It's the feeling of futility shared by many if not most writers: wanting to effect the grand scheme of things, but not sure if we can. For your part, it may be enough that you give contributors here a little encouragement whenever they see the "you've been showcased!" message on their talk pages.

That said, if you want to switch things up a bit, have you considered featuring multiple authors in one showcase? Say, try doing three in one post? Just a thought.
