( five glimpses through the looking glass )

Curious Sholio is curious

Hmm, so in light of some discussion elsewhere ... a poll!

I had always thought that "pairing" was a fairly straightforward and commonly accepted fannish term that most people define similarly, and it was a little startling to me to realize that there actually is a lot of variation in the way that individuals use it. (Heck, even the way *I* define it is a little more flexible than I'd realized -- there are some situations that I always thought were pretty clear-cut, but the more I think about it, the more I'm not sure.) So now I'm curious if there is a general consensus.

The poll is set so that only I can see who gave which answers.

( TRIGGER WARNING: Some of the questions reference sexual assault and most are slightly NSFW, so the poll is under a cut )

This poll also exists on LJ.
