Hiya NeonB,
       Now you see why the Newbie Forum.  That is exactly why we exist, to
give people who don't normally recieve a large amount of C&C help.  I admit,
the FFML will favor some people before others, but that's because people

Newbie Schubie, I've been here for at least a year and a half/two years and
I still don't get C&C.
Sorry, Newbie Forum (please don't insult us) is fairly new.  We do look for
fics that haven't had much coverage, but first we help eachother out. I
mean, if you want to join it, you can. Just email me back.  
We can try to correct the problemwith you getting little C&C, though I am
surprised you don't get much. It might be cause people think you get a lot.
I didn't write you any C&C cause I've been to your webpage and figured you
get tons of the stuff.

In fact, the only flames/comments I receive are from my reviews. What does
that tell us? People here are more interested when we talk about their
stuff and not reading our stuff.
Sometimes, but not always.  I know plenty of people that take time out of
their busy schedules to read and comment on "our stuff", maybe you just
weren't on their list.

How can someone tell if its interesting? Out of every fanfic, almost all
looked interesting to me. 
Sorry my freind, but I know I look at the subject column.  I read the ones
that concern Ranma 1/2 first, and in order with the most interesting
sounding names (of course now, I read the NF ones first, then the others).
And then I go on to size and varying other factors.  Most people just don't
have enough time to work, write,and read everything.

Also, why would people C&C someone that's good? I mean, geeze if they're
good, then they're good. C&C some sucky people, so they'll become good. 
Yeah, that was what I was saying.  I just formed the Newbie forum just for
that purpose.  Even if you're not a newbie, you can be part of it.  We just
put a priority in C&C fics that don't recieve much C&C (we haven't done much
for you, cause we're newly formed).

Got any other interesting questions, let me know.
