Subject:       A Request

As an author, I have a request.
If you see something and read it, please email the author to say
*somehting*.  Even it it's
"I liked it" or "I don't get it." or "I deleted it because the spelling
was so bad."

Why?
1) Because a lot of people's series' deserve more C&C.  Some authors might
decide that no one is listening, so they'll stop writing...I don't want
this to happen.

2) The best way to stir up a big commotion is with shocking, ooc spamfics.
Eventually, the list will just dissolve into these, if it hasn't already.
People will start thinking "Well, no-one read the nice, well-written piece
that I wrote, so this time I'll just write a kinky sex scene between Kunou
and Soun" or suchlike.  I don't want a mailing list of "See what we can do
to get attention."-style fics.  

HEAR HEAR!!

Please, you people, say SOMETHING!!

Especially for us people who havn't written anything before; it gets 
VERY disheartening to hear the blank silence.

Seriously, if it hadn't been for one really nice person who DOES 
comment, I think I'd have given up Ragnarok in frustration at the 
complete lack of interest.

Even people who have mailed asking for eps they missed havnt 
commented.

We dont ask for a detailed C&C, just a few sentences...

This IS one of the main points of the mailing list, isn't it???
