Jinn: I agree with not allowing a rating without a comment. I also think that allowing anonymous voting is a good idea. Perhaps require an e-mail address instead? Or maybe even have the e-mail address as an optional field?

Curtis: I'm new here, but remember checking out the submission page while considering submitting some of my own fiction. I don't know that it will answer your questions but it's here:

Though Jinn and others here are most likely MUCH more knowledgeable about such things than I. *shy smile* Perhaps there are other guidelines or a list of them elsewhere?
