Reason for poll:
I have a dream. This dream is to write an orig-novel. At the moment, my problem is that I can't fix on one plot bunny. Plot ideas whirl around. Some of the above have been written up as nanowrimos, others have been started, others exist in fanfic form in huge ringbinders, yet others exist in thousands of words of orig draft.
I listed all my plot bunnies, with the help of the wonderful software of Scrivener, and extracted the above for polling. I also did a feedback diagnosis (statistics only, not substance of feedback). I listed my top ten fics (that got the most feedback) and then ranked these fic in my order of preference, and then diagnosed the characteristics of the top 4 fics. The characteristics are:
Atmosphere; choice; lyrical/fantasy; strong voice; dialogue; long + involved; tension (Spannung); 3rd person past; mixed 3rd person past/3rd person present/1st person.
Also: reconciliation; recognition; humour; details; vocab; physical; 1st person past.
Can I make these into a recipe? *headpalms*
Next, I will diagnose what feedbackers themselves wrote. Anal navel gazing rules.
