The guy behind it seems to have good intentions but the lack of concrete basis behind the site worries me...will he use the old slashcode...or a wiki...or goodness knows what. Will he restrict types of stories and if so on exactly what basis and in doing so have an overlord status over any community...and if there is an elite set who join in such decisions who selects them and how? Without a great deal more clarity about such utterly vital details I'm not committing myself to it just yet.
