Poll: Pairings

  • May. 15th, 2010 at 10:59 AM
(First time posting a poll -- this might take a few edits.)

One of the goals here at Epic Recs is to continually improve the comm to make it more a more functional, fun, and entertaining place. Thus, as part of Recapalooza we'll be tossing out a few polls as well as a survey (coming soon). Hopefully we'll learn something new and exciting that will result in positive changes to the community as a whole.

ETA: Of course, I managed a typo in the very first poll and of course you can't actually edit them. Thus a clarification: for the first question, it should be which pairing(s) do you read most often and/or are you most interested in. More than one response is acceptable (even encouraged!)

[Poll #1564679]

I love the slash, but I'd definitely welcome more het, gen, and femslash if they have good characterization and are very long. (that's the main factor that draws me to this rec community vs. all the others -- I hate combing through rec lists to find the long ones. So the less short fic, the better. other than that, I just want to be served up good stories.) *g*

p.s. and I feel like het pregnant fic should have a warning just like mpreg does--but that's just me. LOL.

Thanks for all your hard work on this comm!

Amen. I actually started Epic Recs after a particularly frustrating day of combing through rec comms, none of which actually included *length* in any of the information they offered. Plus, I see vastly more recs for short stories than long out there; I don't know if it's because other reccers honestly prefer really short fic or if it's because it's much easier to invest five minutes to rec a tiny fic than five hours to rec an epic. At any rate, I feel your pain:)

I can't speak for the other reccers, but I'm making an active effort to read more gen and het (I've always been up for femmeslash, but finding long femmeslash is like finding a needle in a field of haystacks). Thus you should see more of both soon.

(And I agree re: pregnancy; I warn for it myself.)
