Okay.... this has passed the ridiculous stage.

For the last few months, it seems this forum has turned into exactly the thing I was first told it wasn't... a place where a select few people can have tons of reviews... and everyone else can be blissfully ignored.

For example, on my last six chapters, I have recived Michael Chase's fabulous editing, a few out and out fans thanking me for writing more... and nothing else.  No commentary... no criticism, no this doesn't work right... it needs improvement, try this... in fact almost nothing telling me at all if anyone is even reading my posts.

Now, this could tell me I'm an out and out ass and no-one is commenting because I've pissed everyone off... except that I've gone out of my way to be polite and thank everyone who's commented, changed things where needed, and explained why some things can't be changed due to over all plotline.  So I can't see where I've been so bad, I'm being ignored.

I can however see a select few authors who can post here... and expect tons of commentary.  Paragon here being a case in point.  I've had two replies in the course of a weekend, verses seven in less than 12 hours for Mr. Haynie.

That's not what I came here for people.  I certainly can't improve the story if no-one bothers to read or comment.

So, now that the complaint is out of the way, here's my question.

How can I adjust my posts to get them read, or what am I doing wrong in the story to make so few people bother to comment?

Or, failing that, where can I go to actually get what I'm looking for?

Private replies please. The Admin's have been very nice to me and I don't wish to annoy them worse than I absolutely have too.
