How do you feel about the feedback you get at A03? The main reason I post stories on lj is I feel like people comment if I hold stuff up for them to see.
Well, I can't compare it with journal posting because I haven't posted much fiction at my lj/dw. I received quite a few comments for my yuletide fic, certainly not below my expectations, though I've no idea what's the average or anything. I also received quite a bit in a long story I posted (though some were redirected from ff.net, as I tired halfway through of posting in both archives)--again, no idea of averages for longer stories.
What I can perceive is that they're different in type from what I received in the forums. There, I posted every week, more or less the same day (as it's the usual way), and people commented every week, more or less, and not necessarily only to me. As comments were not threaded, people discussed with each other, guessed about where the story was going, and even once got into a discussion about what some lines meant, in a larger context, for a relationship in the story. All in all, they were cooler. I've almost never received detailed, critical comments. The problem with concrit seems to extend itself to all fandoms regardless or medium or subject, sadly.
(And hey, no problem about the babbling! I enjoy reading it as much as doing it myself. :P)
