Well, at least you get something. That's something in it's own

about that. Heck, I'm one of them.

I'd rather get nothing than someone telling me why my story sucks because
they want to have a go at me.  Heck, if no-one says anything, at least 

	Good lord, who does that? I've never really been flamed, GOD knows I
write the sort of fics that would (Suicide Blast, Final Embrace,
Mousse's Fun with Fettellio, Nightmares in the Daylight) so maybe I
don't really know what your talking about. Still, flames would almost be
appreciated these days. It'd at least let me know I wasn't being
killfiled.

I
feel I haven't offended anyone.  It also could mean that nobody has read
the bloody thing either, but I'm not complaining.

	Heh, I used to think the same thing. Give it some time, you'll find
silence is NOT golden... it's not even lead.

I have found that a good way to attract C&C is to do some of it 
yourself.  I mean if more than two people are complaining that there 
story hasn't gotten any c&c then that means they havent been doing it 
themselves.  Right?

Another way of generating C & C is to make your work as tacky, sick and
controversial as possible....  Look at the reaction that Nekophilia by
Uncle Fester got when it was posted here not that long ago.  That kinda
thing really brings the weevils out of the pantry.  :)

Not all of it can be categorised as constructive, but it can be more
amusing than the fic itself.  :)
