is a problem, but at the same time it doesn't seem fair to force people to read a really long story.

I'm considering a second setup that's more direct - a couple people sign up agreeing to review anyone who reviews particular stories of their own, one for each review. So if they want another review, they go back and review the next chapter. Would anyone be interested in trying that out?

Members only, yes (in part because I want to play, and reviewing everyone who reviews me would be...not good).
