This is true and something to be proud of! Personally I love remix meta but I still like reading and commenting on actual remixes even more. I think feedback is something Merlin fandom is relatively good at, and it's been nice to see some comments from folks who aren't participating in the challenge themselves, and even a few who don't usually read Merlin fic. (Am still sad about a few of those fics that have hundreds of hits and only one or two comments though.)
