Yeah... and I accept that, but you must admit it's not very
encouraging to someone to receive virtually/absolutely no response to
something that he/she writes.  It's happened to me, and it is
considerably upsetting, as I imagine it is to anyone.  Granted, I
may not be able to pour as much emotion into my writing as Mr. Lawson
can, or make something as suspenseful as IMBS, but I really don't think
I'm a bad writer.

I sympathize; I think just about all of us have been there. However,
there are a few places to turn if you don't get response to your fics.

One is Henry Cobb's comment patrol. They will review fics that do not
receive any response within 24 hours of being posted to FFML. Visit
http://www.io.com/~hcobb for details.

Another is FFIRC. If you join this group, we will review your fic during
our Sunday evening IRC sessions. The catch is that you will be expected
to return the favor and review some of ours. You need not be present
during the actual session, either to review fics or to have your own
reviewed. For details, visit http://www.abraxis.com/RYOUGAECHO/FFIRC/

I plead guilty on that one. Again, it's just my opinion, but I really
don't care for the Ranma anime where it differs from the manga.

That's not really fair, though. 

Fair? 'Tis but my own opinion. You are entitled to one of your own,
which need not agree.

What could be fairer?
