poll! KFZ!

[aimeelicious]

So I've been giving a lot of thought to character death in fic, and the fic header warnings that often come with them, but sometimes don't. In the interest of fostering a dialogue on the topic, I've created a poll to gather some general information about reader preferences. This post/poll is UNLOCKED, in the hope that some of you will be willing to PIMP it in your journals and hopefully encourage others to fill it out, as I'd like as much input as possible. ETA: I do plan on doing a results post based on this poll, so please know that your responses will not just disappear into the ether.

Feel free to answer the poll anonymously if you wish, and take over my journal for discussion, just don't get nasty! This has been declared a kerfuffle-free zone (KFZ).

[Poll #450697]

ETA: Sorry for forgetting Smallville as a fandom...it's one of my faves and I left it off! Dang polls, can't edit them.

My primary fandom at the moment is due South - although that could change any minute. I am a total wuss when it comes to sad fic. It has to be an outstanding author before I'll read anything where one of my boys dies. Or even one that doesn't end happily ever after. Even then, it's likely that I'll just read it the once and won't be able to reread because OMG sad!!!!

I tend to steer away from sad fic myself unless it comes highly recommended, and that's partly why I wanted to put out this poll, to get other people's views. Thanks for responding! =)
