One thing you can do, if you think you have a good story, is to nominate it for Featured Story. If it gets any votes, there's a good chance that the voters will leave useful comments. (On a high-traffic page, no less.)

I did that with my first story when I was brand new and almost totally unknown, and Shane left a detailed comment on the voting page that was most gratifying in addition to being great publicity. (Thanks again, Shane, if you're still watching this thread.)
