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.

I'm still reading hobbit stories, so LOTR, with RPS for those actors as well.

Oh, and forgot to note, it's not that I believe the author MUST post warnings, I just would hope that the author realizes that, in fanfiction, stories without warnings like that will make some of us very unhappy- and possibly poison us against ever reading anything that author writes. And the one author who wrote back to me, stating that she never put warnings on her fic because she felt that it gave away plot points, struck me as being an idiot for thinking fanfiction should be held to those standards. But, as I said, I simply put her on my "never read her" list.
