Book Club discussion

[Amaterasu]

If I'm to be honest, I never quite got into the Book club when it was still alive. It was a mixture of that I lacked understanding of the site in general and the book club in specific, and that I lacked the motivation to get into it. So I'm to blame for being lazy, I'll admit.

I'll mention what I think may have been a Book Club problem, but if the way I understood it may not be the way it really was. Just feel free to ignore the next paragraph if I'm talking nonsense. From my understanding the Book Club was about submitting a number of threads every so often, which people could read then decide which one they liked best.
My problem with this system is that in order to give your votes on a thread to be voted "best", you had to read every thread to have an unbiased opinion. That would stack up fairly fast seeing how some people are very literate, and the Book Club offered a number of threads to vote for.

Anycase, here's a few further suggestions from moi!

As I have mentioned to DL in the chat, this might not really be what the original Book club was about, but something like a thread (or two threads) where people can post links to threads or posts that they found to be particularly good reading, be it because it was good writing or because something awesome happened there that "wrote Omniverse history". A thread where people request criticism on their writing would also be an option.

On the other hand the problem I see there is to keep people motivated to post there, if there are no "rewards" like OM or badges. Some might have the dedication to do so without needing that extra reward to push them on, but I'll just go out here and assume that that's a minor part of the Omniversians.
