Should every story have a small excerpt? I'm not sure. I added them, but I don't think it's necessary.
When you put your reasons in your brief summary is it also okay to put the brief summary the author gives? I think so, though I think they'd prefer if you would give your summary, since it is your recommendation and your opinion.
I see you did #1 and #3. Obviously the stories don't have to go in order... so do you just add your reccer's choice after each 10? Yup, that's my understanding. You could also save up your "reccer's choice" options and just go out in a BLAZE OF GLORY after 40 prompted recs.
AND LAST ONE... (Sorry I'm so curious) No no, ask away! That's why I'm the trouble-shootin' girl.
On your table... when we place the link to the reccomendation... do we a href it to the word in the table, or do we put the title of the fic in the box? Ah, here lies your personal preference. I used a href to link the prompt words ("First Time" and "Angst") to my actual fic rec, and I didn't include the title of the story in my table. I did this because I'm really nutty and I don't want the titles to mess up the widths and heights of the cells. (I also added a table width="750" to the code for the table so that all the widths would be the same, but shhhhh, don't tell the admin). I'm sure it would be just as good to also include the title of the fic in each cell, if you'd prefer.
Also, I changed the colors of the cells that are "filled in" with recs, again because I'm nutty and like to organize stuff visually. It's just extra work because I think the table is really shiny, but definitely not required.
