Since our writing journal has a basic account and hence doesn't have the possibility to post polls, I decided to post the poll in my journal and then link to it from [livejournal.com profile] rabenhorst. So, my flist, anyone who isn't interested in the fic in question, just scroll over this, thank you^^




So as some of you might know, our currently ongoing fic Worlds Collide is going to have multiple different endings. The first five chapters the story will develop just like any other story we've written, but then we have a total of three different versions of the sixth (=final) chapter. The first and the second ending are a little shorter than an average chapter, and the third one is as long as our chapters usually are. We are going to post all of those, all the three alternate endings, but the question is; how?

We came to the conclusion that we'll ask the readers about it, to know what they think. So, do you want us to post all the three chapters at once, that is make three posts in [livejournal.com profile] rabenhorst as soon as all of the three are edited and ready to be posted? OR do you want us to post first one of the endings, then post the second ending the following day and the third ending on the third day? Or is there some other way you want it?

Now is your chance to get your voice heard! Simply answer the poll below, and we will see which option gets more votes. You're also welcome to tell your opinions and views on the thing in comments if you wish. We really appreciate all the received input! And remember, this way you get to affect how things are done ;)


[Poll #1260677]

Thank you for your time!

 
 
mood: bouncy

Voted. >D
Anyway, if you wanna make a poll in [livejournal.com profile] rabenhorst, why don't you just use pollhost.com instead of the livejournal feature? It's what I used before lj even had a feature like this. ^^
Over and out. *salutes*

Thank you!

Oh, I didn't even know that something like that existed XD Thanks for pointing it out though, maybe we can use it the next time we need its services XD

voted!XDDDD

I'm gonna read the new chap now and then have a relaxing bath.^^

How are you doing, hun? I try to keep an eye on my f-list reguary, but fail miserably atm.

*hugs*
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on September 16th, 2008 06:49 pm (UTC)
Thank you!

I hope you enjoy it, and then relax nicely!^^

I'm doing pretty fine^^ Was a little stressed and overwhelmed earlier, but now I'm doing better and feel more at ease. And you? Things looking better?

*hugs back tight*
[identity profile] mog-fuyu.livejournal.com on September 17th, 2008 10:54 pm (UTC)
Welcome!^^
I hope you post the end soonish, because I really like the story so far and want to know what happens. Though I'm quite certain that no one will die, because as long as I know you, you've never done that. Unlike me, who killed Die in her latest story. >>

I enjoyed reading it a lot and the bath was so relaxing...*sighs*

That's good to hear. :) Makes me happy.
What happened?Oo Stress with your studies?
Not really. In fact I'm close to panicking every minute because I still don't have an appaarto and the department manager still didn't call me. So actually everything is out in the open still and only one week left. >>
I will post something and give a life sign tonight or latest tomorrow.

*huggles*
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on September 20th, 2008 02:08 pm (UTC)
I'm gonna post it today, hopefully soon, as soon as I get the whole thing ready to be posted XD haha, and I won't tell you anything in advance about the endings! x)

That's good! *hugs*

Yeah, mostly stress with the studies and I don't really know even why since it's not that hard yet. But well, I suppose it happens.

I really hope that everything'll work out for you! You so deserve it! *huggles*

But Napoleon is interesting^^ I still have a bio of him lying around which wants to be read :D
[identity profile] govi-chan.livejournal.com on September 18th, 2008 01:32 pm (UTC)
lol xD that may be truth but there are more interesting things to read . . liek. . FANFICS! XD
[identity profile] seinen-no.livejournal.com on September 18th, 2008 01:47 pm (UTC)
Haha, that's true. Especially smutty ones x)
[identity profile] scwolf-10k.livejournal.com on September 16th, 2008 11:22 pm (UTC)
haha of course it's me who needs to be different XDDD

anyway, I think you two should decide which version you think is the best ending for the story, and then you just post that version. ^_^ but that's just my opinion ^_^
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on September 20th, 2008 02:10 pm (UTC)
Thanks for your opinion! Very much appreciated^^ We're gonna do something like that in the end. Post one chapter and then link from it to the two others so people can decide if they wanna read 'em. Actually _I_ always read two of the endings, so I wanna give the opportunity to others too XD

Thank you!
[identity profile] hotarubi-39.livejournal.com on September 17th, 2008 01:30 pm (UTC)
My opinion;
if you post all three at once, it _are_ variatons.
otherwise it will feel like it are remakes because you just couldn't decide on which chapter you liked most.
Plus, then I can't pick the good ending (which there HAS to be) first >.<
And good work guys! You two are the best writers in the jrock_yaoi comm atm.
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on September 20th, 2008 02:11 pm (UTC)
Thank you so much! Glad to hear that^^ And we're going to post them all at once now, I hope you enjoy :D
[identity profile] lady-monochrome.livejournal.com on September 18th, 2008 03:03 am (UTC)

Personally I would feel like the story would stay inconclusive if you just post all three alternative endings at once. Like there's really not one true ending.

As someone mentioned before me, I believe that you should post the ending you believe fits the most for the conclusion of the story. ANd I mean the one that -fits most-, not the one you think we want to read, hit us with your raw writing genius! xD And then in the same post as the sixth chapter add links for the two other alternative endings. That way the story comes to an end and we still have the extra of -two- alternative endings to enjoy. Kinda like in a DVD movie xD hehe

Well see you in Chapter Six!
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on September 20th, 2008 02:14 pm (UTC)
We really liked your idea, and I wanted to thank you for leaving a comment! We're now going to post the chapters at once, but only post one as the 'real' ending and then the two as kind of extra endings. So I hope that it'll do, and it's close to what you intended with your idea^^ Hopefully you'll enjoy the end too! Thank you!
