Lil you make a very good point about how "no/little feedback was a good sign", but I'll be honest. I've posted a couple of stories here, and neither one has a feedback thread started by anyone about them.

My friends here, that have read the stories I have written, have told me that they liked them, but nobody felt the need to post any feedback. (note: IMW did start a feedback thread for a story I wrote)

I don't plan on becoming a writer, but I would welcome feedback on MY stories. I can take constructive criticism should I recieve it, but as Lou pointed out, the general practice is "if you can't say something nice.....".

I guess if ALL posted stories had links to a feedback thread at the bottom of the last page of the story, maybe more feedback would be written. This would require the moderator to "post" the stories, however, so that the link would automatically appear, instead of the story being posted by the author.
