However, we will be building out a way for you to send people directly to your page 99 once the rating period has ended (even if it doesn't make the Best 99s page!).
Again, we appreciate the feedback. We want to make the site awesome for writers and readers.

In a stroke you make the site have a point for people like myself, who do not have the time to approach the business of getting reciprocal reads from other page99 users as a full time job (nice change from sites like youwriteon or authonomy).
To someone in my boat, with a sequel to write, a house to run and a two year old to look after, that seems fairer! Page 99 in my book isn't the most interesting but at least it gets to stand or fall on the merits of my writing rather than the amount of spare time I have at my disposal. Delighted to see my book escape all that.
