Because Aiba is a Baka

He woke up with cold sweat plastered on his forehead.  His breathing was hard and shallow as traces of the nightmare lingered in his thoughts. He shook his head clear and pulled his blanket closer. Coldness and warmth webbed together in his body. His insides felt so hot, but his body shivered violently. Sakurai Sho spared a glance at the digital

Ah, I sometimes find that things I post on Sunday evenings don't get as much feedback as other days. I think it's because it's the end of the weekend, you know? Like everyone goes back to work/school then posts the things they did that day and stuff done on Sunday kind of gets buried.

But if you want some tips on getting people to read/comment, well, I'm not exactly an expert, but there are some things I found helped me:
* People in this (fanfiction)fandom are generally quite nice. If you read and comment on their work, they usually don't mind if you ask them to read yours in return.
* Chat to the people who do comment, find out what pairings/genres and stuff they like. Next time you write something that has something they like in it, mention it to them. (I found that sliping it into a comment on their journal works. Like: "Oh, and _______, I've just posted/am posting a fic with Aiba bullying Jun, I know you sadi you wanted to see something like that! =3")
The above probably sounds quite calulating, but it's actually quite flattering. (I've done it and had it done to me) Because that person didn't actaully request it, it shows that you listened to them and made something for their sake.

And sometimes, it just goes like that. I just had a look at my own comments, and the amount of people seems to go up and down with every other fic. Annnnd, I just wrote an essay, didn't I?

Geeez, sorry. I sound so preachy :sigh:

I don't know, I guess I just sort of thought it was the stuff I wish someone had told me when I forst started posting. I'd had my account for a while too and not used it, so I know that feeling.

I wouldn't call myself seasoned though. Just prolific.
