Short Story Poll #2
Added 2023-01-17 19:00:02 +0000 UTCNow that Mutually Assured is complete, it's time we vote on the next short story. There are some new ideas I've come up. I've also scrapped some of the ideas from the previous poll. I hope to find out what interests you guys the most. Take a look:
1. Being small isn’t always a weakness. The ability to gather skulk around so easily is almost unfair. In a time when Lilli mercenary groups are at an all time high, one killer is given a high-risk mission to assassinate a Brob. Can the speck manage to take down someone thousands of times their size? More importantly, who is this target they’ve been ordered to take care of? This would be a darker story, with a deeply disturbed lead.
2. In the high-fantasy world of DnD, a powerful sorceress finds herself shrunk by a curse. Abandoned by all her party members except one, the unlikely duo will have to work together to restore her to normal. A moody tiny with diminished magic power and an inept giantess with little to no combat ability... What could go wrong? This would be a comedic story, with some touching moments.
3. A different take on the original tale of Gulliver's Travels. When a young woman becomes shipwrecked somewhere in the middle of the ocean, she wakes up on an island of giants. Later on she will find herself on yet another mysterious island, this time inhabited by tiny people. Follow her as she documents her experiences, and tries to find her way home. This can go in any direction. I'm taking ideas.
4. Life as a Brob can be difficult. When you use so much in your daily life, living costs can be pretty high. When the government introduces an irreversible process that can reduce anyone to Lilli size, one poor Brob seriously considers it. Why not? Life as a Lilli is incredibly cheap! Surely the adjustment won’t be that hard… This would be a depressing story with a somber ending.
5. Other. If you have an idea you think is better than my four, comment below. Please be aware that unless I (really) like it, there isn't much chance I'll do it. Sfw ideas only, I won't write smut.
