Well said Humboldt. As someone who came here a few years ago and learned a ton from the people on this site, this place has a special place in my heart as well. As for showing favoritism, I haven't seen any. Most of the writers that get promoted here, at least the one's I've seen, aren't in any admin position. Sure, once in a while one of the admins will write something that is really good and should be promoted. Furthermore, most of the promoting is done by people who aren't admins. I think it was Christian, before he was an admin, who wrote a blog about the best new stories. I could be wrong, but I don't remember any admins being in those blogs, not that it would matter, because, as mentioned before, he wasn't anything other than a user at that time. (Christian, what happened to those, I really like them.)

Most of the time the powers that be act just like everyone else in the writing. Empry has a tendency to ask for help, using the WW, if he gets stuck on something, or if he thinks the story would pass the QS. If there was favoritism why would he waist his time doing this.

Anyway, this place had helped me a lot and it's a great place for new writers to get started. Thanks to everyone here for the help, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute here again shortly.
