In the Follow The Pen... page of ronswan.com, I have added a Rate Your Read response form at the end of each three story section.
Click the image of the story described to open in a separate window the story in Steller.
Each story only takes about a minute to read.
After reading the story(ies), click the Rate Your Read button at the end of the section, and rate what you have read. All fields are optional and the use of the forms can be as easy as only selecting your thoughts rating in the drop-down for the story(ies) you read.
When you submit your form, I receive an email with your responses. I will tally the responses and post a graph(s) showing the anonymous frequency of responses for each story and their collected ratings.
I will feature some of the more creative comments I receive (kept anonymous unless you tell me in the comments that I can include your name).
Also, if you have a question or would like a response, you can include your email for me to reply.
I have tried to make the reading and rating as easy and quick to use as possible as I want the process to be fun for you, the reader.
If this goes well, I will add and feature additional sections. When you return to the site, I will use the Announcement Bar at the top of the site to let you know what's new.

This is what Rate Your Read the buttons look like.

...and here is a sample of the response selections from the Rate Your Read form.
Response selections from the Rate Your Read form.
Follow the Pen... is a section that provides background information about a selection of stories I posted in Steller, as was as provides a link to each story. The collection is broken out into smaller sections of three to allow it to be read in chunks.
Upon completion of reading a chunk, click on the corresponding Rate Your Read form to provide your ratings and comments if desired. None of your information is required to do so, but optional fields are available if you wish to provide any.
