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.

I read and liked!
But I got linked to your website, and had nowhere to fb to!
*hangs head*
I'm really really bad at sending actual email fb. But! *pets* I enjoyed, a lot!
Orlijah's like candy. I'll read it every time.

No guilt or head-hanging necessary! And it wasn't meant as a plea for feedback or anything like that.

I'm really really bad at sending actual email fb.

That's actually another piece of information I was looking for: whether people aren't sending feedback because email feedback is too much trouble. (Another suspicion I had; LJ makes it so easy to just respond to a post as soon as you finish reading something.)

Because I waffled when posting a link, finally deciding not to post the story itself in a any communities except thespecialhell, mainly because I've recently discovered that you can apparently edit other folks' posts in a community, and I really don't like that when it comes to my fiction.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story, BTW. Thanks for letting me know.

Just wanted to second this: I am a bad, naughty fangirl who almost never emails fb. LJ comment, absolutely, if I liked something (say, if I were to rate it and got a 7/10 or better, I'll fb), but email... probably not going to unless whatever it was was absolutely *incredible*.

That's useful information, and I appreciate it.

I'm still not sure I want to crosspost entire stories all over hell and gone like I did with my first few, but I'll take into account that my feedback ratio will suffer.
