AN: This won by a pretty big margin considering there were so many options. It ended up with about a third of the vote in the end. Not that any of that really surprised me considering the originals popularity haha

Astoria- Asli Atil

“Born in 1754, what French wizard famously survived the Reign of Terror by casting a Concealment Spell on his own neck to make it appear that it had already been severed?” Griselda Marchbanks stood at a podium, raised where the head table would normally be. She was the impartial adjudicator for these events. Considering how long she’d been overseeing the testing for both the OWLs and NEWTs, she seemed like the logical person to administer a test...

Happy Monday everyone! We're back to the usual weekly poll. There's only one new option this week because once I added the extra votes for higher tier patrons to the vote from Poll- 25, 'How to Fix a Disastrous Date' actually came in a tie for third then fourth in Poll- 26. So, it makes it through another week at least.
For anyone wondering, there will be a new chapter of TBOSV coming up next, either today or tomorrow, and then the second part of 'A Last Dance' later this week.&nb...

Rowena- Anna Belik
“Better! Much better, just a little bit more firmly now.” Rowena gushed, ecstatic for Mairi as she managed to successfully perform her first Stunning Spell with some small issues though, “Can’t have your own wand go flying when you’re trying to disarm your opponent, can you?” They were in a small clearing in the Dark Forest, the sun just peaking through the trees. The tent where the former captives were staying sat on the outside edge.

“The Burrow.” Harry threw a handful of floo powder down into the fireplace and disappeared in a blaze of emerald flames. It was a pleasantly warm Sunday morning, and he was headed over for the weekly family breakfast. While he wasn’t technically part of the family, Arthur and Molly always insisted that he come along.
What he wasn’t expecting was the utter cacophonous chaos that would greet him, “It’s absolutely ridicu...

“Legillimens.” He didn’t think he’d ever heard a spell said quite so hatefully. There was no subtly, no gentle probing, just an all-out assault on his mind and the barriers within.

Watching the pitch from atop his Firebolt, he’d spent very little of their practice session doing anything remotely related to playing Seeker. The fact the snitch was still sitting in its little compartment in the chest only made that point glaringly obvious. It was quite simple as far as he was concerned, he knew his job and would take care of it to the best of his ability. He had enough trust in his own skill to focu...

Standing right in front of the mirror, Victoire looked herself over. Owed to her veela heritage, she had flawless, unblemished skin. Pale and silky smooth, there was a light glow about her, but that had as much to do with her excitement as it did anything else. Her bosom was big, beautifully shaped, and perky. Her dark, pink areola were small, no bigger than a sickle coin and capped with cute nipples about as big and long as the tip of he...

First of these since December. Honestly, feels like it was more recent than that. I think I mentioned it before, but if not, from now on, there will be one of these monthly that takes place the first week in place of the usual prompt poll. That way if you have a favorite of the oneshots, there'll be more opportunities to see them continued.
Not every story will be represented here, simply because there are some that I don't have an idea for a sequel. If there's one you were hoping...

299. 300. 301. 302. This assignment was absolutely mind-numbing, to the point where Hestia found herself counting the number of bricks on the outside façade of the house. Damn you, Tonks. Why did you have to go and get yourself another assignment from Bones? She knew it was unfair to blame it on her fellow auror, but she really didn’t care at that moment.

They landed with the softest of thuds, both of them careful to make as little noise as possible. One dim torch cast flickering shadows around the room. It was small, barely large enough to fit them, and immaculately clean. Cleanliness is close to godliness, I suppose.
Neither he nor Rowena knew exactly what to expect, which was why they had their wands drawn. They’d waited a week before using the portkey to come to Inverness, ...

After a couple weeks' break, we're back. After the opinion poll, I've decided that instead of putting sequel options into the weekly prompt poll there will be one weekly poll each month that will be comprised entirely of sequel options so that it can be more frequent than the current approach with story polls. The first of those will be next week.
As for this week, there are two new options after 'A Fair Trade' lost for a second consecutive week and 'Nightly Discipline' won.

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their patience this month. It's been very busy, and while some of it I had planned, other things, particularly the rather nasty sinus infection I've only just gotten over, threw me off my usual schedule in a big way.
I've gotten back to writing as of today, and you can expect a new chapter of TBOSV by Wednesday at the latest.
Now as to this poll, I'm curious to know your thoughts on the weekly poll options. Namely, would...

This is going to take the place of the weekly poll for this week because I don't want to fall behind on it. You can expect the winner of that poll, 'Nightly Discipline', as well as another chapter of TBOSV by the end of the week.

After I added the votes for higher tier patrons, week 21 ended up being the closest poll yet, with only six votes in it. 'Making Things Right' won in the end. I got back home at 1 o'clock this morning after a four drive and a very busy weekend, so it should come out some time tomorrow once I get a chance to sit down and work on it.
