I try to get through as many rps as I can, and when possible, give feedback to those asking for it. I think it is a nice touch when people give you feedback, and is perhaps something that we should try to do more of when possible.

There's a major problem with someone being made to give feedback when they really don't have much to say:
You'll get halfassed responses.
Seriously, I'd rather get someone who wants to give feedback not as often, but when they do really take the time to give solid responses over someone who doesn't really give a fuck and only gives it because it's required.
I see where you guys are coming from (especially as someone who constantly asks for feedback) but requiring it wouldn't really fix the problem. If you want tips to get better, it's better to get it from someone who wants to help.
At least, in my opinion.

Umm, I can't see "forced feedback" being a good thing. I think any time something is forced it turns into more of a chore rather than a hobby.
It's a difficult thing to encourage, really. Because sometimes people find it difficult just to find time to write their own RPs.
I think CM Punk's handler (from a couple months ago) had the best solution, and that was in order to receive feedback you must first give feedback.
Like, say you have an RP and you want to get feedback on it. Well, first you pay in by giving someone else feedback on the feedback board, and then you post your work.

Yo, this is a sentiment that really helps me when I sit down and write stuff.
Write like a reader.
You know what you like in works of fiction, so focus on that. Likewise, you know what you don't like. Fuck what anyone else likes or doesn't. Yes, you're writing for a competition where the judges decide who posted the better work; if you let that get you down, you'll never improve.
Feedback's important; not as important as the joy YOU get out of it.

Guys if you ever are really in need of feedback message me, I don't have time to feedback everyone on the feedback section but will be more than willing to help anyone who really wants it.
