Annual free-for-all story voting! · 1:36am Jan 3rd, 2018
One of the perks I offer my Patreon supporters is that they get to vote on which story idea I'll write next. But now, anyone can vote!
A little late this year, but it's back: I'll let anyone vote on which story I'm doing next, regardless of whether they support me on Patreon or not. I have a list of all my potential story ideas, and just once per year, all of you get to vote on which one of those I'll write next.
Vote Here! Voting ends on Feb 2nd.
More detailed instructions and explanations are on the voting page.
Just three things I want to point out here:
- Please vote only once. That's mostly on the honor system; be fair to the other people voting. (Though I will throw out any results that look like obvious cheating.)
- You'll need to log in to Google in order to cast your vote, hopefully that's not a burden. (Don't worry; voting is anonymous, and the form isn't storing names or email addresses.)
- Some ideas are NSFW (All links/pictures are SFW); the ones that are NSFW will be marked with a [NSFW] before the description.
For those of you who already support me on Patreon: Don't worry, your story voting will go on as usual. This poll is in addition to that. (And you're still free to participate in this one as well!)
For those of you who don't support me on Patreon: That's fine! I love all my fans, which is why I'm doing this -- this one's for you in particular. If you'd like to help keep me writing, or if you'd like to have more control over what I write ... or even if you'd just like to get to 'proofread' my stories a few days early, please consider signing up. I'd be glad to have you!
Holy sweet hell there are a lot of options...
So many stories!!
I voted on all of them.
There are a couple I would love to see written,
4765959
Yeah ^.^ those are pretty much all of my MLP-related story ideas that haven’t been written yet!
4765967
Which ones?
(Besides serving as a bit of self-promotion and a bit of an advertisement for what my Patreon supporters get, I also do this to help find out what’s popular with people and what isn’t. So I’m curious to know which ones tickle your fancy.)
4765991
I mean, my number 1 was ponyta, but it seems to be getting some unfavorable reviews, I assume mostly due to it's not NSFW status
The sun came out and clean dash are some of the other's I'd be invest in seeing
4766002
Huh... Interesting to see someone who picked up on Dirty Little Secret’s blog post, but votes most highly on the SFW ones...
4765991
Lets see, Ill post everything I gave an 8 or higher and one or two of the sevens, because they are either sequels or something intriguing.
Woona & Cewestia
Changeling Origins
By Proxy
Sunny Side Up (Sunset Shimmer makes me hard, dont care for Sunburst but its worth it to see Sunny and Starlight)
Nightmare Woona (it's Woona! Never enough Woona)
How to Train Your Dragon
Swapped for a Day
Trixie's Reign
Practice Date (especially if it's Twilight and Moondancer)
3 Kinds 3-Way ( really like this idea)
Lunadance (again Luna!)
Overgrowth (Everything's better with tentacles)
Mentorship ( I like these two)
Macaloo ( size difference and age difference, yes please!)
And those where my favorite story ideas. And I really hope I can get a chance to read them someday.

I originally followed for the NSFW, but I've been in a safer/comedic mood lately. It'll probably change back in a few months
Voted. Interesting to see what the results will be.
My, that certainly was a daunting number of options.
Colt that was a TON of story ideas! Voted for all of them, my favorites being mostly the ones to do with changelings *cough* and the Ponyta one. There were others but those are my tops.
4766118
Me, too! Getting to see the results is probably the most fun part of this.
I have to restrain myself from wasting a bunch of time by looking over the incomplete results over and over every time a few more people vote.
There will be time enough to look at it in-depth when the voting closes.
4766151
Yeah ... my idea list tends to grow uncontrollably.
Every month, two of them will be eliminated -- one because I wrote it and the other because I remove the loser of each poll from the options. But, still, I tend to get more than two ideas per month, so the list just grows and grows.
That’s why I try to structure the voting so that you can just vote on some of them and submit it without this unduly skewing the results.
4766171
Heh, changelings are fun!
And I’m not even sure I’m the right writer to write the Ponyta one ... but it’s a fun idea, and I think it should be written.
But I haven’t played or watched Pokemon since the 90’s. If that one wins (and it is a contender), I’ll either have to do lots of ‘research’ to brush up on the Pokemon franchise or find a co-author who’s a big Pokemon fan.
It's interesting to see that so many used the 'zero' value in the vote.
I can understand the NSFW ideas are out for some but really that many who say I'm not interested in "x" at all.

Strategic voting, perhaps.
You can increase the chances of your favorites winning by voting them a 10 and voting everything else a 0.
And also the SFW crowd vs. the NSFW crowd. I’m sure there are some putting a 0 on every SFW idea, and some putting a 0 on every NSFW idea. Together, they’ll contribute a lot of 0’s.
4766652
Which is understandable but somewhat sad in my book.
I am of the general mindset that any (story) idea properly / decently executed would be worth reading at some point.
Being fair there are some fetish things I have no interest at all in, none in this vote though, so those would get a zero.

) but for the most part on even if the idea didn't interest me I still voted at least a 1, as for other readers I'm sure it would be great! Heh after all, there is no law saying I have to read everything from any writer I follow. 
I can skip some things. 
Same here. I mean there was only one I think I voted a 0 on (tentacles, because that is one fetish that I just reaaaallly don't like and well.... yeah...

Heh, I don’t begrudge strategic voting, though.
You could pick one story you really wanted, vote it a 10, and vote everything else a 0 ... and that would be fine. You can still decide to be happy with whatever gets chosen, even as you give the best effort to the one you really want.
I guess what I’m saying is that your voting doesn’t necessarily have to be correlated with how you actually feel about the stories -- which is the ‘strategic’ part of strategic voting.
