Votes and reviews are two different forms of responses on this site, as a reader has to log in to do either. Some fantastic stories got not even one vote or review, some only got less than 10 votes. Can you imagine? The author may not know how to promote their work, and so get disappointed. Not that readers are lacking, but readers who love that sort of story won't have even found it. You have almost 2000 votes, *and* reviews by readers who have clearly followed the story. Not everyone likes to give long or even medium-length reviews. But it's very worth it anyway. :))
