I didn't respond to the last part of the poll because my reasoning goes beyond being read ... I want to be published by someone who accepts the story for what it is rather than someone willing to mold it to fit a specific target market or whatever. And money? If I were to get the equivalent of my current job's one year salary on my first book, that would be awesome - because I could at least justify quitting my job to write full time for a year ;)

If you have not already, I suggest you read this (http://kriswrites.com/2011/02/03/the-business-rusch-beginning-writers-changing-times-part-16/)

That said, your reasoning is pretty much what I was referring to in the poll. To be read...as I have written..sic.
