New Story Poll! (Reposted because multi votes)

As the title says, I am thinking of starting a new story, however! I shall not start it until I finish at least one of my current ones.

Think of this poll as just me gauging your responses on which media you would like to see a story on, rather than which story you want me to write next.

Without further ado, here are the stories I have in mind:

Crimson Chains (tentative title)

A Naruto self-insert from birth but the character shall still grow into Naruto himself. Frankly, I do not even like self-inserts in stories but this has been on my mind for a while. Naruto will be red-haired and have full Uzumaki abilities and shall be paired with an OC sister of Sasuke (older than him but younger than Itachi. No genderbending)

I already wrote a first chapter and have it somewhere but I plan to rewrite it if I ever take this story seriously.

I have another Naruto story that is NOT a self-insert but I have not planned it yet. The premise is set right after graduation where Naruto from the Blood Prison movie is travelled back in time to his child self but has memory problems. Expect a more serious and broody Naruto with a healthy dislike of the Ninja system.

Middle Earth: Shadow of the North

Jon Snow in Middle Earth set a couple of years before the events of the Hobbit. This will be an older Jon who is juiced up on Old God magic and Ghost fusing with him due to Melisandre botching the ritual to resurrect him. The premise is that the Old Gods are nameless and formless because they are but a shadow of a fraction of the goddess of nature in Middle Earth. They yearn to return to Yavanna and manipulate Jon into it as he chases the last of the Others, an apostle of the Great Other who in turn is but a piece of Melkor's shadow that travelled worlds and arrived in Westeros.

Jon will get lost in a blizzard and finds himself in the shadow of Gundabad. I had entertained pairing him with an OC elf maiden but every nerd I spoke about Tolkein lore told me that's a bad idea. You get no benefits, the elf becomes mortal, and your kids don't get any special power. Pairing will be open for now, but this will start as Jon simply being a ranger or a hunter in the North of Middle Earth and later develop into kingdom building, focusing on the Vale of Anduin, Rhovinia, Dale, and Dorwinion.

Alternatively: I can follow the exact same formula but with Percy Jackson. He also arrives in Middle Earth before the events of the hobbit and shit happens with him and dragons and stuff lol.

Which brings me to my third story.

Lightning Storm (tentative title)

During the events of the Sword of Hades in the Demigod Files, Percy and Thalia fall into Tartarus, taking the Chaos express to Middle Earth. They wake up underwater in the Bay of Forochel in the year 3017TA, finding themselves in a desolated and cold wasteland. Monsters are abound, orcs, goblins and other nasties are everywhere. Eventually, they make their way to the Grey Havens, things happen with Cirdan and are sent to Rivendell.

My plan for this story is to completely upend the fellowship and the overarching story of the War of the Ring. Due to the duo's arrival, more monsters appear from the far north, that are on nobody's side. Villains gain benefits and so do the heroes, but within the massive conflict of Middle Earth, Percy and Thalia will grow close to each other and form a powerful bond...despite Thalia's enamoring with a certain gold ring.

My LOTR stories will be inspired by the books, the movies, and the games (Particularly Shadow of Mordor). This poll shall remain open for a long time and pinned for newcomers to leave their votes. Remember, this is not a binding vote nor is this for which story I shall start next. I am merely interested in what story would interest you more, which is why I left a fourth option in the poll. Keep in mind my interests when dropping suggestions: HP, ASOIAF, LOTR, PJO, Naruto, One Piece, and RWBY.

I might still write in a new setting if its popular and interesting enough for me to take a look at.
