This is not an attack on Satashi (I've got better things to do with my time). My whole point is that if someone else other than Satashi writes something and posts it in here, it won't get commented on. Your statement appears strangely absurd: are you saying that it's alright for just Satashi's work to be commented on and the works of other writers ignored? Taking what you appear to be saying and applying it to another situation, it would appear that since Lord of the Rings was such a ground breaking series with a great deal of material written, people should pay more attention to it instead of other fantasy writings. Or, another example, because there are so many dumb war movies produced, so something like Black Hawk Down ought to be ignored?
I'm sorry, Skyfall, you're missing the point. The point is not how much comments are given to Satashi's work. The point is that for any author who's username is not Satashi, if they post in here, they get ignored. Thus, since this thread has such a heavy focus to Satashi, it should thus be renamed in the spirit of accuraccy. That's how I'd do it on the other forums where I'm a moderator.
Or to put it another way... you're saying that JK Rowling should get more discussion and fame for Harry Potter, even if Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down is a better book. Bowden should be ignored because he is not Rowling.
This is how it appears to me. This is how I call it. No more, no less. It has nothing to do with Satashi, but with the subculture of the Fanfic thread.

there's a few errors in your statements:
1. satashi posts fics and chapters like a lunatic, ofc there's enormous amounts of comments and discussion about her work, you might say that most of the posters here ARE her fans
2. other fics do NOT get ignored by default, for example, check the comments for eagles post on the previous page (and i recommend you read the lemon too
)
3. it's not exactly mandatory for us to read every single fanfiction that get's posted here, if you think that some fic didn't get the appreciation it deserved then by all means, tell us about that fic and why it was so awesome and there will be discussion about it as well.
just my 5 cents, it's commendable that you try to get attention for others, but please get ALL your facts straight first.
ps. sorry Skyfall, we ended up discussing this matter anyway...
