Democracy gone wild!
Apr. 29th, 2008 11:15 amOK! So I'm putting up a second poll for community name, because there was very little consensus and there were some great write-ins in the comments and I personally suck at titling things so I want as much community feedback as possible on this. Technically, original_slavery is tied as the winner of the poll vote for community name with, um, macs_minions, but I'm pretty sure at least some of y'all were kidding about that last one. You know, like I was kidding when I put it in as an option. :P
I am not putting ALL the write-ins as options in this second (and hopefully final) poll, simply because I want to get this community created sometime this week. Orig_slavefic (suggested by
morgan_cian) got a lot of support in the comments, and I also really like slave_fiction (suggested by
shadowsonthesun, along with nonfan_slavefic and author_slavefic, but I like slave_fiction best). Alternatively,
rose_in_texas' suggestion, chainfic, is a bit less "mundane." I also liked the suggestions of slavetolove (
thirdsouthobbi) and oc_slavefic (
nicky69), but am not putting either of them as options in the new poll, for the respective reasons that not all the slavery we write about may be loving and that "OC slavefic" might be mistakable, not only for fic involving Seth Cohen as a slave to Marissa Cooper, but for fanfiction that involves an original character, like my Wonder Girl fic with Ian, not original fiction altogether.
Also, it was sort of a run-off between votes for various types of moderation and for no moderation at all-- that is, no moderation won, but not by more than votes for the various types of moderation combined. I'm not putting that very well, but hopefully you see what I mean. But of the types of moderation, moderated posting seemed to be the favorite. Bear in mind that whatever we do can be changed later if it starts causing trouble.
So!
[Poll #1179699]
After it looks like most people who've been voting all along have voted here, I will probably go ahead and create the community and start drafting userinfo and community guidelines. Please, please keep the chatter and thoughts and discussion of what we want out of this community coming! I haven't had a chance to respond to comments on the last entry, but I've been reading them very intently, and I love how enthusiastic and creative people are being. I'm really excited about having a community of our own where we can all get to know each other better and share the original slavefic love.
Also, speaking of not having a chance to do everything I'd like to, any intrepid souls out there want to volunteer to be myhired goons loyal henchpeople community co-mods?
