Using Polls for Feedback on Fic

EDITED TO ADD: I went back and found the link to the post that made me decide to try this in the first place: I wish that writers left polls at the end of their work by [livejournal.com profile] gaudinight.

Before I start rambling, allow me to state that nothing I have to say is at all definitive or even remotely scientific. While I pretty much fail at research methods forever, at least I can offer a few reasons why:

  1. I do not always remember to include polls.
  2. My polling options are not always consistent.
  3. My polling options are quite often silly (i.e. remember that time [livejournal.com profile] metafandom told me I was good-looking?).


Still, while it might not be useful to examine the results I've gotten so far by using feedback polls, it's certainly interesting, and perhaps someone with a better mind for this sort of thing can take the ball and run with it, so to speak. )
