I don't know why I bother

This is the second fic in a row that I published on FA without getting a single review. I don't know whether FA's membership is falling, or whether the anti-fpb meme has spread beyond healing.

Oh, that's easy.

It's the former.

Well, I wouldn't want that either...

FA is a lot slower. I used to get maybe 5 comments or so after posting new art. I'm lucky to get one now. It is kinda sad.

I'm sorry fpb; don't be glum. I don't know about other people, but I have pretty much completely left HP fandom, and it has probably been a year or more since I have read any HP fic at all. I sincerely believe that much of the HP fic audience has gone away since the last book has been released. I only read Supernatural fic, or the occasional Buffy fic now, and I've heard Supernatural called the fandom that ate the HP fandom. So my point is that I doubt it is any anti-fpb sentiment that caused the no comments on your fics.

on the upside, you mentioned earlier that you wanted a place for harry potter fic that didn't drop into the porn market - with the dropping numbers, can this "FA" site be used for this purpose?
Where is FA btw?

Hardly likely - they are the chief centre of infestation for Harry/Draco slash. Their address is www.fictionalley.org

Personally, it has been well over a year since I last logged onto FA. I don't think the site politics help, either, but don't get too discouraged! You are a wonderful writer. :-)
