You are no true writer if you don't beg, whine, or throw tantrums for comments. The more dramatic your pleas are, the more seriously your fellow writers will take you. I recommend throwing throwing a few consecutive tantrums then toning it down to a constant whine.

But it's a cool story anyway. I prefer the second version. It's more personal.

And look, I'm risking parental wrath to read this. Feel flattered, I guess.
