People have been complaining of late about the low volume of c&c they have
been receiving.  Put 2 and 2 together.  Maybe people aren't reading the
fics anymore because they're bored shitless with them.  When someone sees
"Ranma" or "R1/2" in the subject header, maybe they're saying to themselves
"Oh shit, not another one".

Maybe. Maybe not. From the responses I get I know that my Ranma fics
have at least some readership, and that those who are reading them are
enjoying them and finding them worthwhile. I also enjoy other Ranma fics
when I have the time to read them. I don't say "not another one" unless
it's an Akane bashing fic. :-)

The anti-Ranma people used to complain that the Ranma fics were getting
TOO MUCH C&C, and that they were being tyrannized by not getting their
fair share. Have things changed so much now, hm?

 You may think that there are endless
possibilities for fictions with Ranma, but those endless possibilities go
as far as the interest in the readership.

Speak for yourself.
