November 2023 short story poll
Added 2023-11-26 11:17:04 +0000 UTCPolls should start coming earlier in the month again starting next month, I finally got my buffer built back up! And will this be the month that Basilisk Street finally kicks off? (Lol.)
- Basilisk Street Issue 1 (Non-Aetheriad): The first issue of the script for a graphic novel I wrote around 2011-2012. Pretty standard "secret government agency" story in the first few issues, specifically an agency dedicated to monitoring, controlling, and shutting down exotic weaponry- linguistic weaponry, death symphonies, grey goo, that sort of thing. After the first few issues, though, it gets weird fast. Whenever readers vote for this one, it will start a run of all five issues over the next five months- but that won't interfere with regular short stories. So the first Basilisk Street month, you just get Basilisk Street 1, but the next four months, you'll get Basilisk Street alongside the regular monthly short story. Bonus value! (You'll probably notice some early versions of ideas that later found their way into Mage Errant- it's why I avoided publishing this one until I finished Mage Errant.)
- Along Came a Dragon (Limnus): The dragon Xandrefax has wandered a dozen worlds, conquering and pillaging as he pleases, unpredictable and unstoppableβ and now heβs decided to lay his sights on Limnus, to turn it into his personal kingdom of endless sky.
Heβs about to learn the hard way what Limnus does to conquerors. - Respect for the Dead (Anastis): Asa the Banisher suspects that her most recent job isn't what it seems- but when you deal with spirits and elementals for a living, no job ever is.
