Hm. I just counted up and I got 12 pieces of feedback in total for both my JuC Swap stories. Certainly not the worst haul I've ever had! And yeah - I think a lot of people read and don't send feedback, I know I"m not as good about fbing stories I've liked as I could be. And that's fine. (I do keep track of my fic journal via LJ Toys, so I have some idea of the numbers of people that are looking at my stories...)
I think I saw that same post on the JJB, actually! phaballa directed me to it because there were a couple of posts there that were very complimentary about the stories that I wrote (always an ego-boost!) and I was worrying 'cause I hadn't had much fb... and I remember someone saying that she didn't want to send me feedback because what did I care what a total stranger thought. I swear, if I'd had an account there, I would have been hard-pressed not to make a post saying, HI, I'M THE AUTHOR, I CARE!
With FNW - well, my recipient really enjoyed it, and I managed to make at least one person who doesn't normally enjoy JuC read and enjoy it, and the people who I wanted to read and like it did! So I'm not too upset about the lack of feedback really!
