I like it but I have some concerns for you. How will you monetize? Freemium? How will you scale? It looks like you two are personally reading essays to approve/disapprove them but how will you scale if you're receiving 100 essays a day? To reach real scalability, I think you will need to crowd source the approval process with a karma system.

As I've commented above, I truly believe that open source projects and voluntary work can change so much. I want to create this because writing and education is my passion, not because I want to make a profit. I don't particularly like sites such as DeviantArt, which bombards you with ads and limited features with a free account. And the premium account is out of my poor college student's price range. Perhaps at some point we will need to do this, but at the moment, we're hoping for some more people to submit essays. We aren't sure how to scale yet, though we've come up with quite a few solutions, such as adding more people to our "staff". We want the absolute best, and sometimes community opinion is not always top notch.
