The number of reivews is pretty low comparing to the number of readers. Here are some numbers: there are average 8000 unique readers who actually open the story text pages. There are over 2000 reviews, over 7000 registered users! And there are still more users registered everyday than the number of reviews written.
It's no surprise to get more email responses than reviews on this site. It may be because it's easier to write an email. But what most people are doing on this site? They read the stories, enjoy it or not, then leave without a trace left. That's a sad fact, especially for you authors.
I am very impressed by boccaccio's opinion: when we blame other readers not writing email/review at all, what did we do! There are over 400 authors here. If we all drop a line to the author after we read the stories, the author would be flooded by emails/reviews.
Anyway, if any of you guys can think of any idea to promote readers to write reviews, please let me know.
