To be honest?

Your story stood well enough on its own, enough that any corrections would
be beyond my own estimation of my own skill in writing.

The youma thing, was truly awefull. It had some potential. Basicly; what
would be the result if the conlict portrayed in sailor moon took place as
part of a larger backdrop of a world-wide war?

Suddenly you have all this room to play in that didnt exist in the
original story. You get to take the canon written in SM and run with it,
maybe adding on a little as you go.

So basicly it was just some sharp eyed people spotting something
underneath the dressing of a rather lack-luster "story".

Okay. I've been watching the FFML for the past while, and I've noticed
a lot of posts that aren't really fic-related (especially since the
original "fic" is better described as an alternate history than as an
actual story with an actual plot). Meanwhile, my fics (and some other
people's) have received no on-list replies, and only one person has
replied off-list. I don't want to come across as demanding attention or
anything like that, but the way I see it, there are four main
possibilities for why this has happened:
1) I haven't posted enough C&C to get over the magical ethereal limit
that makes people willing to C&C mine.
2) My fics are so bad that everyone automatically deletes them.
3) This is no longer the FanFicML; it's just the ML now.
4) Sunspots.

I would greatly desire to know which of the above is true. In the
meantime, I'm going to C&C a bit. But if this trend continues, I will
have to look for another place to post my fics, since the main reason I
post them here is because the C&C I have received in the past has
HELPED me to improve them! As far as I have been told, that is the
purpose of the FFML.

Thank you for your time,
Jonathan Rosebaugh
