Apathy Books research poll

[active_apathy]

It's waaay past time I did something about getting apathy_books working properly. So, there's a moderately monstrous poll behind the cut.

It'll go toward defining how posts will work, and it'll help make a post template, and it'll help with tagging entries for users to find. So...

EDIT: Apparently, I did miss something. The questions about formatting of names, subjects, genres and such are for the tags, because it's important that they look the same. For the item itself, things like author/creator name should appear as they do on the item. It's why those three questions follow the one about tagging, but I probably should have made it clearer.

[Poll #932847]

And... yes, the options for question one are essentially just bits of a level two ISBD description of an item. But, that's kind of what it's designed for.

For all the semi-monstrousness of the poll, there's probably things I've missed; please, if you notice something, mention it.

Seconded. Direct order is for reading, inverted order is for indexing and reference.

And the cakes/bullets/death rays/boobs/narrow 'S' capes/swords/knives/tentacles/etc... I'd call that simply "points" with reviewer flavour added on.

I mean, I recently read a mystery/crime story, fairly (but not predominantly) police procedural... and there was not a single shot fired "on screen" in the whole story - the only shot was off-screen, where an incompetent hunter shot himself in the foot, and it served as a reason for a doctor to go to a specific location, nothing more. One guy's gun got mentioned twice, but never fired. So bullets wouldn't be an appropriate measure for that, while they are for many other crime stories. Etc etc.

Those few questions were meant for tags and memories and such - the things that give access to the posts.
