Yes, I have a fic journal that is set up as a comm and f-locked because I am scared of certain ppl reading my slash stuff. So you have to join it and it has hardly any members, therefore I don't know if putting a review there would do any good. There is someone there who is not a friend of this LJ, though, so perhaps I should anyway. ;)
I agree that any little bit helps. I am sure it does. One person tells another, and so on and so on. Even writers who are famous today started from nothing, and I do believe that a combination of luck and hard work can do something to promote a story to readers. Otherwise, without the word of mouth as well as some promotion, how would readers ever know about a story they might like?
Btw, I've already had a comment from mentioning 'Ravages' on my LJ. The person would love to read it but is unable to buy it. That's a shame, but at least the interest was there. :)
