I wondered what happened to the scoring. Personally I liked the old system - I could look at the score and decide if I wanted to read it. With the new system that's not available. Also this new scoring makes all stories good because there isn't a way to score a bad rating. Just remember - in real life not everyone gets a trophy - it has to be earned - just like the old scoring system - if you wrote a stinker it didn't get a good score.
