FYI - so you don't have to waste time scrolling through the old posts and debates -
The two debates that triggered my polls:
1. Whether Joss's writing of the comics would really deprive fanfic writers of their audience because people who are into canon would only read if the fanfic followed what Whedon did in the comics. Not, whether it is canon, but more whether fanfic writers are justified in whining about Whedon continuing the story in comic form because it is costing them readers. And the degree to which the comics being canon truly matters in regards to how you read fanfic and write it?
2. Who primarily writes fanfic - men or women? And whether the illegality of fanfic (not the stuff authorized or in public domain of course) is silencing women's voices - because that is what they write? And finally, whether fanfic that is not sanctioned by the author/publisher or in public domain should be published for money?
What more or less triggered the polls...
