Hey, just a thought. A lot of things do get brought up about people's stories and the motivation behind certain events, actions etc in the discussion of our liking/not liking them. Could there be a point in time [say after a week of discussion or something] that the author could post a seperate post addressing some of those things? ie clarifying their thought behind what happened in this section or what they were attempting to achieve with the story.

I don't know about anyone else, but that would be something that I would be interested in seeing because sometimes what was attempted and what was achieved can be two totally different things and it's kind of fun to nut out what happened along the way to get there. Plus, it gives a different perspective on the stories themselves that can make you see something you may not have seen before?
