That's a good point about the lack of interaction. Podfics are a lot of work for very little reward. I think people go into them, like them, and then think, "Oh, but this chick didn't WRITE the fic," so then they don't leave any sort of comment -- on sound effects, on acting, clarity, stylistic choices, music.

(I think the first time anyone podficced for me, it was an H.P. Lovecraft fic I wrote for "The Colour Out of Space." I was blown away by the sound effects and the creepy atmosphere.)

Anyway, I think it sucks, because like I said, y'all put a LOT of time and effort into these for very little appreciation.
