Poll: General Fund for the January 24, 2017 Poetry Fishbowl

The general fund currently contains $45.  Everyone is eligible to vote in this poll.  I will keep it open at least until Tuesday night. If there's a clear answer then, I'll close it.  Otherwise I may keep it open a little longer.


Unsold poems have been listed, if you want to read thumbnails.  There is one $5 poem left, "owl feathers."  There are five $10 poems left: "Changing Your Nature," "Not So Black," "The Smell of Purple," "Violet Surprises," and "weather painting."  There are two $15 poems left: "Biospheric Conditions" and "Into a Relationship."  There are two $20 poems left: "Fantastic Adaptations" and "Leaves Upon the Water."

EDIT: "Into a Relationship" has been sponsored.  Technoshaman wants to sponsor "Biospheric Conditions" and "weather painting." starcat_jewel plans to sponsor "The Smell of Purple" and "Fantastic Adaptations" if those don't score high enough to get posted.

There is also one open epic, "A Hope and a Promise."  It belongs to Polychrome Heroics and needs $182 to be complete.

The first question in the poll asks about distribution of funds between sub-epic and epic categories.  Because there are so many sub-epics, I'm putting up a checkbox question where you can indicate which ones you would most like to see published.  Vote for as many as you like there, but preferably not all of them, to help show which are most popular.

I plan to sponsor "The Smell of Purple" and "Fantastic Adaptations" if they don't make the cut here, so people might want to take that into account when voting.

Both of those were among the most popular poems, and sponsored.

:-( Unfortunately, I don't recognize the names of the sub-epics. Are links possible, or too much trouble? Or an index page?

There should be a link where it says "unsold poems" -- is that not working?

Ahhh. I think I misunderstood "sub-epics". I was thinking of individual parts of larger stories, threads or singles, say in Polychrome Heroics. But it seems that you meant "poems of smaller than epic size". Hm?

Sub-epics = poems up to 60 lines inclusive.

Epics = poems 61 lines or more.

Serial poems = ones that form part of a storyline or setting.

Ah, your own classification. OK, that's fine, I just didn't know about it.

Mm, I'd expect "serial poems" to be multipart poems, regardless of setting.
