rivers_bend at 11:32pm on 21/10/2007 under pollMy f'list! I love you! So many of you answered the first part of my fandom poll. One of the things I learned is that without even knowing it, I was making assumptions about your fic habits. So, before I move on to part two (which is roughly, what keeps you reading a fic and what makes you shut the tab, after you've done the clicky thing), there are things I need to know. So please, ( clicky to partake in part 1a )
Summary of the first part: (bearing in mind this is hardly a rigorously scientific poll)
97% of you are more likely to click to open a fic if you've read and liked the author previously. This did not surprise me really.
3 of you said that you would be neither more nor less likely to read a fic if you hadn't liked the author's previous stuff. Which I assumed means you're giving second (or third...) chances.
the majority of people, if they've not heard of an author, give them even chances.
Over 60% of you are more likely to read a fic if the beta is someone whose fic you like.
but only 30% of you let not liking the beta's fic put you off.
If you hadn't heard of the beta, 95% of you didn't let that effect your decision.
90% of you consider author and pairing when deciding to read a fic, and 80% depend on the summary to help you decide.
I'm not the only one who squicks at wing!fic :D
Thank you again for taking part. and if you missed it, come play! I'm not very good with the thinky meta posts, but I'm loving the conversations this is generating.
*hugs you*
