A lot of people have posted messages lately lamenting the lack of
comments on their work. Personally, I feel the same way.

That's why I've come up with a proposal. I think the problem would be
solved if as writers we each adopted the following simple policy:

C&C UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM C&C UNTO YOU!

It's simple, really. Figure out what kind of responses you would like
to get on your story. For example, let's say you decide you are hoping
for one detailed analysis of your story, plus five general appraisals.
Go ye forth into your recent backlog of other peoples' fics and find
six of whatever type appeal to you. Do a detailed analysis of one and
general appraisals of the other five, and mail them off!

The above should be adjusted for size, I would think; an analysis of
one long fic ought to be worth two short ones; but I digress.

Think about it: If everybody did this, then on the average, people
would have the C&C they need! Not to mention the fact that non-writers
will hopefully be commenting as well. We could have a veritable
symphony of C&C!

Think about it, will you, won't you?

Well im not a writter like many other people here but i have some friends 
that just like me are just lurkers (and just a few ones who are writters),
and some time ago we were talking about this and i found that other of 
the reasons why many guys who are here don't do too many C&C it's beacuse 
some times we just sent a mail with compliments or C&C (like miself im 
not too good making C&C but i like to sent letters to just say "hey i 
like the fanfic") and then the writter never takes his time to say "Hey 
tanks for answering".

Yes i know that many of the writters don't have time to answer all the 
letters that they got but i can tell you that just a simple reply saying 
tanks it's going to made the guy who sent the C&C think that you are 
really paying attention to his opinion and he will probably start to do 
more C&C (I had made some friends here in that way).

so if you whant some C&C just remeber that you have to give somethig in 
order to get somethig 

just mi how do you say Two cents ???
