I've noticed that when I click on "receive new assignment" I'm getting fewer short stories. Up until now the ratio of shorts to novels was a lot higher.

Are there less shorts on the site now? Or have the improvements to the site included some "weighting" scheme with regard to the distribution of assignments?

For instance, I see that the last short I reviewed, "Tower of Silence" by png (which I heartily recommend btw) has 3 credits attached but no readers.

EDIT: Just noticed it has a reader now.

ADDITIONAL EDIT: "The Pendulum Swings" -- great name for a band!
