We are definitely all the better for not critiquing stories here. A critique always deals with what is below standard, somehow, never what is great.

Is there a way we can say what we like in stories in general, and maybe use stories we know, on this site or elsewhere, as examples of what we think is good writing?

I kind of want to discuss whether we can do this before we decide whether to start doing it. After all, making a huge paen of praise is not good either
