It's like they want good stories, but still want *plenty* of stories. That's really doomed to fail.
Yep. In fact they want plenty of stories, they want the authors to be able to upload the stories themselves with no 'archivist' per se to act as any quality control before the act and they still only want 'good stories'. As far as I can tell, it's an either or situation. I honestly don't think they can impose any quality criteria beyond 'do not upload stories that have not been spell checked or beta read' which might act as a lower quality denominator of sorts. But I think it is doomed to fail, although part of me - actually a lot of me - wishes that it could and would work.
