Did we used to do this grading business? I don't remember it. I think I'll spend more time doing that than I will writing the story!
And must we use the graphic as our image? Could we use it as a footer instead, or do you have a footer for us to use?
Looking forward to participating
No. I take the freedom in suggesting an aid, if one is not sure about how to rate or vote. I have a different approach towards it and maybe it'll be liked; I also like experimenting. It's not a big deal, once you've got the grips of it, or so I think ;-) - you can do as you wish, it's a "can", not a "must".
No. Use whatever picture you like and which fits the finished story, from your point of view. The graphic will be, as it seems, not further used. I am talking right now to the originator.
I am looking forward, too :D
