I voted, but I am as currious as mearrin69. If someone gets an overwhelming majority, will we see their name on a LPJ product?
Some of these people HAVE written for us already (Owen, Neil, Greg and Louis) while the remaining people have not. I am just wondering, who would people like to read their work at LPJ Design?

Most freelancers have a full-time job. The alternative is malnutrition. :)
Very much this! :)
The freelancing $ is a bonus to be used for whatever, like some of my GenCon expenses, buying a cow with my girlfriend (to be turned into tasty meat tommorow), artwork commissioned for my home campaign(s), and a very nice bottle of scotch. It's fun money to me, with my overworked and underpaid day job paying the mortgage and bills.

Amen to that, although I got a Paizo check recently that was for a couple of BIG projects that was as big as several of my regular paychecks put together. If you're doing a lot of freelance it can be substantial, but it'd be pretty hard to make a living at it.

Yep, me too! Well, not the cow part, that is, since I'm a vegetarian but ...
I tend to use my freelance pay to fund my gaming purchases. It's kind of like the freelancer's circle of life ;)

I have indeed written for LMPjr, though not recently. And I got exactly what was agreed upon, exactly when it was agreed upon, so I have no complaints.
While a lot of freelancers have other employment, not all do. I know of several, myself included, who are full-time freelance (though some of us have agreements to freelance a given amount for a given company). I've survived as a full-time freelancer for most of the past decade, with a brief stint at WotC, and another working for a bank, both approximately a year long.
While I don't know that LMPjr can get whoever wins the poll, most freelancers can be woo'd if the money is right. And if he wanted to spend that kind of money, I can see wanting some feedback on who'd be worth it.

This is kind of, I know people are VERY busy working, but I want to know who fans really enjoy reading. If the fans like that person, than I need to talk to them about work. The will of the fans is a POWERFUL motivator.
