Vote For Future Stories!
2 years ago
Okay, so this time I actually found a site to create actual polls, so dunno how this will work but lets try it. If it doesn't work we can just default to the usual; leave a comment. Or do both. Anyway- schedule is full up till beyond April of next year so obviously this is planning way in advance but why not sooner than later, right?
The first vote is directly on what TF subject to choose. After beating Subnautica and Subnautica; Below Zero on both PS4 and PS5, and my original Subnautical TF story did well enough popularity wise, I figured why not another for Below Zero? My first one was on Ghost Leviathan, in case you missed it. For Below Zero TFs it is between Squidsharks, Ice Worm (minus their numerous glitches), the Frozen Leviathan, or Architect. Architect is a wild card- it essentially means a hybrid of several species from the game rather than any one species. Normally I would go with that option because hybrids are the most chaotic and thus interesting, the problem here is that all of the species are already aliens. Making a new form based on various aliens we are already not especially familiar with might be a bit too much for some people- too abstract for most people to go for, so. There will be a second TF in the story but it is pre-determined and will remain a mystery for now due to plot reasons. Assuming the poll works, there should be images included in case you don't know/remember what they look like.

And the second vote is on how my stories are presented in the first place. Next year- at least the first half of the year- is going to be much fewer stories that are much longer than normal. I have an idea that takes place in the aftermath of my first Year's End Finale story; What You Wish For. It has three characters who are demi-animal (vast majority human) at first, but gradually devolve into animal halves and approach but never attain full feral. They are on a roadtrip together so they will be interacting with each other a lot with their changes, but also each character will have their own separate arch basically. So a sort of mixed intro, then three archs for each MC, and then a mixed finale. This could be 5 stories, 5 episodes, or one story with 5 chapters. So what would people proffer it be? One story broken into chapters you can skip to? Each part an episode (Story, Story p2, Story p3). Or stand-alone stories, where all immediately relevant information is repeated in each one, and the titles are different for each? Obviously the more directly strung together they are; the more involved the character and story can be, but some people just want the TF n erotic bits and don't care about plot anyway- so.

So yea, already piling up ideas for next year stories, haha. Got a bunch of video game related ones, so maybe I will have an entire month of just videogame related TFs? There is an Animal Crossing villager one, wanna do one with Birdo from Mario, a Charr from Guildwars, then the Below Zero vote winner, and I am thinking about maybe a monster from Dragon Quest but haven't decided on which one yet. Leaning Spritzfire. Then there are 2 possibly 3 new prehistoric TFs planned; Hyracotherium (proto-horse), Platybelodon (proto-elephant), and then a possibility of either Pakicetus (proto- land whale), or Eryops (proto-frog). Also a M tf Hydra prequel to What You Wish For (the guy who made the initial wish that almost ended the world).
Remember- commenting and voting helps change the future content! I had only a rough idea of a possible third counterpart for Sit, Girl and Stud In The Sheets but people really wanted a followup, so that rough idea became a definite future plan. People wanted a sequel to UnFixed- I took a long while because I needed to think of some sort of twist to make a second that was entirely unique from the original, but eventually we got Re:UnFixed.

That would be the option for how Year End Finale's have been already (or Soulbound, my actual novella). Chapter list at the top you can CTRL+F the title of to jump to its location within the story. That would be the most cohesive format for character and story development because I wouldn't have to worry about an into and outro, or re-explaining the situation every new chapter.
The pro for 1 story chaptered is story/characters +, can make it a better actual -story-
The con for 1 story is it is real big and some people are intimidated by that and may choose to not read it based entirely on that.
The pro for episodes are they are shorter and a sort of balance between story and just getting to the hot TFs- no need to CTRL+F to jump to a chapter because each chapter is its own file
The con for episodes is story tension is dropped per episode and starts anew in the next, and having 'p2' or just 'Story 2' sort of titles afflicts it with the curse of sequels- someone who didn't read the first probably isn't going to read the sequel, and not everyone who read the first wanted a sequel. So a sequel can only ever do as good as the first already did- if not worse. So some people will see a 2 after the name and bail without even looking at it.
The pro for stand alone episodes is not only can you jump to the part you want easily... it doesn't even matter what order you read them in. You might not even realize two of them are related till AFTER you read them.
The con for stand alone episodes is I have to re-explain the entire scenario and re-introduce the characters every single time, story tension and progression gets majorly neutered because every part of the story now needs its own beginning and end. So continuity between them is now more of a background thing.
