well, i've got a couple of admissions to make...

first, i haven't been commenting there, either. for a combination of reasons (even though i didn't vote in the poll). some of the stories i commented on the first time, and haven't commented on again (which is an option i realized i'd left out of the poll just after i'd posted it). sometimes i don't read things because i'm too busy with everything else. some things i haven't commented on because they just weren't to my taste. i love sci-fi and fantasy in general, but i don't like everything in those genres. never cared for tolkien, for example. certain stories will do that, too... isaac asimov is one of my favorite writers, but i never really liked "fantastic voyage."

second, as some of you may have guessed, i had an ulterior motive for posting this poll. i was trolling for readers. laugh seems to have worked, too. smile so, glad the poll was a success in that area.

so, anyway, thanks for your responses.

off to catch up with the rest of the boards. smile

When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
