So I've gotten one response to my most recent story, and I'm curious as to whether anyone else has read it and, if they haven't, what turned them off of it. To that end, I've created a poll (behind the cut).

I want to stress that I'm not going to be making notes about who answers what; think of it as anonymous market research, only I don't think I can make a poll anonymous. *g* If the story didn't catch your attention/interest, I'd really like to know why not, for future reference.


[Poll #259546]

well...i think i can suggest that this might be a self-selecting poll??? b/c as i checked out the answers and realized that i was so far the only one admitting to not reading it or planning to...huge embarassment :-)

btw, you can make polls that are open to all;friends and viewable by all;friends;noone (somewhere in the header you gotta specify...it defaults to all, however)

Unfortunately, I think you're right. I was really mostly trying to either confirm or allay my suspicion that most of the people who regularly read my fic were avoiding this one because of the extensive list of pairings.

huge embarassment :-)

No need for embarrassment. I didn't expect you to read it; I know you don't do LotRiPS. And honestly, it wasn't intended to be a guilt-inducing thing or anything. I was just trying to figure out if I'd turned people off with the way I listed the pairings (or the simple fact that there were multiple pairings).

Re: poll options...

I know there are a lot of options for who can read and who can participate; I chose to make it open to all, in case there were people who said, "I would've read it, but it was f-locked and I don't ask to be friended just to read fiction." Or, something else related to that. Because that would be useful data to me, as well.

Thank you for answering the poll, even though it made you feel all alone. *g*
