Good idea? Bad idea?

Okay, so, here's a fact. Sometimes I have ideas and I have no idea whether they are good ideas or bad ideas. Like fight-racing. Or hot dog soup. Or, instead of whoring myself for comments, posting a poll at the end of a fic.

I was thinking about it because of some fandom secret that turned up the other day. I really like getting comments, but as a reader I can understand the difficulty in leaving them sometimes. So I was thinking that for some reason people tend to vote in polls even when they don't comment, so why not use them as a review system for fic?

I whipped up this sample based on the most common comments I've received on my latest fic. That way people can check all the responses that apply and still leave a more in-depth review if they feel like it.

[Poll #1485612]

So, what do you think? Is this idea awesome or is it the lamest lame that ever lamed?

I also want to know how to make hot dog soup!

I sometimes have trouble commenting, so a poll might be fun and different. I want to be able to still comment if I really have specific things to say. If all else fails, though, I use my special fic icon as seen here :)
