Let me clarify the "sucess/not a sucess" thing, so I don't sound emo. :) It's like... with really GOOD feedback (of which I consider something that contains a criticism, a compliment, and a further discussion - that's RARE, yo) you know you hit the nail on the head, you know? If you were a pro writer, you'd know by your sales. With fanfic, you know from the discussion it generates, I think. So... Yeah. I got more feedback on that one fic - which is CRAZY for a Connor fic in my journal. Usually I get the shitty "ewww!" remarks that are mind-boggling.
And yeah, that was Kovsky that wrote that 5 Families. That actually inspired me to write my M*A*S*H/Connor fic and I don't DO crossovers. Her post-Choices fic with Dawn and Connor is astounding. She has a very unique style - it's spare and sundrenched and paints just enough so you can do the rest in your mind as you read. That's my favorite kind of fic, right there. (And she writes all sorts: if you like The Office, those are tight. Gah, she has a M*A*S*H fic with BJ and Pearce that just sucker punches you and I STILL think about images from that fic after a year.)
