I was pretty disappointed with the reactions to the story I posted there, as well. I'm not sure if people were just extra busy this holiday season, if there were just too many submissions to wade through (I confess that I gave up after the first few days, myself *sniffles*), or if the fandom is dying out a bit. However, your submission was anything but mediocre. It was beautiful and profound and heart-wrenching. I do read manga and comics, but I think, even if I didn't, I would have no problem following the story, or at least enjoying it!
Whatever your decision, whether you go to another fandom or do more original work, you have my support. You're an amazing artist, and seem to be a really nice person. I may have said that once or twice before, but it bears repeating! :P So, yeah. ♥
Now that I finally have time to read some of the other submissions in the fest, I found that many fics are very well written and yet have only, like, a page of review. So I guess you shouldn't be disappointed. :-)
Thank you very much for viewing my comics and giving me your comments. I'm relieved that you didn't have problem following the story, and I'm very happy to hear that I did alright and you enjoyed it.
I'm not sure what I'd like to do with my art right now. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon. :-)
I definitely loved this piece. I thought it was beautiful and I love the comic style being as I am a manga reader myself. I think the story you were conveying was totally plausible, actually. Unrequited love and desperation do strange things to people.
As far as lack of feedback, I'm guilty as charged. There were so many submissions that were 12,000+ words that I'm so very far behind on my reading. I think alot of people got overwhelmed by it after the first week or so. But you are certainly not mediocre, missy! I love your work, its so pretty *_*
Since 4 posts a day was impossible for me to keep up with, I gave up very soon with the fics. I tried to keep up with the art at least, since it required less time. It might be the same for other people as well.
I am a bit O.o about 4 comment pages feeling like a lack of response though. It sounds like a huge response to me. The idea of original work does sound good, however. I thought you already did original work. :)
Yeah, I agree with you that there are too many art and fics over the month of December, but like you said, art should be easier to follow since it requires less time.
I apologize for complaining while there're already more responses than a lot of entries over at the comm. I realize it's hard to understand by others (hell I don't even understand myself), but I was only writing what I felt on my LJ. I hope it's understandable.
Heh -- I was almost infinitely far behind on reading/looking at art, and since yours was one of the last posted... that does make a difference. Things that go up in the first week almost always get more comments.
But when I went and looked at your art a little bit ago, my comment was the first on the fifth page of comments, so I'd say you got quite a lot in the end! *g* All of mine were on a single page this round.
Thank you very much for your comment on my art over at the comm. I truly appreciate it. Thank you ♥
Yeah I shouldn't have been complaining, should I? I've edited the complaint out of my original post 'cuz it just sounded too unreasonable, even to myself.
As many commenters have said, there are just too many fics being posted last month. A lot of very well-written fics got only two pages, which is quite sad.

Yeah, I agree with you on the massive amount of fic and art over last month. I found it hard to follow all of them and had to retort to skim read. :-/
