@Sylveonlover111 with so many people gone, taking long or short breaks, just reading now, or anything else, it's a bit hard to say. I didn't start getting attention until I talked with Saffy, my numerous chats with Raven, and multiple comments on stories. Being nice/trying to be funny managed to get people to notice, but what probably got me into decent stardom wasn't even pokemon related. Still, you need an answer and I know a couple of people who can help, like AnshRaj112 who helped get me some followers or look into spreading the word, but not like a full out ad you know. There are still plenty of pokeshippers here, just most of the new ones are small. Sorry if this wasn't helpful, I only have half a brain cell left. Hope you get what you're looking for though and have a good one!
