Readers' Poll

[glassdarkly]

Hi everyone. Will be posting another chapter in a moment but in the meantime, I thought I'd put up that poll I mentioned doing, to check the status of the many people friended to this LJ who haven't commented. I've tried to keep the questions as neutral as possible. Hope I succeeded.

[Poll #903979]

I told you that I wasn't sure how I felt after I read the first part. I've talked to Kitty quite a bit about the story since she's following it and intend to dip in at a later time. I think part of my problem was you launched it when I was about to do Noel, so I had really no time for reading much of anything. I was reading everything there every day.

Anyway, I'm completely behind and I'm probably not very hip, but I'm going to probably splash here again, perhaps when you've just about closed up shop.

Are a lot of people reading and not commenting? Because of course when I read I always comment, so that won't be the case for me. And in a weird way I'm following it a little since Kitty is following it.

I'm not surprised you didn't feel like taking it on, Jan. It's very long and you were very busy.

Anyway, it'll still be here if you ever feel you want to give it another try.

Are a lot of people reading and not commenting?

I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out. Looking at the poll results so far, the majority who've signed up and not commented just haven't managed to get round to reading it yet. However, I'm sure lots of people haven't seen it yet.

Well, I read Furnitureverse almost when it was finished. I did comment on earlier bits a bit which I know is atypical when people catch up. I don't know what to say. If I'd been never going to read it and comment, I would have unfriended the community. I've always meant to come back again.

It could be the kink. Really, who knows. In Soapstone, I worked harder on the latest chapter and it got the least results. Also fb seems down lately. I can see people are reading but they aren't commenting as much.

I really can't figure things sometimes.

I dunno if this fic is much kinkier than Furnitureverse or Funeral Games. I guess the real difference is that the relationship between Spike and Wesley in those was consensual whereas here it very much isn't.

I was trying to see if I could write a proper slave fic but as usual, best laid plans etc

As for f/b being down in general, I don't post fic often enough to know really. It comes in waves and sadly has no bearing on how much work we've put into our writing.

Well, I *will* be reading it. It has bothered me not to be reading it. I hope you won't feel bad about things, love, for any reason. You are sharing your talent with us and it's very brave and I know what it's like to be out there taking risks.

I appreciate it very much and you.

Thanks for sharing your art.

Thank you, Jan, though really you're under no obligation.

And as far as sharing talent goes, you do the same and thank you for doing so.
