Story angst

Briefly:

1. OK, fess up: which one of you was driving the red car in my neighborhood with the license plate “FANFIC”?

2. My husband sends notes to our kids, for future reference. Recently: “Dear Rivkid, It was very progressive of you to request ‘King & King,’ the same-sex-marriage fairy tale, for your bedtime story tonight. It would have been even more progressive had you not referred to the book as ‘The Two Queens.’”

But most importantly: I love feedback. I want to make it as likely as possible that people will leave feedback on my stories. So, what to do about crossposting? This is my first use of DW's poll feature, for a Very Important Poll.

Should I consolidate comments on story posts?

Stay unconsolidated! For me, that creates the lowest psychological barrier to commenting on a story.

Comment counts matter to whether I read a story post; thus, consolidation would be a good idea.

Comment counts matter to whether I read a story post but I’m not reading on DW; thus, don’t consolidate to DW until the crossposter can display the number of comments.

I like reading other people’s comments; thus, consolidation would be a good idea.

Some other thing that I will tell you in (presently unconsolidated, though you have to answer the poll on DW) comments.

This got way too long for a comment, but the request was for Sam/Castiel, and I completely agree that there can never be enough Sam/Castiel.
