Just an observation about feedback, and more specifically, feedback etiquette.
At the time of posting we have three unanswered requests for feedback on the Feedback board. Also, a quick view through all of the threads suggests there are only two, perhaps three roster members who aren't staff who have shown willing to give feedback.
Something like feedback works both ways, people. If you see a thread, or a couple, where somebody has asked for feedback, take five minutes out of your day, read their RP, and tell them what you thought of it. Similarly, if somebody has offered you feedback, make a mental note and the next time that person requests feedback, you should be the first person to offer. Tit for tat. You scratch my back... etc etc.
Sorry if I'm coming across as a prick about this, but I firmly believe that feedback is essential for the continuing success and improvement of an e-fed, and everyone involved with it. Without it, how will we know what people want to read? How will we really know what works within our RPs, and what people would like to see more or less of? It doesn't need to be an essay (though if you want to give detailed feedback, by all means do); two or three points of what you enjoyed and two or three points where you think the writer could've improved is exactly what the doctor ordered.
So... yeah. Feedback etiquette, and a couple of basic rules that if everyone follows, in theory, every member of this roster can improve as writers and fedders. Again, sorry if I seem like a prick in the way I've got my points across. Just wanted to bring it up
