Reminder

The finish-a-thon signups are still open! And since I probably won't actually start working on the poll-building until tomorrow morning, that gives you something like 23 hours left.

Good luck with the poll. That looks *really* time-consuming. I guess you'll have to condense summaries to fit? I think there's a poll sentence length-limit.

Oh, is there?
Maybe I could do it by having a separate poll for each author, and putting the descriptions just beforehand, and just making the poll be "choose 1, 2, ... or 10".
That would probably be easier anyway, because I could do more of it just cut-and-paste.

A separate poll for each author would be good because then people who want to could direct others to go to theirs and vote. :-)

Do you mean I should have separate posts as well? I wasn't intending to do that, just one big post -- assuming there isn't a post size-limit, is there?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

No, no, just separate polls in one post! I can give the URL of the poll for my stories in my LJ.

There is a size limit but I doubt you'd hit it. People have posted quite long stories here.

I've found that it's sometimes helpful to use the poll creator, and preview it, saving the coding as plain text, and then add bits by cut-and-paste when I update my journal. If there's no space in the form that will allow you the length necessary for the descriptive summaries, that might be a workable solution.
