May 2023 Short Story Poll
Added 2023-05-22 10:05:10 +0000 UTCSo, I originally didn't think I had enough options for a proper poll this month, but I just realized I do! All the options are complete, and will go up as soon as voting resolves. (Messed up the original poll, this is a repost. I'm so bad at this, lol.)
- Theomachies Plural (Non-Aetheriad): There have been a lot of good reasons through history to rebel against the heavens. This foul-mouthed succubus from upstate New York, however, is joining the revolution because she can't afford her damned (literally) student loans. (Inspired by China Mieville. Very foul language.)
- Basilisk Street Issue 1 (Non-Aetheriad): The first issue of the script for a graphic novel I wrote around 2011-2012. It's, well... clumsy compared to my modern writing in a lot of ways, but far from irredeemable. 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. 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 plus a short story! Extra value!
- Mage Errant 7 deleted scenes: Pretty self-explanatory. Three deleted scenes from Mage Errant 7. (Only one of which remains canon, and which I'm considering expanding into a proper short story at some point. Maybe.)
Comments
Yeah, I find myself bemused at how the votes go at times, but these things happen. The vast majority of my Patrons made their way here from Mage Errant, so Mage Errant content usually wins out first.
