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.

Totally contradictorally, I hate warnings for death but always include them, because fandom as a whole has a preference for them. Personally, I don't mind deathfic as a rule. I dislike badfic. I like well-written fic. I don't like spoilers and don't watch previews or read blurbs on the back of books for the same reason. But I just tend to skip the warnings/summary on fics. Not a problem. And I know other people have problems with char. death so... I warn.
