Unhang the Cliff![ 37 vote(s) ]
1.Yes, post that teaser! I'm dying here! 18 / 49%
2.No! The suspense is killing me but I can take it! 12 / 32%
3.To heck with Wallflower, bring on Loophole! 7 / 19%

Hey Gang, got some heads up here and I thought a poll might be the way to clear things up.

Here's the deal:

I have Lily 3 A Wellspring of Sorrows plotted out and even quite a bit of it done. Most importantly as far as folks here are concerned, I have the section that explains what's going on with Lily's Power done.

Here's the problem. Lily is being very petulant with me. I've sat down and tried to write, even gotten some pages done, but it's like pulling teeth and I'm honestly worried about quality. Loophole 2 The Case of the Poisonous Patent, on the other hand is beating the back of my eyeballs. Five new pages on it alone last night.

Sad

So, here's the question. Would you guy's like me to post a teaser of Wellspring so the cliff hanger isn't quite so bad or just keep trudging along and post the whole thing when it's done?

Let me know and thanks for your patience.

E

I won't vote with some more info. Namely, is the teaser you are considering posting an *important* reveal? Meaning, do you feel that revealing this element will subtract a big part of the new content of the story?

I don't think so. The section I would post would pick up immediately where The Plays' The Thing left off and what Lily learned about her power there after. This would basically be the first 5-6 pages of the story. I don't even think this section would tease about the rest of the story, tho a certain mysterious stranger may arrive...

Does that help?

I have no real preference either way; although I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that I love me some cliffhangers...

I prefer to wait until the author is finished with a story. I'll see it when you're done, not before.

I'm definitely in the wait-for-full-story camp here.

Waiting for a full story would be better, than getting a Teaser, and then waiting for months (or years) for the rest because Lily Muse has settled down for a full-blown sit-down strike.

Remember we got that Teaser concerning the feud (or possible feud) between Sara & Jobe, but nothing since, which has left us all confused Big Mad

Though it has generated alot of speculation. Smile

Uh huh. How does the phrase go? Oh yeah, "Evil, a growth industry!"

It's not "Evil is a growth industry"

It's closer to

"Evil, We're Always Hiring!"

They're referring to Order of the Stick (see my avatar, though it is a bit blurry).

Ok, the voting is done and the answer in. I'll be posting a teaser later this evening.

And I must same I'm very flattered a fair number of you are so taken with Loophole! In the for what it's worth department I was able to negotiate a bit of a cease fire with Lily (the fact that Loophole is so popular probably helped... Smile ) so that page count is growing.

As of now:

A well spring of sorrows (Lily 3) 21 Pages plus 1 page of notes (Story completely plotted) Currently approximately 1/3 done

The Case of the Poisonous Patent (Loophole 2) 22 pages, story plotted, no notes. Currently approximately 1/4 done.

Wish me luck. I haven't had a weekend to myself this year so far or these would both be much further along. Curses to my mom and her move from HELL!!!

Sigh, I'm in my happy place...
