Setup: So when I make characters I normally have someone with me to help with the basic idea and mold them into their own being (My best example is my Egore, don't ask please. He's hard to write for because of how he tends to speak). Now that I am without that option anymore I have to ask peoples opinions to help me. Example: http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/257770/questions-about-the-royal-sisters

Here's the question: How do you get people to answer questions and give opinions?

I ask, I plead, I beg, and none of it works.

hmm if none of that works might I suggest the villians route and goad them into doing it by saying you doubt their capabilities but then you just look like a dick if it fails. I know how you feel (sorta) I finally got constructive criticism on my story after asking for it... after 4 chapters had been made...
