The Spotlight Party 2005!

Congrats Jen, but if I were you, I would check my signature

Oo, this was a nice idea..
<idea>
How about a Mr/Ms Lurker? It might be hard to find someone to nominate, obviously, but maybe some of you have noticed that someone with one post, but you see them all the time on the active users list, reading everything but never says a word...-lights flashlight from beneath and emits a spooky laugh-
Might get mentioned lurker to step forward and join the ranks of the posters, too.

I'm all for it, but it should be a reviewer that just doesn't post "good job". We'd have a million of those. Either someone who has excellent insight into the fic, has great posits or even someone who has great ideas for moving the fic forward, especially when the author posts a plea for help. I know it sounds like a beta, but you know what I mean. Take a look at some of your old posts Renee. "Good job" doesn't help much if you know what I mean. That to me reads like posting/reviewing for the sake of posting/reviewing. Not to belittle those that post that but after reading 100 "good jobs" it gets to the point where it doesn't mean anything any more. Hope I made sense.

In reference to this and varda's initial idea...

What about Mr/Ms Feedbacker? We vote on these things, right? So this could be for the person who offers the best FB. Authors could vote for those who are loyal to their stories, offer detailed and insightful FB and other readers could vote for those whose FB they also find insightful or amusing. This way it would be a matter of quality over quantity.

Hope this helps. I wasn't around for last year's event, so I don't really know the process but this category was one that came to mind almost immediately.
