>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).
