Filtered Urine v Cum Crepes Poll
[poll id="123"] This poll comes to us via Jill Myles who twittered a new discovery from Lulu.com. In a remarkably well put together copy is a collection of recipes featuring food made with semen. After some twitter speculation, I wondered whether people would be more interested in the drinking water from urine that NASA has recently(…)Nov 26 2008
In Regards to Series Poll
[poll id="122"] First, let me apologize for not putting up another poll for so long. I kept meaning to put up another one but kept putting it off because I couldn’t think of a good poll topic (if you have one, let me know – jane at dearauthor.com). Second, what do you think of series(…)Nov 17 2008

Favorite Tropes

Physical Violence Poll

Voting Thread
[poll id="116"] It’s hard to believe that election day is finally here. For months, nothing has been more prominent in my mind and my reading than this election. I feel so blessed to not only have the opportunity to vote, but to have cast my ballot for Obama via mail two weeks ago. I(…)Oct 30 2008
Author Bios Poll
[poll id="113"] Nearly every author has a biography in their book. Does that make a difference to you? I’ve got my thoughts on that and I’ll be talking about that on Tuesday. Let me know your thoughts. Send to KindleOct 27 2008
An Aggregate Site for Reviews Wanted
[poll=111] Some people see a need for an aggregate review site for all books, particularly digital and POD titles. While this would be a great service to a reader, the question is who would edit and maintain such a site and how would the contributors be compensated? Send to KindleOct 22 2008
Guest Opinion Poll
[poll id="110"] I invited Joey Hill a while back to do a guest opinion on the Male Submissive, a trope which I think she might write better than anyone else. I held it so that it could serve as a promotional bit for her November release, Mermaid’s Kiss. I’m thinking of soliciting other “guest opinions”(…)Oct 20 2008
