keaaluSomeone tell me: short of making everything pornographic, and mentioning it all the time, how do I make my fiction interesting enough that more than about 7 people actually want to read it? :P
Plus, she says, when she should be in bed, asmeeping, how do you make a character good enough that a person will CARE about them enough to WANT to read about them? (Rach, you seem to have got it down pat, what with Spider and all that. *le sigh*) I would happily sacrifice 50% of my drawing ability just for someone or two to NOTICE (and for the merits of the character itself, rather than just the aesthetics).

All I can say; finish it, find a good editor, a good publisher, and hope for the best.
Do keep in mind that people's interests are subjective. It will be impossible to keep everyone's attention with it. Conversely, some people may like it without your even having to try. In theory, everything has an audience. You just need to find yours.
The reason why porn has seems to have an advantage here is that people go looking for it, as opposed (or possibly in addition) to the reverse...

Trazu...I have to practically beg people to even read his fics (cause everyone wants to only read/write stories about canon characters and their various 'pairings' *shudder*)
In Trazu's case though I am likely just targeting the 'wrong' kind of audience for it.
