I am aware that it the title of a video game-- and I assume that it is a reference of some sort to open-source software or to fan creation of game expansion packs, which has been around since at least since Doom (which was just about the last game I played back in college before finally no longer being able to hold an interest in games.)
So, to clarify, you are proposing maybe having reading recommendations being made by people who have the free time to read through piles of bad manuscripts in exchange for credit to buy stuff at a web site? And this is a demographic who's judgment you think people will find compelling?
