From my perspective on of the great features of HPMOR is that the format of a novel encourages people who start reading to continue in a way that the sequences don’t. A person who reads the full HPMOR has then spent a lot of time associating with our culture and is more likely to spend more time in our sphere than a person who just read 3 articles of the sequences.
I myself took two years between hearing of HPMOR and actually reading it. At the beginning I thought that the idea of it was silly and it took me a while to give it a trial and be convinced of it’s value. Having HPMOR be recommended by being featured has the chance of getting more regulars who otherwise wouldn’t read it to read it.
I agree that it might be improvement to feature rationalist fiction on the startpage and then start with a pitch for HPMOR.
