Now, I know there's a lot of spam here, and that therefore people are
trotting out the complaints that there isn't enough C&C available.  Well,
I have about 60 or so fanfics that I haven't yet had the time to read.
Do you know how many fanfics are posted on this list?  A lot.  I'm 
already so behind that I'll never catch up, and I don't read the SM or
BGC stuff.

There's a few authors who, by dint of being really excellent, I take the
time to read as soon as I get their newest stuff.  Richard Lawson,
Caroline Seawright, J. Austin Wilde, Biles' Ranma stuff, Smith and Herriot.
Now, you could argue I would find more authors if I read more stuff.  And
you'd be right.  But I'm working 8:30-5 all week, writing my own stuff, and
occasionally trying to have a life.  This is why I don't get into more
anime series than the four I currently like.  They are time-consuming.

I apologize to the authors who don't get my C&C.  I don't get that much
myself.  Don't have the time.  But that is why.  There may be a lot of 
spam, but it doesn't mean we're deliberately posting spam to avoid C&C.
There is no conspiracy!
