September Story Poll + A Surprise Extra!
🕑 Added 2024-08-14 03:50:32 +0000 UTC
Alright everyone! I said in the One Piece - Halfway Broken release post that I had a bit of a surprise for everyone ;-). That surprise is a new story concept! Now, don't worry, Eridium Dreams isn't going away. Mass Effect: Eridium Dreams is still slated to get an update the next time I have enough extra writing time to squeeze something extra in. At which time it will reappear in the polls. For now, however, Eridium Dreams has been by far the worst performer in the monthly polls. As a result, I decided to do something a little different for this month and next month!
Specifically, I'm releasing teasers for new story concepts! In order to give them an actual chance when stacked against existing stories, I've chosen to use characters from series I'm already writing stories in. Hopefully, this ensures that there will be at least some fans for the new concepts ;-). The first possible new story is A Very Confused Pokemon Adventure. Featuring 2B getting an Iseki adventure in the world of Pokemon. Yes, you read that right. Yes, my brain is a strange but wonderful (I think) place. There is a short 1,800-word teaser of the story attached to this post!
For this month only, this story will show up in the poll as an option to vote for in place of Eridium Dreams. If it wins, it will not only get an update, but a permeant inclusion into the story poll! So, check it out before you vote!
As usual, this poll will run through the 25th and will determine which of the 'secondary' short stories will be updated in September. Also remember that this poll is weighted, with very patron getting the dollar value of their patronage in votes. So, the lowest tier that can vote gets 3 votes by default. While higher tiers (or those that up their donation without a tier) get additional votes. You CAN vote for more than one story, but you're votes will be evenly split between those stories if you do, even if that results in fractional votes!
Without future ado, here are the options/summaries for next month!
------------
One Piece : Halfway Broken
Ace caught up and slugged it out with Blackbeard on Jaya! Blackbeard escaped, but not without injuries...and Ace himself is injured and unconscious! Just how is this going to derail things for the future? Also upcoming...the Skypeia Arc!
Harry Potter: Pandora's Box
Last time, Harry started a new project...but there was also a field invasion of the Quidditch match by a swarm of giant bees. The school came together to beat back the attack, but where did it come from? What was its intent? And how will everyone react to this new escalation?
A Very Confused Pokemon Adventure
Spoilers if you haven't read the teaser yet!
After dying without a Backup, 2B didn't expect anything at all. So, waking up in the strange-yet-wonderous world of Pokemon is quite the shocker! Particularly when she discovers that there are living humans here! Also, why is she shorter?
(2B: "Wait...what do you mean I'm human? And what the hell is Aura?!")

I understand your frustration, trust me :-p. I'd like to give the other stories a chance. But doing something that blatant wouldn't be fair to the majority who join...specifically to vote for Halfway Broken. It IS why I keep making small updates to the other stories, in hopes of increasing interest and fan following for them. Likewise, it's why this month and next month I'm introducing the two new story concepts, in hopes one of them can give Halfway Broken a bit of actual challenge in the voting -_-. If you look at the most recent release post for My Hero Automata (only a few minutes old as I'm writing this), you'll see that next month another story is going to get a chance at an update as well, as the result of my need to pause and do some planning for Automata. Which will hopefully given whichever story I update a better shot in the polls...

Can you PLEASE not put one piece in the polls for a few months? I feel like that is the only thing that is ever getting votes.
Danielle
Ugh, can we please pick something other than one piece? Like, I get it, it’s good but come on people, have some adventure!

If you do write it, I’ll definitely read it! I promise!
Novus Peregrine
I hoped for at least a few people to react like that ;-). I think it would be fun to write ^_^.

I usually vote for Half-Broken but 2B in the Pokemon World as a human? OMG that’s too funny! It gets my vote this time!
