Sly's dashboard

Well I got back from Christmas holidays and was told I had two challenges in this Poetry Challenges branch line.

So, I went there,and sure enough, in the author Guidance, my name was listed beside two stories, but now I had to go find them!

I searched through every single branch, from one branch to the next and then back again to go in a different branch direction before finding one of them, and I wrote my story.

Then, when it came time to find the other, I tried again, but couldn't find it.

So I learned that, if there are many branches throughout a story and you're trying to find the specific end of one of these branches, it's very difficult.

One branch will say that there are 74 branches that follow it, but each of those could be split up into different lines that branch out all over the place.

I have NO idea how to make this easier, but there's got to be a way.

Maybe you've already got something in mind.

Or maybe I even overlooked a feature that already exists.

I just figured I'd drop in and let you know.

Hey Nick, it's Sly.
I'm not sure if you'll take to this idea because part of me believes you have rating the way it is for a reason. Nevertheless, I was wondering if you'd consider something.
I've been rated about thirty times lately on stories I've written but no one's commented, so I have no idea (aside from the most likely 'personal preference') what drove the rater to rate that specific number.
I was wondering if you could add a text box to rating, so that people are (not forced, but) encouraged to write WHY they are rating a specific number.
It could have the option to remain anonymous, or the author can choose to claim the comment. I think that if you had a text box that said "Explain why you chose this rating" It would make people think a bit more before posting a rating and be a bit more constructive.
Thx.
