July Story Poll
🕑 Added 2025-06-14 10:14:00 +0000 UTCAlright! Time for the July Story Poll to finally get up and running. As you should know, if you read the Poll Results Post from almost exactly a day ago, One Piece: Halfway Broken has officially replaced My Hero Automata as one of the two stories that get's updated every month. That means that My Hero Automata is now part of the monthly polling instead, along with the relatively new story Why Was There No Truck?! which has proven unexpectedly popular.
Frankly, toss in the fact that a two stories (Pandora's Box and Pokemon Adventure) have boosts at the moment, and I have absolutely no idea at all what is going to happen with this poll! Let's take a look at the options, first off! (Note: Warning, mild spoilers in the My Hero Automata option for tomorrow's release. I tried to keep it general, but that wasn't easy. It won't be an issue in the future, it's just the awkward timing this time.)
------------Story Options for July!------------
My Hero Automata
Forge 1 is now Operational, with Izumi, Momo and 2B having gotten one of their secret projects underway. In the next release, that project, along with the push of far more new Shieldmaidens onto the African Front, will begin to start the turn of the tide against the invaders. Meanwhile, 'the Enemy get's a say too' remains a truism of warfare, and Izumi and Momo find themselves pulled off of working on Refinery 1 as a desperate call for help comes from a very unexpected source.
Why Was There No Truck?!
Alyssa has successfully pulled off two major operations in Gotham, along with making her presence felt in day, causing unease in the city's criminals. In the days following her elimination of the bulk of the Neon Dragon Triad, clean up operations to sweep away the rest have her meeting some of the local vigilantes for the first time, including a certain Redhead that managed to find her before her Emo-Furry boss did. Meanwhile, not all of the foreign groups, who are starting to realize they might be 'Star Knight's' primary target, are content to let her strike first. Given that she's been making herself a very public target in the daytime, her peaceful patrols can't last forever...
Mass Effect: Eridium Dreams
After some time swimming through the headache of learning to 'speak' Rachni, a new target is revealed as Saren reveals a major Geth presence in the Terminus. Where other people might be confused about the fact those Geth are playing archologist in a clumsy fashion, they has some idea what the Geth are looking for. The team needs to decide who will go try to slow down that effort...and who will, instead, attempt to use the partially working Eden Prime beacon as its own lead. Does anyone the number of the Prothean Empire's IT department?
A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure (Current Boost +30%)
2B and Zoey have had their first misadventure! Or, well, they are part way through it, at least! After all, they only got as far as Diglet's cave inside Viridian Forest. Since the Forest is still stirred up, they need to make a choice. Risk traveling the Forest to Pewter, wait for the Rangers to evacuate, training and battling with a few of the others around while that's organized, or head through Diglett's tunnel for a very unexpected detour to 2B's planned route for the Gyms! If this story wins, I'll run a second snap poll (meaning only 5-7 days long) with some pluses and minuses for each option, letting you lot pick which option they should take!
Harry Potter: Pandora's Box(Current Boost +70%)
Last time, Harry faced an Eldritch being in combat, ending his first year with a bang. Now that Summer has started, he has questions...but not about what happened. Instead, his questions are about why he couldn't find anything out about Sirius Black while at Hogwarts! Determined to find the answer to that question no matter how firmly he has to poke people with a stick, not to mention having business deals and a Transference Ritual for Runes to do, Harry has a busy summer ahead of him before his Second Year!
------------------
Remember, this is a weighted poll! Voters get 1 vote per dollar of their patronage, and you can split your votes. If you vote for more than one story, your votes will be split evenly, even if this means a fractional result. The poll will run through the 25th, as usual.
------------------------------
Get your votes in folks, this might be a wild one...

Most likely, yes. A lot of the higher tier voters actually tend to vote for Confused Adventure, so it won't be absolutely certain until I calculate everything. But the boost differences certainly make Pandora's Box the most likely winner. As for Truck, I haven't posted it anywhere but here yet, so that might make a difference when I actually push it out to the other sites. Which I really should do now that it's a poll story...
The Foreign Traveler
Surprised but happy that Harry Potter will be getting another update so soon! Kinda bummed that we won’t be getting another Truck update but I’m certainly not complaining!
