 * Hello, I tried to find a way by myself but can’t figure it out.
 * Could you help me ?
 * I really love your plugin but I’d love to make it even better by allowing multiple
   authors.
 * I mean, sometimes I post a critic and give it 3 stars
    then another critic of
   my website sees the move but disagree with mine so he would like to give it one
   star only.
 * What I would love is to have something like this
 * Author name 1; XXX
    Author name 2: X
 * The thing is it could be cool to add like 4 or 5 author and the top on the cake
   would be to add a bonus line calculating the perfect score according to all authors
   Stars and have a “resumé” line on top of them all looking like this
 * XXX
 * Author 1: XX
    Author 2: XXX Author 3: X Author 4 XXXX Author 5: /
 * the / Could be used if author 5 think the movie sucks and deserves no stars at
   all.
 * Also it would need to appear only if an author voted because they don’t usually
   critics everything so if we were only 2 to have seen the movie it would just 
   be like this
 * XXX
 * Author 1: XX
    Author 2: XXX
 * I really really hope you can help me because your plugin is the one I use the
   most and the one I need the most and I’d love for it to be perfect !!!
 * Thanks a lot

 * I don’t see that feature as being useful to many people, so it’s not something
   that I have any plans to add. However, if it is something that many users request,
   I’ll consider it. I’m not going to bloat the plugin with features that only a
   few people will use.

 * I understand that but maybe you could help me or explain me if there is a way
   I could do it myself ? Maybe I could try and if it works, that would be a feature
   added to your good work anyway.

 * You would need to modify the plugins’s code to include the author ID as part 
   of the rating custom field. Then you would add another meta box which would allow
   you to set the second author’s rating. On the frontend you’d need to loop over
   all of the rating custom fields and output the rating for each one, along with
   the respective author’s name.

 * wow.. Seems complicated since I never did that.
 * The thing is I really need this and to be honest I am searching one plugin that’s
   doing it but since I really like your work, it would piss me off to remove yours.
   It’s so simple and easy to use
