The tools for improving the quality of the new work are available for the reader. The review system should not simply be used to congratulate a good story, it should be used to provide *constructive* critism for "bad" ones too. New authors have no idea how their work will be recieved and most would no doubt be open to suggestions on improvements and areas to work on. It's very difficult to gauge your own work objectivley, if the readers can give accurate feedback on every story they read (or don't!) then new authors will learn to improve and the quality of their stories will as well.
