Thanks Yas. That makes sense.
As the 'proposer' of the idea I will naturally throw my hat into the ring.

I think what Andy had in mind was a members' choice selection open to voting by all members, not a small panel of selected judges. Do I have that right, Andy?
Yes, exactly.
And to address Rebs's concerns: no one member would be able to hold sway over the voting because a single vote would not make a ripple in the overall voting on a particular story.
I take on board the comments made by our esteemed mod, but would add that the last time this was tried was, quote "a couple of years back". The site has moved on since then (I hope!). There is nothing to be lost by trying again and much to be gained.
In order for this site --and any similar site -- to survive it has to mature and adapt itself to its membership. My concern is that in the short time I have been a member here we have come to a near-standstill in what we are doing. The forums attract the same people to them, nobody uses the chat rooms and submissions of new works are slow, to say the least.
We, as a community, need to attract 'new blood': maybe this idea isn't the right one, who knows? Is anybody else making other suggestions, though...

I am little bo peep,
Someone stole my sheep.
Along I hop,
I will not stop
Until I catch that creep.
With my crook in hand.
I traversed the land.
Traveling far.
Guided by star.
An adventure unplanned.
I chased the man down.
To a far away town
I faced my foe,
Not losing a bow
I turned my flock around
This is a clever and neat use of the limerick format, Rebs. Well done you!

Would you ever donate a kidney to save another persons life?
Yes, I would. I'd also donate bone marrow if my blood type came up a workable match with someone suffering from leukemia.
Would you shave your hair off to raise money for a charity fund drive?
Absolutely yes! I would love to do it for a good cause.
Would you take advantage of someone if you knew that were very fond of you, but you were not fond of them?
