I like the writer self-promotion idea. But I think it will be difficult to pull off without encouraging spamming. I have two ideas.

a) Why don't we make a new forum topic (like 'Writer's Workshop') but for promoting stories. I have seen a couple of threads on the WW that simply linked to their story on the wiki and that somehow got their stories more exposure. Without their threads I wouldn't have read their stories. The stories weren't actually that good and got deleted, but they did get (some) exposure in the first place.

Of course, that would only be a first step, it won't actually change much. But it surely is a step towards the right direction.

b) This one is more daring and difficult than my first idea. It is basically a section about the best pastas on 'New Pages'. People who read stories in the 'New Pages' can add a story they liked on that section. Then others will read the story and if it is bad they can remove it.
