Okay Guys, What's My Next Project? · 3:11am May 26th, 2018
Well, while my plan won't be entirely put into effect due to concerns about me pushing myself too much*, I figured I'd still let you guys choose what stories I do next. I have too many ideas to keep track of, and too short of an attention span to focus on just one unless I force myself, so I would really appreciate you guys telling me what you'd like me to do.
So this part will still work like I said it would: I'll provide a list of projects I'm working on (titles and descriptions), and then set up the link to two Strawpolls so you guys can directly vote. One strawpoll will be for multi-chapter stories, the other for one-shots. I will also be allowing multiple votes in these polls, because there are a LOT of stories I've had ideas for, so hopefully this helps if you guys experience some indecision.
To keep things organized, I'll be picking the top story from each poll to write to completion: hopefully finishing the one-shot before the muilti-chapter, and I'll be taking another poll for every one-shot and project in the future until they're all done. Hopefully this will help me grow my skill as an author, and provide better stories for you all to read.
So, without further ado!

*Concerns which I do appreciate, but... c'mon, I don't even have a job or anything aside from household chores. I literally slack off all day. I want to be productive this Summer.
A Dragon's Hoard. I love that one!

I know you do, Sums. I know you do.
Both "A dragon's horde" and "A Land Without the Sun" sound pretty interesting.
I’m excited. I finally got to read the summary of In the Courtship of His Majesty and know what the story will be about.
A dragons hoard
The Fall of Laughing Track. There's just not enough psycos in Equestria.

Thank you all for the feedback, but I'd appreciate it if you would use the strawpoll like I asked so that I can keep a more accurate track of how many votes there are for each story. Hence the strawpoll results will be the deciding vote.
Thank you.
