A Very Bad Idea

[squeequeg]

So aside from some short story work (one of which appears to have gotten its gears locked or something and makes unpleasant grindy noises whenever I look at it), I've got a little time on my hands after finishing the Crappy First Draft of the new novel. And the more I think about it, the more I realize I don't know what to do with it.

But that's all right! The Interwebs knows everything!

So in the interest of getting Internet Hlep* for the revision, I've decided to put together a little poll. Results will be tabulated, considered in the light of a second reread, and composted. Be warned: questions may have little to no relation to the actual text.

[Poll #864381]



* Hlep: It's like help, but different.

Ah! The ticky boxes! I forgot the ticky box chapter!

I wonder if you could tell a story in poll form.

I think I was a little unclear (how could that be so? :)

IMRAPOTATACWODT*, surveys should generally avoid using radio buttons and instead use checkboxes, because one answer is often not sufficent to sum up the survey-taker's ideal response to the question.

Not that I have anythign against a chapter or six on ticky-boxes. Some of my best friends are ticky boxes...

Ah, I see. I guess my authoritarian drive to force arbitrary categorization of answers just got the better of me.

Does the role come with a hat?
