A poll about YOU!!

[rivers_bend]

I have somehow ended up having a conversation about these topics with four different people in the last two days, so I decided it's time for a poll. Plus, POLL! What's not to love? Polls are FUN! I made it so no one can see who says what, so you can answer honestly, with no embarrassment, because I promise not to judge you, no matter what.

I know I used the dreaded radio buttons for some of the questions, but you can just answer with how you most often feel. (and if you're both and artist and a writer, or whatever, and the answers would be totally different, you can pick one medium if you want) It doesn't have to be for every time; I know there will always be outliers, and there is always space in the comments box if you want to explain. I have comments set to screened, but will reply (and thus unscreen) unless you say "keep screened" in your subject line or the comment itself.

What an interesting poll!

I answered with my graphics in mind, because I generally like the stuff I make, whereas writing and everything related to it pretty much traumatizes me, so in the end I gave it up. I clicked on "something else" for the last question: I wouldn't say I don't care about comments at all, but getting two or twenty doesn't make much difference to me. Making graphics is primarily a form of relaxation for me, but since I make mostly icons, I'm pretty sure I would stop posting them if I never got any comments and do other things, such as only making wallpapers for my own use or something because people using them is kind of the point of icons.

Wow, that was a convoluted paragraph. :)

You have made me think about how I feel about comments on the few icon posts I've made. And I think that I don't care about getting comments so much for them because I have decided that I am a poor icon maker, though I am getting better, and so if only one person comments, that doesn't rock my world view at all. And also, I make icons because I don't like to have the same icons as other people. So I am pretty much just making them for myself, and for the practice, and because, as you say, it's relaxing (though god knows why; it's the type of thing I usually hate). But I tend to write fic for other people's pleasure as well as my own.
