Interest polls -- please take!

[nqdonne]

Hello everyone! While Tara and I had every intention of doing a general interest poll to get an early estimation on numbers, people seem to be particularly anxious, so better to do it earlier rather than later. To give you and us a better sense of numbers, here are two polls -- please fill them out! Once we see the projected numbers we can do a

Sorry about filling the first one. Is there a way I can delete my votes from there?

As for participation, it depends on the other fests and the timeline for this and the others.

I think you can just click "fill out poll" again and maybe void your answers? *thinks*

[khateh]

Tried, but because they're radio buttons, i can't delete them. Sorry about this.

I was surprised that you posted so soon after the other one and anxious to vote that I messed it up ^_^

[snottygrrl]

nope, you can't because i filled out the poll thinking i must be eligable, but it appears you don't think so. i went and tried just that, a bit embarrassed that i must not be considered in good standing since i certainly have participated. no go. you can just ignore my answers.

I have a strong desire to sign up, but I want to make sure that I don't have any RL commitments on the horizon that could interfere before I commit.

i'm in limbo, because i really want to get into the lottery and (hopefully be able to) participate again. that way i'll have the two fests under my belt and not have to worry about being in the lottery next time...but, i'm so nervous that RL will mess with me like it did before. and i really don't want that pressure. not just on myself, but on you as well. :D

ohhhh...what to do, what to do...

There's still plenty of time to decide! Just put yourself down as a maybe, and make your final decision in August. This is just to get general numbers (especially from the reserved contenders) so I can put a more firm cap number out there, to alleviate people's worries :)

[empress_jae]

oh yeah! i know i've got plenty of time to decide, and i did click the maybe box, but...it's just me...giving myself something new to stress about. :D

oh and p.s...i really do think the new format is a good idea and fair! i just need to figure out what the hell i'm gonna do. :D

Sorry I can't be definite at this point! :-(

I polled as definitely participating. Practically the only time I write anymore is when I've committed to this fest, so I wouldn't miss it for the world.

You guys rock for being sensitive to the feelings of the masses. I think everyone understands what you're trying to do and why. They're just disappointed at the idea of being left out. Maybe this will be reassuring for those who have to go through the lottery.
