This is a multiple choice poll. There is no right or wrong answer. I know that the worst offenders won’t participate in the poll. This is not intended to be scientific or comprehensive. It is intended to make you think as you create your next story. This is not legally binding.

The poll will close one minute after midnight New Year’s Day (whatever time zone the polling software uses).
 

Let the arguments and disputes commence!

Due to the conflicting nature of interpreting inclusion versus exclusion of themes in writing with this poll, the FMT have removed all the comments from this topic and locked it. The poll, and responses, have been left attached to this topic for authors who chose to take part in order to use their answers for reflection during 2020. We hope our site authors will enjoy writing and posting on the site, in all genres, styles, and themes, this year.
