And there it is...

I am very sorry for the confusion, but using the list that had the most support was the intention. Hopefully we can work it out if it does end up winning. That is the reason I didn't vote for this list, I would rather re-vote on everything and have a chance to get rid of the ones I don't care for (specifically the romance and humor for me) than keep them just because I made an assumption that "everyone else wants them still". |

However, "historical fiction" was to go in, I think humor would be the best place to be replaced. |

You edited after I had started my response earlier, so here are some further comments w/ your edit.
Quote:
When this was first pointed out, I sent a PM to WT Sharpe asking if we can reset the vote and start over since I knew this would be an issue. It doesn't sound like it is possible. If there is a way to reset the voting and add another choice I would be all for that. It sounds like we could re-write a question, but that wouldn't really help either, so since it doesn't sound like we can reset it at this point, I would prefer to keep it as now written which is what had been intended and then have a roll-call or run-off to decide which option option wins. Like I said, I really hope a different option wins; partly because of my mistake here and not wanting to have to deal with this and partly because I really want to have a chance to get rid of a couple categories that I don't care for. |

Your previous comment here was along the lines of "we can see how to fit historical fiction in if this option wins", which I agree with and seems to be something that would work too. |

IMO, I would like the categories names to be fixed (and some sort of idea of what the category means) at the time of the poll. I don't care much about the order of categories. I say we we use post 46 for D; it seemed to be the established list at the time of vote.
I dislike the loosey goosey approach to category determination. IMO, If Dazrin is fed up with the current poll, that's fine and we can reset. If Dazarin or WTSharpe doesn't want to run a new poll, I volunteer; but I warn you, you may not like what you get. |

And by the voting I see that I am the contrarian.

I wasn't sure how to name these categories, I would have liked more succinct names, but didn't know what to use. Hopefully the descriptions, links, and lists in the OP are adequate. We are using post 46 for item D since that is the one that had most agreement during the discussion, but since I goofed up, we may need to clarify one category afterwards. I was thinking that I could check with everyone who voted for it and see if there is a clear majority one way or the other. Or else we can use Jon's suggestion to replace a different category. Not really fed up with the poll, more mad at myself for the mistake I made since I understand Jon's concern about being disenfranchised, but also understand the other side where the list that more people supported had a different category that I originally posted.

If my list wins, we will figure out where to put historical fiction. So don't worry about it.
