On a positive note, maybe the people with enough brain to apprentice your fic's already read them elsewhere, and that's why they don't comment at ff.net...
Personally I just look that page over, checking for new authors. Later I bookmark their homepages or lj's if they link them.
As wonky as ff.net sometimes is with the updates (I've seen disappear stories regularly) it's simply too confusing to read there...
I know there are people who only read at ff.net; presumably they are akin to my mother-in-law, who keeps her TV permanently tuned to the BBC and never watches any other station.
I've been hoping to reach that audience, and maybe tempt them to broaden their horizons, but it's a bit of an uphill struggle. ff.net making it impossible to post actual links except on the Author page doesn't help.
