I found the strategy that works for me is first and foremost get the grammar and punctuation up to the highest standard to your capability. More times than not, if a writer struggles with the basic concepts of sentence structure and capitalization, the the chances they are capable of telling a good story is slim to none. If I see that, I usually don't even bother going on. Shorter stories seem to be more successful in obtaining reviews than the longer ones, but with anything you have to grab a reader's attention. That is why the Title of your story needs to be top notch. Something needs to grab a reader's attention as they're scrolling. Interesting and witty titles can do that. In some ways, your title can be the most important part of a good story. If you want a longer story reviewed, that may take some work on your part. Lots of people don't want to a read a long story for purpose of reviewing; I'm guilty of that. That is why you need to get familiar with other's who are posting. Find the ones that are writing similar content as you or topics you enjoy. Comment on past stories and critique new ones. This is basically networking and I don't care who you are, everyone on this sight enjoys feedback concerning their work. I believe the WW goes two ways, it's give and take. If you've given feedback or comments for several people you might have no problems in the future you can asking them personally, "Hey, would you mind taking a look at this story?" I bet, chances are they will say yes.
