Well...

I have received a ton of email on this topic, and while a few people seemed
to want to support more public C&C, the majority of people who responded
believe that the use of pre-readers makes more sense because the list is 1)
too large and spam may increase, 2) they don't want  their comments to be
seen by the rest of the list, 3) they do not think that they will get any
feedback or 4) the FFML is not for rough drafts, it is for "refined"
versions of fanfics.

- more spam.
- concerned about their comments being read by others.
- won't get any feedback.
- The ML is for posting "refined" versions of fics, not rough drafts.


That's what people told me.

There were many well-presented arguments, and everybody who responded
seemed genuinely concerned about the future of C&C to the list. In
conclusion, after reading 3 of the 4 statements above, over and over, I
know *I* am concerned about the future of public C&C.
