>From my experience, if you want to get commentary, write short, 
one-shot 
Ranma pieces.  "Time, Out of Mind", for example, generated more 
comments 
than any chapter of WUE ever did; granted, much of the commentary was 
along the lines of "who are you and what have you done with the real 
Alan Harnum?", but it was commentary all the same.  ;)

  My claim to the comment generator was "The World's Worst Ranma 
Fanfic!" Absolute worst piece of material I could come up with, but it 
turned out to be quite funny :)

... And I have to admit that I'm somewhat lax in that regard myself.  
I 
do
send comments on occasion, so I don't think I'm entirely dead wood, 
but 
I
think the appropriate grading would be "must try harder" ...  :)

I will confess to being in something of the same category, Angus.  :)

  I myself don't send comments unless I've read a fic (and that says a 
lot; I don't read all that much for lack of time, and I'm sure I'm not 
the only one in that boat).
