A silly, pointless poll.

[BlackShanglan]

Thanks for playing.

With nothing else to go by, such as the lil description next to the story, I couldn't tell you which I would think of first. It'd prolly depend on my mood.

Sad, isn't it? How people will participate in something even though they've been warned that it's silly and pointless? People these days!

God bless them


Minsue: For description I'm thinking something like "Love and the last taboo." It's "that" story; pondering the title.

(Not, mind you, that I am sure it will matter. They may well decide not to post.)

Yeah, people who do that are total losers!!!

So anyway, I voted for "Both."

Thanks, Q_C. All of the best sorts are losers of one variety or another. Outright winners tend to be ruthless, smug bastards.

I voted for "Will power..."

The title also says "strength" (as in physical, not just mental) to me. Couldn't even begin to explain why!

Utterly delighted. *purr*

Thanks Lou, I was very much hoping for something like that to come through.

Done editing then?

Done editing then?

Done the big one that pulled 15% of the length. Still polishing a handful of scenes and wordchoices. I think it's got one more sweep coming, but I'm hoping perhaps by the end of the week.

Bit nervous now. I've been dodging the issue of whether they will post; looks like I will be running smack into it at last.

If you call your next story "Will", I will correctly assume it has lots of Willies in it.

"Will" doesn't make me think of will power, by the way. My first reaction was that it was a name: I picture a public schoolboy with oversize ears and narrow eyes, wearing his pink and black school cap. He has grubby knees from having made a bish of a tackle in rugger. He is a bit of a fool, but muddles through anyhow.

If they decline, we'll all be the lesser for it.

(the pup does look amazingly comfy and relaxed considering how precarious the position, doesn't he? )

No option for flogged songbirds?

 

[NoJo]

Shanglan, I do mind if you shoot yourself. I mind a lot. You still have a huge backlog of feedback to give me on my current eight stories.

 

[Guest]

Made me think of Der Ring des Nibelungen, you know, cos of Schopenhauer's influence on Wagner.

And Perdita twists the dagger exquisitely.

Trade you for a good thorough edit on this one It's 36,000 words.

Perdita does nearly everything exquisitely.

Never encountered the concept. Care to explain?

 

[Colleen Thomas]

I would think of a will, like last will & testament. the concept is pretty popular as a point of crisis in stories.

 

[minsue]

Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one lost on that one.

How are you submitting it? Assuming it's a Literotica piece?
