You've been posting on here regularly since May, but I've noticed you get very, very few reviews. I'm sure you've heard this before, but I'll say it anyway: if you want to get reviews and/or build up a faithful group of readers you need to shorten your chapters. That is, unless you're happy with getting almost no feedback. Until you establish a reputation on this site, your massive chapters are going be ignored by just about everybody. Start with shorter submissions. If your stuff is quality, you'll build up a loyal group of readers and a good rep and then you can post larger chapters.

I don't know an author who posts on here who doesn't want feedback. I certainly do, or I wouldn't bother posting. Find a way to shorten your chapters and you'll get some. It may take a little bit because I am certain some people avoid your stuff because they assume the chapters will be huge, but if they start seeing reviews--especially good reviews--they'll likely give you another chance. On the other hand, you can keep posting gargantuan chapters and continue to get ignored.

I'll post my review of this chapter after I'm done with the fic pick.
