What I propose is a kind of informal rule which isn't there to be 
enforced, just a kind of fanettiquette thing.
  If some C&C comes your way.  Keep note of who 
sent it and, the next time they publish something, perhaps go a 
little out of your way to give some advice or even just a 'hey thats 
really cool'.

That's pretty much how I get C&C on my fics.  I offer C&C to another writer, 
and pop a note in the C&C that mentions one of my fics and I tend to get a 
good amount of C&C that way.  If someone is very good and they know it, I 
still give them C&C on thier work; just because they are good doesn't mean 
they don't need C&C.  You can ALWAYS improve your writing.  My rule of thumb 
is to give C&C on pretty much everything I read, and if I read a lot of 
something I give it a 'Draxon's Review Corner' session with ratings and C&C.  
What really bugs me is when most of the people on the list take a single fic 
and talk about it for several days, and seemingly forget the other fics they 
could be doing C&C for, but hey, we're all just people.  Live for the day, be 
happy, and avoid flames whenever possible.
