I've had an account on Fanfiction.net for about... five years, now. Most TDI stories on there are non-comp, but there at lots of competition stories too. (A warning, though, when people look for TDI fanfiction on FF.net, they're usually looking for stuff about the original TDI characters.) If you really want your fics to reach a widest possible audience, that's the place to go. Also, different types of fics attract different types of reviewers. I can't guarantee that every review you get will be of some actual quality, but quality stories tend to attract quality reviews, so there's that. Since dozens of people browse the TDI section per day, you're bound to get some reviews. I can't say for sure, though. Don't sweat it if you don't get many reviews, though. Quality over quantity and all that. I say if your reviews are helpful and the reviewers really want to help you improve, how many reviews you have doesn't matter. Some people are just looking to get a quick Duncan/Gwen or Noah/Cody fix, y'know. Heck, just a certain pairing like the ones mentioned above in a story might attract more reviewers than say... a gen fic or a competition fic. It all depends, though. How well you write, what the subject and tone of the story is, plot, originality, the characters involved, the spelling and grammar -- all those are deciding factors in how popular a story is.

If it's friends and a community setting you're looking for, you could try the forums. If you don't see a forum you like, you could try creating your own. They allow member created forums.

Also, as one last note, make sure every chapter of your story is saved as a file on your computer. I'd recommend using ".doc" files in MS Word or, if you want to use HTML (there's no wiki formatting so that's what you're gonna have to use if you don't want to do the ".doc" thing). You upload the documents on to the site, and then you post them as chapters in the story. Also, make sure to read the TOS and the guidelines. If you think you've got what it takes, you'll be fine.

Alright. I'm done. Back to your regularly scheduled lives, everyone. xD
