The time allowed for writing is more or less independent of the time allowed for reading and voting. Most people, as you say, dash something off just shy of the deadline (though this time I spent my Sunday afternoon writing hour working on it, 3 weeks running, before pasting it all together the day before the deadline).

But for people like you (*cough*) who like to graze on the stories, read one every day or two for a week or two, maybe allowing a longer period for that process would work better.

Also, +1 tags :-)
