...because I am in just that kind of mood. Signups for A Ficathon Goes Into a Bar have gone up, and whereas I am almost certainly going to sign up (because I am a sucker for crossover prompts), I am, as always, awash with more ideas than I am legally allowed to have under the challenge rules.

So let's see if I have correctly understood how this poll thing is supposed to work. I do not promise to abide strictly by the results, but I will absolutely take them into consideration as I contemplate the direction in which to take my signup.
