Homophobia WIP Poll

[out_there]

In January 2004, I started a fic that turned out to be far too long for my own good. It was the SN Homophobia WIP and is still in beta. However, I recently got a bit of feedback that left me questioning the title I'd chosen.

So, in the spirit of community input and avoiding personal responsibility, I made a poll.

You're no further forward for this, are you? Although mongooses are cute.

Summary? "Casey's not homophobic. Just a bit indecisive. Oh, and the Olympics happen."

"Casey's not homophobic. Just a bit indecisive. Oh, and the Olympics happen."

*giggles* Do not be surprised if I use that summary.

Use. That. It's perfect.

I haven't read it yet, because WIPs and I don't mix. (But why is it not finished yet? *pokes* *comes back later* Wait, so what happened last time? *re-reads* But why is it not finished yet? ... You get the picture.)
You can do a summary. I have faith. :) But if you want, I'll read it and have a go for you. I have practice. (And I never thought summarising would be a skill needed as a reccer. On reflection, I'm not sure why not, but I was young and innocent back then. Do you know how much I love you for putting summaries on your fics?)

You get the picture.)

Oh, yes, I understand. And considering how often I slip into either posting a section every couple of days (and considering each section was a few thousand words, that's quite a bit) or it gets left and not touched for months, I'm well aware of how annoying it can be.

Do you know how much I love you for putting summaries on your fics?

It just seemed like the thing that was done. So, when I started LJ-posting fics, I suddenly had to come up with summaries (which are not my strong point -- titles and summaries give me hives -- so I usually end up just quoting a pertinent line of dialogue).

All the same, if you want to read through it and try for a summary (at the moment, phoebesmum seems to have the best idea with the above suggestion), I'd love you dearly. Also, I could send you the MSWord file if you like since that's partly-beta'd (waiting on final beta, but most of the glaring errors are caught in that version). Just let me know your email, and it will be done.

I, too, do not read WIPs. But I am veeeery interested in them when they're finished. So I'm looking forward to that.

I, too, do not read WIPs.

I get that. I tend to be selective about the WIPs that I read. In other words, I only read WIPs by certain people on my FList that either:
a) I know will finish it, so it won't be left hanging, or
b) I know personally and am interested in any idea they're working on.

I find that when I read outside of those two reasons, I get burned by getting sucked in to something that never gets finished.

But, yeah. If I ever get it beta'd and polished, I will expect a cheery note of feedback from you. *g* (Or at least a smilie.)
