It's time for a POLL!

[eldritchhobbit]

Where did the weeks go? Time is flying by, and October will be here before we know it! I have an action-packed semester before me, so I'd like to plan ahead and ask your opinion, if I may.

FYI, for those of you who don't know, for the last nine years I've had a tradition of turning this blog -- the posts of which also run on Goodreads, Amazon, and Twitter -- into a month-long celebration of Halloween, posting a "spooky post" every day in October. You can see my past October posts here.

(Important Note: If you can't vote via the ticky-boxes, you're more than welcome to leave a comment!)

Many thanks for your input.

[x] Your Hallowe'en posts are one of the best things about October

I am completely unhelpful with these, because I always tick ALL THE BOXES. Except the "No" and "Other" ones.

Lovecraftian mash-ups

Clark Ashton Smith stuff

short book reviews of Horror anthologies

I've also been little help because I ticked pretty much all yes please! boxes except "Other" - and then it occurred to me that one thing I've particularly liked over the years (really, years?!) has been your posts with pictures and stories of real places that are linked somehow to halloween-esque happenings. So I shall say those too. *g* And thank you for thinking about posting again - it's such a fun part of my flist every year! *g*

You could invite your readers to submit creepy stories, poems or artwork.

I love your Halloween posts! It's how I found you originally. I wish I could remember who recommended you!

And as always, feel free to use any of my photos! :)

Yea, it's that time again! ( as she dusts off her Halloween icons.)

Just a side note, I watched your event The Jedi, the Cowboy, and… Thomas Edison?: Pulp Science Fiction and Star Wars. It was great! Very interesting, very informative. Thanks for making it available.

I keep getting sad because summer is ending and then happy because October is coming up.

It's no longer fully Halloween without your monthly countdown. I eagerly look forward to it every year. Please continue with it, and then on Nov 1 I will once again let you know where I've been holding your family hostage ;)

I look forward to your posts so much each year! My favorites are viewing and reading recs, but I also love polls, excerpts, images, and everything and anything else you care to post!!! :D

*hugs*

You are brilliant. Thanks so much. Will do. You're my go-to photographer for the season! :) I'll be sure to credit you. I especially love that one you've made into your icon there: perfect sense of motion and spookiness. I really appreciate your letting me use your gorgeous pictures!

An October without your countdown posts is no October at all! That's my dignified way of saying it. My true feelings are OMG DR. STURGIS I LOVE YOUR HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN SO MUCH I WOULD JUST DIE IF YOU STOPPED DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
