May Story Poll

Alright folks! I wanted to leave a little space between the still-ongoing Displaced Hero Relationship Poll - Round 2 and the main story poll for the month, hence why it's only going up now. But it's certainly time to hoist the poll up for everyone to get their votes in! Since A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure beat out both Halfway Broken and Eridium Dreams to take the victory, Pokémon Adventure has been reset to not having any boosts! Of course, it's still a popular and recently updated story, so who knows if it could snag another unexpected win ;-).

Staying on the topic of vote boosts for a moment or three longer, Harry Potter: Pandora's Box has hit the requirement to start getting boosts again. It will start out with a +30% boost for this poll. Of course, Eridium Dreams also has a heck of a massive boost of +180% at this point. It actually came in second last month, meaning it as a solid shot at displacing Halfway Broken for another month. Which would be a bit wild, given that it would mean Halfway Broken, of all fics, would get a +30% boost in the next poll! I seriously need emojis or something here for a proper shocked face!

Anyway, enough about boosts! Time for your options!

------------Story Options for May!------------

One Piece : Halfway Broken

The Marines and Yonko are all moving, a collision course is set to shake the world! Yet, before that happens, the Strawhat crew has found themselves on Asuka Island. A Marine Vice-Admiral has unleashed the cursed Seven Star Sword, flooding the island with bloodlust and driving the locals to shelter under the protection of the local priestesses. A protection that won't last forever, as one of them is expending their very life to make it last! The more spiritually attuned of the crew are wrapped up in the mystery, while those that remain on the ship face their own struggles as they discover the Marines weren't the only ones ensnared by the curse!

Harry Potter: Pandora's Box(Current Boost +30%)

Last time, Harry faced an Eldrich 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!

Mass Effect: Eridium Dreams(Current Boost +180% to votes)

The Council has little choice but to believe that something is wrong when one of their best agents gives them a detailed report, right alongside dumping Geth refugees on them. Something which is a nightmare all on its own with the current state of Citadel law. While the politicians deal with that headache, newly minted Spectre Sae Shepard is on the hunt, with her first few missions being to work with Spectre Saren! They have a not-so-well-regarded Prothean researcher to find...

A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure

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!

------------------

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.
