It seems to me that, judging from the number of tantrums, 
footstamping and general tear duct leakiness on this list that there 
is a problem.

Uh, you think so?

This is that quite simply a lot of the people on this list are doing 
their damnedest to write good fiction but their efforts are not being 
rewarded with any C&C. These are the people who, to be quite frank 
are the ones who need it most if they ever want to improve. Added to 
which it's hugely discouraging to not even get so much as a peep out 
of your peers after you have put so much effort into crafting your 
work.

     Yeah. Like me! I write things that tend to be, hmm how can I say it, 
oblivious. Like I wrote a DB fic starring Chichi as the main hero, a Ranma 
fanfic that starred Soun and Hinako, and now a Teknoman fanfic, that has gotten 
C&C, but what I need is some from people like Zen, Palmer, Benett, Huang, and 
the like. I want to know how I can make my fics better, but I don't get any C&C 
on how.

Whilst kudos are deserved by people like Zen and co for their work, 
all too often they are c&c'd to the exclusion. The thing is though, 
they don't need it so much. They already know they are good, other 
peoples opinions don't matter so much to them and they don't need 
help to write their stuff.

Yeah, while on the other hand.  I DO!!

What I propose is a kind of informal rule which isn't there to be 
enforced, just a kind of fanettiquette thing.

I'm for it. 

 If some C&C comes your way.  Keep note of who 
sent it and, the next time they publish something, perhaps go a 
little out of your way to give some advice or even just a 'hey thats 
really cool'.

You people reading this? Read it, it's good.
