Posting Unfinished Stories - The Poll
Feb. 21st, 2012 02:04 amThere are stories on my harddrive that I will never finish. Many of them are just fragments; some are too embarrassing to ever be allowed to see the light of day. The latter category includes my first foray into slash, which took place in Star Trek: Voyager fandom (I went the extra mile to include every tired ST:V slash cliché I could buy, steal or borrow). This category also includes a JE AU that is probably the single most wrong thing I have ever written (and I hadn't even gotten to the sex yet).
But! There are also partly-written stories based on ideas that I still find very interesting, and for which I've already written quite a bit of text that I like.
I've been wondering if I should post these stories as exactly what they are: incomplete stories that never will be finished, but that some readers might be interested in despite their fragmentary state. And I thought I'd ask you, gentle readers, how you feel about this kind of thing. So: poll time.
I can't post polls on Dreamwidth, so if you could pop over to this post on LJ to check your answer in the poll there, I would very much appreciate it! Alternately, of course, commenting here with your opinion is also good. :-)
(Does anyone know what happened to
metafandom, by the way? Is there a DW alternative or some such?)
