AOHCR plot ideas survey!
🕑 Added 2025-08-09 15:55:40 +0000 UTCSo, as I mentioned earlier, I see many potential paths for this series to take moving forward, and I'm having a hard time picking one. Why, you ask? Well...
Mostly it's because I kinda like them all, in the sense that I don't see one as being necessarily better than the other, and I would like to see them all play out, at least a little bit, to get a sense of what they look like on paper, beyond the mere abstract potential that I know they all have. So, because of this general indecision on my part, I turn to you all and ask your counsel.
I have listed here, in no particular order, all the various plot points I would like to develop in future chapters of An Offer He Can't Refuse, so that you can vote on which one(s) you prefer. If you want some clarifications on how I envision each plot point playing out, you'll find a brief summary in the post right before this one, the August Game Plan one, from a few days ago.
Also, at the end of the list, I've added a newly emerged possibility that I hadn't even considered before, one that, luckily, one of you brought up in the comments to the August Game Plan post.
It's a great idea, and a nice way to avoid the main problem I was having (that is, having to chose just one plot) entirely, since it's a grand plan that ties all the plots together in a long 'season-length' sort of way, so that each story arc in the list gets its time in the spot light throughout the chapters and they all connect one to the next.
Personally, the more I think about this option, the more I like it. For some reason, I was so concerned with picking a specific plot for the next chapter that I hadn't even considered the fact that the choice isn't final, in the sense that most of these plots are NOT mutually exclusive, so yeah, they could almost all be picked, in a sense, one after the other, all of them entwining together, over time. Thank you very much for the reminder, Michael, that was awesome feedback indeed!
So yeah, here's a chance to let me know which scenario you like the most! Even though they could all be introduced into the story over a few chapters, I would still like to get a sense of which path looks more appealing to you. After all, I kinda need to know where to start before I get into the next chapter!
Alright, as usual, $5 patrons get 1 vote, $10 patrons get 2 votes, $25 patrons get 3 votes. If they so desire, patrons with multiple votes can pool them on a single choice by letting me know so in the comments below, or via message. I'll add these votes to the final tally when the poll closes.
Okay then: with no further ado, let the voting begin!
