May 2022 Short Story Poll
Added 2022-05-11 22:09:23 +0000 UTCSo I've made some changes to how I'm running the short story poll- nothing that should affect y'all, though, just back-end process stuff. Most notably, I'm trying to build up a buffer of short stories ahead of time- which is definitely helping keep up my enthusiasm for the process, since I can just work on whatever short story I'm feeling a whim towards at the moment.
Anyhow, time for this month's poll! (Two are complete, one's half-done, but it won't be long until I finish it.)
- Highvale’s Throne: A group of architects, bureaucrats, and military officers judge a competition to design the new throne for the Kingdom of Highvale.
- Who Killed Seltivor Cloudscale?: In the waning days of the Ithonian Empire, bandits and rogue great powers swarm like flies in its provinces. Seltivor Cloudscale was one of the worst of the lot, performing daring raids deep into the heart of the Ithonian Empire, and earning himself a bounty large enough to buy a small city. When the dragon is finally slain, though, there’s one problem: Literally dozens of mages claim to have been the one to kill him.
- The Castle Thief: Solintus the Patient is ironically named, because he’s anything but patient. What he wants, he gets, and he’s sent his servant Lane to the frigid karst city of Calo’s Watch to negotiate the purchase of the city’s fortress. Lane has a week until Solintus arrives, and one way or another, their master is taking the castle away with him. Something is rotten in Calo’s Watch, though, and it’s not the peat mines.

Can't but help to imagine the "who killed" as a csi story to figure out what the actual killing blow was. Also Can't help but to imagine how a throne contest plays out lmao.
