If I'm not going to get C&C on my fic, what's the point of posting it to
the FFML? Guess maybe it makes sense just to post it to my website and

<Snicker> My website is full of stuff that will never be on the FFML for
just that reason. The way I see it, unless you're part of the IN group,
no one listens to you. C'est la vie.
What in group? There's hundreds of people on this list. The problem is
that most of them either don't have time or don't have the desire to
comment on stories. I only comment on a few stories because I have rather
limited time.
He may be alluding to the fact that the Big named fanfic writers (which
you are one of BTW, and I do mean that as a compliment...) seem to get the
most C&C most of the time. I know that if I see a name that I like the
the fic has a better chance of getting read by me...Espically if it's a
Ranma fic.....
But then that's more the time problem then anything else. Quite frankly
I'd love to go back to the time when I was in High School and could spend
hours on end reading fanfic. I can't though, and thus I spend my resources
carefully...
Which is why I'm skipping over Version 2 of Dance of Shiva. I already sunk
alot of time into that fic, and I enjoyed it, but I don't really want to
put the time into reading it again when I could use it to more productive
means...
But if you want to hallucinate a conspiracy, be my guest.
*Snicker* Time is my only enemy on this list, and it is indeed a fine
enemy. Now if I was Setsuna-san on the other hand....^^
Hmmm, I wonder if I can borrow Himeko's Ribbion...^^
Ja ne!!
