You'll notice that none of the above *mentions the quality of the fanfic

if it's based on My Blue Earth, no one may read it.  Same thing on a
Ranma/One Pound Gospel crossover; very few people may have read OPG, so
they may not be interested in how in fits with Ranma.

Now, if you write a category 1 or 2 fic and get no response, *then* you
should worry; it usually falls into the Thumper method of response:
"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."

So, that's my (admittedly limited) experience with this ML.  If anyone
has something else to say, I'd love to hear it.'

I think that on this list it is more like that unless it is below 3 or
above 8.75 on a scale of 10 you will get very few comments (unless it's a lemon
or Ranma).
