I am finding the exact same experience on Fictionpress ... it is like working in a vacuum. I don't write to make money but I would at least like to hear every once in a while that someone is having a laugh ... or a good scare ... or cry ... or whatever over what I'm writing. LOL. After talking to a few long time members at both Fanfiction.net and Fictionpress.com is that the communities were once quite active but lately it seems no one wants to bother giving any R&R. Sad because there are some really good reads on both sites.
