What fan mail?  For my Dirty Pair fic I have recieved 2 comments on it.
Hopefully the BGC fic I posted to this ML and to the Remailer will have
better response

	(wanted to do this priv but couldn't help but be an ass, heh)

	THat's because your writing wasn't good enough!!   Do you think 
people are going to respond to crap!?  Unless it was SO bad they had to 
write you to tell you to STOP!!!

	BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH!

	Ahem... Sorry about that.  Just kidding, haven't read anything 
you've done.  Dirty Pair fic?  You got two responses because most people 
on this ML read only Ranma fics, and I do mean ONLY.  You want responses 
to Dirty Pair, post it on RAAS, perhaps you'll get better luck there.  I 
posted my Arslaan fic here and got one reply.  Posted it on RAAS, only 
got two more but thats cause there really aren't that many Arslaan fans 
out there.  Now let's see... Most authors don't get responses anyway.  I 
got pretty good responses to my Godzilla/Ranma/Nuku crossover, but that 
was fun to do anyway and since the whole idea was insane, people were 
going to like it regardless of how it was written.
	Now the most responses I have ever gotten was from Split 
Personalities but I suspect that this was because it was a lemon.  You 
want responses, write lemon.  Even now I get a response from time to time 
to SP which was written over a year ago!!
	I usually keep in contact with the people who replied and send 
'em the next part or a new fic I did for their approval.  Usually they 
approve and I bask in my own glory.  Heh.
