That is a great idea! I think you should do it!
Sure I'd be willing to do it, but I'll wait first to see if enough people think it worthwhile.
It could be very worthwhile, but I doubt that anonymity is possible for longterm frequent posters. Writing styles are too distinctive.
If it would be of value, I'm willing to contribute my time to rewriting submissions (i.e. writing new, parallel texts with the same content but completely new phrasing). I could try to make a point of writing in a style unlike the original, or in the same style for all stories, etc.
English is not my native tongue. I would preserve the intent and content of the submissions, but I can't promise the quality of the writing itself won't suffer. OTOH, this might further obscure the true author
Of course, the rewritten versions would have to be approved or further edited by the original submitters, and I would not know myself who submitted each response.
Would this help?
Doesn't this same problem apply to Narratives by Women? Also it is one that wouldn't apply to a different set, feedback by new users and lurkers which might also be valuable.
Yes, it would apply to Narratives by Women, too-- I just answered when the idea occurred to me.
I don't think it's a great idea. I don't think it was supposed to be.
Ok noted.
I wondered what kind of anon feedback we would get to the site from the regular users in general since this is something we haven't ever done before. Many individuals here have requested anon feedback for themselves and apparently found it worthwhile. Also I wondered what kind of selection we'd be seeing, since obviously there will be systematic differences between those who send annon narratives and those who don't.
I'm not sure what you mean by this.
I think, the users and the groups of users may be fun. Even too much fun for humans like us and those topics would consume disproportional amount of the LW's time-space.
It's just a temptation which is better to avoid, I think.
