It's not like NO-ONE is going to read gen fic. Just fewer people. Whether you want to post them or not probably depends on how important popularity and comments are to you ;). I see plenty of great stories in this fandom with very little hype--that doesn't mean they're not great stories.
I think this is pretty much a "fandom effect", rather than a "Criminal Minds effect".
Well, I'm not going to say I don't love comments (ha, who doesn't?), but it's more that I just don't know if anyone READS it. It's not like FFnet, where you can track hits and get an idea if people even clicked the link, ya know?
Every fandom is different in that way, and it's just really interesting to see how the CM is different from my last one! It's a huge learning curve, but it's kind of fun. :)
Oh yeah, and then even at ff.net you might get hits but not comments and not know if people liked it and just didn't leave a comment, or clicked and then went "aaah, my eyes..." and hit back.
