Your opinion wanted

Hello there.

Well, it's fair to say that there's been a fair amount of thinking and perhaps not as much writing as I might like here in the past month or so. I've been tapping away at something new, which may or may not pan out, but has kept me interested. I've stalled on a couple of other things.

What I'm here for now, though, is a bit of research. Call it professional curiosity. On the right you should see a poll (unless you're looking at this post over a week from now; greetings, time traveller). Can you do me a favour and answer it? And leave any additional thoughts or comments you have under this post.

Oh, and just for the time travellers, here's the question: "In mask fiction, what sort of transformation do you prefer to read about?" Options being 'male to female', 'male to male', 'female to female', 'female to male', 'any, if it's right for the story' or 'all if at all possible'. So now even you can answer.

Let me know... vote today!

UPDATE: I moved the poll up top, as that way, you can see the results properly.

Thanks to those who voted so far!

Old poll, new poll

Very quickly in and out today. Don't look at me like that, I can totally go for a long time and you know it....

Thanks to all of you who voted on my identical polls here and on Maskingwriter - I appreciate knowing people's thoughts, and I always strive to improve. Here are the combined results:


So come on, who's the wiseass who voted for 'Poor'?? Nah seriously, if you didn't like it - sorry, but please let me know why. (Not accounting for general taste of course. There's plenty of fiction out there I'll never like despite how many masks might be in it.)

Of course with Issue #4 out that means the cycle begins again... so if you've read the issue feel free to give me some feedback in the poll on the right hand side of the main page, here.

Alright, off to work once more. Anyone with money want to be my patron??

New poll - SG #3 insta-feedback

Hey folks, I really appreciate the feedback I've had so far on Spider-Girl Issue #3 in comments and on email... but I'm interested to get more. Yes, I am that egomaniac.

So to make things easy if you don't want to write a long email or comment there's a new poll, sitting on the right hand site of the page. Vote and tell me what you thought of the story if you've read it. If you haven't, go read it at Maskingwriter already. Then come back and vote.

Of course, your thoughts, ideas etc are very welcome; if you haven't seen my comments in response to, erm, Anonymous' thoughts on Issue #3, you might want to read them... and also you can get a sneak peek at the story arcs coming up, too.

Issue #8 is being polished, btw. Issues 9-12 are plotted and next up. And Issue #4 will get released... soon.

First poll results

One more thing before work. So, arbitrarily, I decided to end the first poll today. Well, arbitrarily and also because I wanted to put a new poll up. Here's the results for those interested - click for a close-up:

Thanks to everyone who voted. To summarise the results real quick - a large portion of you are 'old school', having read Beneath the Veil waaaaay back when I first threw it on the web. Hey. How are ya. Great to see you again.

Pretty much everyone, in fact, had read BTV at some point before now, which I guess is good because it tells me I can't repeat old tricks!!

Welcome indeed though to you five complete virgins (ahem) who just read BTV for, I would guess, the first time on Maskingwriter. I hope you enjoyed, and that you stick around for more.

Oh and everyone? New poll's here.
