I think this is the first time I've actually used the poll function. Hmm... Anyway, as previously mentioned I've been poking at my website, updating here and there and then I looked at my menus and thought that they were rather informationally bare. So help me out here, I wanna know what you think. After you vote I order you to comment. Now, on with the poll!
[Poll #1365542]
Ok, now that you've voted, comment! Please? There's cookies in it for you ♥
P.S. Should the labels be in the description, in the fic header, or both?

Pairing is quite crucial but it's just basic courtesy to mention, ya know... since people ship different things.
Oh, also... in slash fiction I'm grateful to know beforehand who's the bottom in the relationship (if it isn't an equal one). Depending on the pairing it can save me a lot of time and frustration since sometimes I have my own ideas about the ideal dynamics and can't get into a story that mixes it up, no matter how well it's written.
I hope this rant is useful in some way.:S

Date: 2009-03-15 12:49 am (UTC)Pairings are important too - not because I care about seme/uke, but because there's a pairing I will do my best to avoid.
A poor summary will keep me from reading a story, especially if it contains poor grammar and/or spelling.

Date: 2009-03-16 03:37 pm (UTC)Pairings, Warnings and Summaries tend to be important to me. Pairings because there are ones I avoid like the plague; warnings because there are weird ass fetishes I avoid like the plague (though sometimes the warnings do serve to entice me into a story); and summaries mostly cause I like an idea of the setting. Also, I like knowing the genre of a fic for the same reasons I like knowing the warnings. I'm sick and tired of angst and I want to avoid it like the plague. XD Though if the summary covers most of this, than the header doesn't really need to be too long.
