Emergency When Fangirls Attack Editorial Indecision Plan B

So Kalinara and I were talking about the latest couple of Gor posts. We were leery of including the first few, because the issue is not about anything in the comics medium, but a set of books put out by a comic book publisher. However, even those posts which spoke primarily about the books touched on the topic of comic books so we included them. Now we've rolled the snowman down the hill so to speak and its picking up bulk and running on a tangent. We reached a stalemate, and couldn't decide between the two of us whether to ride it out, even if it does sidetrack this blog, or drop the topic from our lists unless it specifically touches on comic books.

Kali and I are both fairly decisive people who can normally settle disagreements within a few hours. Granted, there is still the Hal and Kyle thing, but in the 474-post history of this blog matters pertaining to what was on-topic and what was not were very clear to us. This one, however, seems to be special.

So, we're pulling out our Emergency When Fangirls Attack Editorial Indecision Plan B (Plan A -- armwrestling -- was worthless in this matter because we can't do that over the internet), and polling our readers. (You feed and livejournal readers will have to come to the regular blog post to get a shot at the poll.) Do not comment asking us to list our baffling criteria, because you won't get a satisfying answer. Just make your own judgment based on what you've seen in this blog before.



[Edit: Poll erased because we've made our final decision. Thank you everyone who participated.]

And please remember, EWFAEI Plan B is only to be used in the event of an emergency.
