Actually, as a universal rule, the longer a series runs, the
less C&C it gets. This does not reflect on quality or popularity,
it merely means that it's now taken for granted. Ask any author
of long-running series, and a majority will tell you that their
C&C has dropped off since beginning their project.
In other words, it's business as usual.

I'll back this up. I've been getting less and less C&C on Childhood of
Modern Dynasty lately. If it wasn't for readers commenting on the RAAC
postings (occasionally) I'd have to assume no one was reading anymore.
There are times I wonder if I should even write the additional books. So
far I'm planning to... but encouragement always helps. :)
C&C on Garden of Eva goes in spurts, but even it is getting lets C&C
lately. I expect major C&C on 1:8 because I'm really screwing things up
in it. :)
As for responding to C&C: I try to reply personally, but can't always do
it. I do put their name in the final product (unless I forget) and I hope
the people I can't reply to personally understand.
If not... screw them! :) Just kidding.

"Unit 01, Angel at eleven o'clock."
"But it's only seven o'clock," Shinji quipped.
The computer-controlled voice didn't find Shinji's joke funny, so the
AI program inserted ten Angels around Shinji's Unit 01. It didn't take
long for his Eva to be reduced to a pile of scrap metal and flesh.
