After experimenting with a spoiler-full discussion board on the GH website and asking various people for feedback about that, it is clear to me that I haven’t yet found a configuration that works. I’m trying to decide whether to scrap the idea all together, or to try something new.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Just<\/a>

Just another pole.<\/p><\/div>\n

I would like to have a place where people would feel comfortable asking questions about GH and my other novels, and more important still, where people might actually discuss the work. This is pretty self-serving, I’m happy to admit: it’s both useful and interesting to see how readers interpret what I write, what confuses them or works for them. \u00a0Of course the fact that it is a board that I set up means that some people won’t be comfortable voicing their opinions, no matter how clearly I say that I do not take offense at constructive criticism offered in a mutually respectful setting. \u00a0<\/p>\n

So you see my dilemma. \u00a0Thus we have yet another poll (a double one, this time) that I hope people will take a few moments to respond to. It would be a great help to me. You are welcome to make additional remarks in the comments, but that is by no means necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you chose the first answer in this\u00a0first poll, you’re finished — and thank you. If you chose the second or third, please go on to the next poll.<\/p>\n
