I know in my WWF '94 diary however, I'm having trouble drawing in new readers or soliciting a lot of reader response. If not a prediction contest, what other ways can you draw people in? Or, are people only going to read certain diaries based on interest in product/era? In terms of my WWF '94 game, I think it's not a "sexy" time for the WWF and staying within the bounds of realism is going keep reader interest down...? I'm not sure...still tinkering with this idea...</div></blockquote><p> </p><p>
Best way to get reader response is just to keep going - people will often wait for a diary to get going before they start reading. Don't worry about feedback- it'll come in time. </p><p> </p><p>
Smwilliams hits the nail on the head really - keep at it and you'll develop a 'following'.</p>
