Heroes of the High Seas Prologue

Merry Christmas/Happy third night of Hanukkah!

Teaser chapter Poll Results

Okay everyone once more it is time to bring a poll to a close. In this case, it is the Patron Only Teaser Chapter Poll.

The Scores were, in third place, Horse Finding Heaven. HFH brought in 788, sorry Kasumi fans. 

Coming in second place was Climbing Together. Despite my having mentioned this story most of all in discussions before this, Shampoo seems to still be a bit of annoyance to many. Still it came in second with 922

Yet with 1,17...

December Small Story Poll Response

And the Small Story Poll for December is now closed!!!

The results are:

In Fifth place was Fate Touched in Middle Earth. It brought in 267 over on Fanfic, but a little less than that here, putting it in the last place with only 581. Ouch. Still, I will keep it in the small story rotation for a few months just to see if we can garner more interest in it.

Anything Goes Game Changer scored 649 with only 1...

Another Bunch of Smallish/Medium Questions

Hello all, since the small story poll will be done tomorrow and like in most months these days, I’ve got a few questions I thought I’d put past you all. 

First of all, two broad questions.

Tattoos and piercings: 

Where does everyone stand on the use of these as plot devices/points of interest? I have ideas of magic imbued tattoos/runes I can use in practically every story I am writing that has magic in them. Stallion too though not magic ones...

December Patron Only Story Results

Okay, folks, it’s the fifteenth, which means this is a day early, but I’ve decided to shut this poll down now and announce the winner. The Heroes of the High seas teaser chapter is done bar the editing though I have split it up into a prologue and a chapter one. The first is off to its second editor, the second should be back to me by tomorrow or so. And the political segment of Magic’s next chapter, after three whole DAYS of work on it, is d...

December Medium Story Poll Results

Hello Everybody. As I said I would, I am going to end the Medium Story Poll today since it has been up for so long. So without further ado, here we go!

It was close. The closest vote I’ve seen in a long while, and I decided not to toss my votes into the ring this time one way or the other – putting my votes towards the cliffhanger or the story which hasn’t been updated in four months. I felt that with the rest of what I was doing this month, it wouldn’t be fai...

Calling All Editors!!!

Hello all. This is a request (read as plea complete with bowed head and even kneeling if you want to imagine it) for editors. By this I mean people who are good at spotting small mistakes and correcting them in around ten to fourteen days if possible. You do not need to have any knowledge of the canons being mutilated, you just need the ability to correct small mistakes and be able to turn on the track changes as you do so.  

The following storie...

Patron Only Teaser Chapter Poll

Yo, all. I have to apologize for getting this out today rather than yesterday, but I was trying desperately, and rather foolishly, to get the battle that should have been part of GDWHOM11 out with the rest of the chapter. As those who read the chapter I posted no, this was indeed futile, as the combat section just wasn’t up to my standards. Yes, those standards are high. Anyone complaining? LOL. 

Anyway, the three choices shown here are stories whose first chapters are fully outl...

Patron Only December Story Poll

As i have mentioned this poll is only going to be between my two existing Patron-only Ranma Fics, since Bhaalson Remodel won in November.  Although I was really dismayed at how few posts/favorites it got... 

Making Waves - Ranma/Fairy Tail crossover:   With winter holding Magnolia in its grip, Ranma and the others find diverse ways of staying warm.  This includes training (duh), and romance in various forms.  Jenny and Ranma go on ...

December Small Story poll.

First a sit-rep for those waiting for Gods and Devils.  I just started work on it today, because I... kind of made a mistake on the FILFy chapter that had me working/finalizing two scenes that should have happened at the end of the chapter and missing two scenes that needed to happen mid-chapter.  So on the one hand I finished about half of the next chapter for FILFy, but on the other hand, I only have a bit of the GDWHOM chapter done just now.  I will have so...

Bhaalson Remodel Chapter 5

Heyo everybody, this is the next work of BR and

November Small Story Poll Response

Alright guys, I let this poll go for three days longer than I said it would, but it it time to bring the small story poll to a close.  Stallion is off to the second editor, and Bhaalson is off to it's sole editor at this point, so both should be up sometime this weekend (fingers crossed).  

Now for the results:

In last place was Anything Goes Game Changer.  It did surprisingly poorly, with only 107 from fanfic and a total of 523.

Coming in third with 762 was S...

December Format Announcement.

The format for December will be: 

One Medium sized story for fanfic. This poll has already been put up.

One small story for fanfic.  This poll will be posted the same day I announce the winner of November’s small story poll. Whoever wins will not be in the December poll. This in an attempt to start some kind of rotation, rather it is simply so I can get the poll started early.

I will also be sharing two chapters of Making Waves with th...

December Medium Story Poll

With FILFy having won the poll for November, I decided to shift December’s large/medium story poll to the two other stories that qualify for this category at this moment. 

Why is it still a medium story poll instead of a large?  I’ve worked out how many words both stories should take, and the most natural place to break off, so unless something major goes off the rails, I should keep them at around 40,000 words. Of course, that being said, things often d...

November Medium Story Poll results

Alright, everybody, it is now the 16th, a day after I said I would end the Medium story poll, but I wanted to finish work on the next chapter of Bhaalson Remodel, and now most of it is done. I just have to go back and format things, put in stats sheets and so forth.  I have also just gotten back the latest Stallion chapter from its first editor and should be sending it off to my Ranma expert either tonight or early tomorrow. I will also be going over the questions thre...

Update Me Question:

Okay, so it’s no secret that there have been a few stories that have been in update limbo: Fate Touched was the worst until it won, but Gods and Devils has been waiting in the wings for a long while too. And at this point, Horse has also not been updated in a long while. 

So the question is, and this is a suggestion a few patrons have made, should I just, say, every time a story doesn’t win in five months, remove one of the polls and just update that story? Is...

Another Round of Smallish Questions

And here is this month’s questions posts. LOL.  And as always, these questions will be separated by the story they are about when applicable. Most of these are small, which is why I haven’t separated them into different posts.

First, two FILFy questions: 

1. I need a few Dark Wizard names. Four minimum for preference and I’d like them to be Greek, Egyptian, German or South African names. I’m wondering if there are any ...

Bhaalson Remodel Question/Discussion Post

These questions, on the other hand, are kind of large, and since Bhaalson Remodel doesn’t already have a general discussion thread, I decided to separate it out.

First, Bhaalson Remodel:

Two general questions here and three specific:

1. What do you think about the Gamer-style Mechanics as I’ve been using them? I’m not asking about the fonts or anything like that, I’m just wondering if you like how I have incorporated the Gamer system into ...

November Patron Only Result

Okay, people, it is the ninth, Stallion is off to its first editor, and outlines written for every chapter that is up for voting. That means that I will be closing the patron-only poll as I warned I would at this point, albeit a day after I said it would end. I will also be posting a few small scattered questions. 

Anyway, here is the results of the patron-only poll. And let me say I was astonished at how close this was, like seriously. 

Well, except for the last place. ...

What to do in December

This is the second poll I spoke off in the favorites poll.  It has to do with December, and what I will do in it.  For those who haven’t been with me in December before this, what I do is I usually offer an extra story or some other kind of special in the last month of the year.  I have done an extra small story on top of the normal three, I have done two large stories plus a small story and a patreon-only story, I have done teasers.  So that’s what this poll, another ...

What Are Your Two Favorite Stories?

 Okay, first let me say this and the other straight numbers poll has nothing to do with the polls for this month. The second will touch on December and what I should do for that month. This one will deal with again, figuring out the shape, as it were of my fandom.  Since more of you voted for the I like everything, but I have one or two favorites I vote for every time.‘ than any of the other choices, here we go.

Will this poll have any long term effects? 

Somewhat...

Small Story Poll

And here is the last poll this month, the small story poll.   Stallion of the Line is not on here since I'm already working on it from October.

Once more, you have Four (4) votes for every dollar per poll.

 The choices in this poll this month are:

A Semblance of Hope - RWBY/Ranma crossover: Ranma and Pyrrha talk about this odd relationship thing, deciding that for all their lack of experience they want to give it a...

Patron Only Poll:

This is the poll for the patron-only story.  I had initially intended to put this up when I got to introduce Minsc and Boo in Bhaalson Remodel or right before the Tenrou Island arc in Making waves, and since we're one chapter away from that in Making waves and right there for Bhaalson, the time has come to once more put the decision of which patron-only story gets updated into the hands of you, my patrons.

This choice will include the three patron-only stories and one story idea. &...

Medium story Poll (LOL)

Hey guys and gals, as you might have figured out by seeing how small Fate Touched was, my hopes for having as much free time as I had initially hoped to have this past week were unceremoniously dashed.  However, I do intend to get Stallion out by next weekend or so.  

With that in mind though, and with my work on the next patron-only chapter, I don't know if I will be able to get a truly large story chapter out this month.  So instead, I'm going to promis...

Bhaalson Remodel Chapter 4

Okay folks, here is the next chapter of Bhaalso

Making Waves 24

Okay, better late than never right guys? Guys?

What Kind Of Stories Do You Vote For?

Like in the first poll, this is again more to give me an idea of what my audience likes to see.  If you feel strongly about any one aspect shown here though, feel free, as always, to comment.

Which Fandom Do You Vote for?

So, if you’ve read the announcement that I made about the two October polls, you know how their results came about. However, as I was thinking about how the votes go, it got me to thinking. So I came up with two small polls. One simply asks for your preference of the style of stories you enjoy, and the other asks about the fandom you vote for.

Note that these polls are more to tell me about my Patrons as a group than any one individual. There has been so much turnov...

October Poll Results

Hello all.  Well it is the 14th, and that means it is time to close the polls! 

As is normal at this point I will give a sitrep: I have sent off Making Waves to Michael Duggan for small mistake editing. This way he can hopefully look it over, get it back to me and be ready to look over ATP once it is finished. After Michael’s done with MW, it will go to Justlovereadin’ and Hiryo...
