This Month’s Poll for the Commissioned Pioneer Tier!

Hello Commissioned Pioneers!

I hope the month has treated all of you well!

The town trip progresses as Emma moves into her various objectives, from the amethyst dragon quest all the way to her search for Rila! The highlight of the town chapters for me really was the souvenir shop, as I’ve been itching to write the gang’s dynamics outside of Academy expectations, in a setting that allows them to just be themselves! :D Character dynamics is a part of writing that I always enjoy delving into, especially with this particular set of characters that have quickly become my favorite cast! 

With all that being said, I really do have to thank you guys for being so patient with me for the bonus story this month! It’s been a rather intense month for me, with a lot of stuff going on with my family (my grandmother’s health, and me needing to arrange hospital matters for her, eventually resulting in me needing to discuss with her the issue regarding her upcoming surgery), as well as stuff involving my living situation. I won’t dive too deep into these topics of course since they get a bit heavy. However, I really do appreciate you guys being so patient with the release of the bonus story! As I really wanted to polish it before releasing it, so that it would reflect the quality that I expect my work to live up to! 

I owe it to you guys for being so incredibly supportive of my passion. And once again, I really do want to take this time to thank everyone for being here with me! To say that your support has made a massive impact on my life would be an understatement, so I genuinely want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you. 

Thank you guys. 

I’ll continue to try my best to write the best stories I can! :D 

As always though, the new month calls for another round of votes!

So let's get right into the task at hand!

You guys should already see the Monthly Short Story for September already up and live! Last month you guys voted for Wearing Power Armor to a Magic School's twentieth side story!

I wanted to try something a little bit different this time around! This month’s bonus story is one that I’ve been itching to write — a dive into the story from another perspective outside of the story’s main focus! I’ve always been someone who sort of daydreams about the lives or perspectives of others in the periphery of a story, and the events leading up to, and exactly how they experience the main story as they’re introduced to it! This particular story sort of tackles that, as it explores a radically different sort of person outside of Emma’s usual roster of acquaintances, and exactly what his perspective was of Emma! It also allowed me to explore a few bits of worldbuilding from the Nexus’ side of things too! I hope you guys enjoy it! :D 

Now, onto this month's poll for October’s Short Story!

For those of you who are new Commissioned Pioneers, here's a little description of just how the polls work:

Every new month, each person in the Commissioned Pioneer tier gets 1 vote for one of the four story concepts listed in the poll. The poll will be posted soon after the release of the previous month’s bonus story. Voting will last for about three to four weeks following the poll’s release. This is so that everyone has ample time to vote across the entirety of the month, and so that I have time to write up the story for the new month!

And of course, as most of you guys are here for Wearing Power Armor to a Magic School, as well as Humans Don't Hibernate, this month's poll will again include an option for additional side story opportunities for these two universes! :D
