May I suggest to the forum moderators that a permanent sticky be set on the Editor's Forum where writers can meet to share "second pair of eyes" review of each other's work? Most of what needs to be caught for correction or rethink in a Literotica author's work can be handled by another Literotica author--and there seem to be a lot of Literotica authors looking for review help--and many too being rejected or held up by volunteer editors enjoying the title but not stepping up to the responsibility of the work.
The volunteer editor program here is hopelessly broken; as we have just seen, there are those here who wish to protect bogus and uncommunicative "editors" at the expense of writers; and, truth be known, few claiming to be editors here have any more experience in editing or competent story review than those seeking an editor here.
For the purposes of Literotica, just another fresh pair of eyes on a story manuscript is more than good enough for posting at Literotica. A permanent sticky would help those seeking help and willing to trade reviews a place to hook up--and they could get their story reviewed with a minimum of fuss and get on to writing the next one.
They would just need to list the genre and wordage of their story, including whether it's actually finished or not, and note any genre they are willing/unwilling to review in exchange.
