Same, even the extremely weird genfic I wrote for one Yuletide received comments on day 1 or 2. Maybe people are starting to hit exchange saturation? I've noticed this in a few fandoms - there are so many fests/exchanges/fanweeks/zines popping up all over the place that people just stop participating entirely. It would be pretty sad if that fatigue were starting to effect Yuletide too.

Maybe try another 3L1T for fics that still have no comments? I'm at the stage where I've run out of fandoms I know to read, and I'm ready to start reading more widely.

Yes, I wish both 3T1L threads were more active!

Ask and ye shall receive. I'm going to group them by theme. Any theme requests?

I tried the ballet one because it's short and I love ballet but, ugh, while it was extremely beautiful it was also equally confusing.

I had brushed up my knowledge of Swan Lake on wikipedia before reading this fic and I had real trouble keeping track of what was going on, how the curse was supposed to work and who was attracted to whom.

Luckily, the recip seems to have been able to follow but I was just left scratching my head, possibly because this was based on an anime that I'm not familiar with and might deviate from what I know about the ballet.

Beautiful and poetic imagery, though, and since I'm usually there for the beauty and poesy of the ballet as well, that part at least worked out for me.

I'll do a femslash one if anyone puts one up.
