I inclined to say that the site does need a different approach than the showcase. The question is: what approach could it take? From what it looks like, there isn't an approach the site could necessarily take. If taking the showcase and slapping it on to the front page doesn't work, then something is seriously flawed with it. To be honest, I would avoid the showcase entirely if I were a new writer looking for attention. I'd probably concentrate more on writing for the contests that pop up here and there - as it seems, the best way to get attention on the site is to participate in site activities. Perhaps the approach would be to encourage people to participate in site activities and other things that tend to grab attention.

The quality standards are pretty... mediocre at best. When I say that, I mean that they're not focusing solely on good stories; they let the slightly average in as well. That's not a bad thing per say, but they could probably use their own improvements.

If we end up in a titanic kaiju battle, I call dibs on Godzilla.
