OT - Poll

[leavethesky]

cheyne55's comment to my rec of her fic got me wondering...why the hell do you people read the fics I rec? Do you really or is it that just the perception? Why do you read fic at all? And what's important to you in a fic? Thus, my first ever, hastily put-together poll that probably won't tell me anything, but it's worth a shot. Feel free to expand in comments. Thanks.

How did I know that the smut quotient would be critical for you? :)

I'm transparently shallow?

Is the Harry Potter h8 because of the fandom, the source material, the characters, the underage squick...or something else entirely? Just curious.

I honestly don't hate HP, although my post probably made it sound like I do. It's just.. for some reason, it doesn't appeal to me on a fannish level. I like the movies but not in the same way I do The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's not the crazy-ass fandom because I'm so far removed, aside from the postings on Fandom_Wank, it barely registers on my radar. It's not the underaged characters because I can think of other programs with young/teenaged characters that interest me.

Hrmm. If I had to narrow it down, I'd say it's the whole 'wizards in training' aspect. I like fantasy but, I guess, I'm more swords and sorcery as opposed to magics and wizards.
