You got 4 replies?  Wow!  That must be nice!  That's 4 more replies than
my intro got, 3 more replies than ch.1 got, and 2 more replies than ch.2
got of my fanfic.  I always knew I posted to see if anyone, even one other
person, in the universe found my stories as interesting as I do, but I
wrote it cause it burned in my head and cried out to be written (and then
it had absolutely no gratitude and insisted on being written halfway
decent instead of just being tossed off in a single frenzy and discarded -
the creative part of my brain could care less about how it looked, while
the poor analytical part of me was just cringed all the way through the
initial writing :).

	That's what annoys me about the FFML too.  It seems like you'll be lucky 
if you get ANY feedback from writing a fanfic to the ML.  I was thinking of stop 
writing for a while too, but I'm optimistic.  Four responses!  That's better 
than any of my story too, except for the time where I try to attach the format. 
That time, I got at least five message telling me I'm posting the wrong way!  
I'll bet you that SPAM beats useful C & C by the ratio of at least 5 to 1!
