Poll: The Oliver Conundrum
Hello everyone! Today, a poll about Oliver and the potential Dom bull!
The poll has ended, and is being replaced by a clearer one!
When Oliver got introduced in Chapter 21, I imagined him as "the" Dom bull. Just like Nathan, I was planning to have him be a mainstay in the game, offering some variety, and an interesting dynamic.
Sadly, Oliver proved divisive, for the very simple reason that I didn't write him properly enough. He wasn't a good, respectful Dom to Laura, and was humiliating toward you. It made a lot of people absolutely hate him, and that pushed me to make him optional.
After that, my plans were to simply put him under the rug, have him get a girlfriend, and remove him from the story. He would have been replaced by another Dom bull, written properly (at least, I hope) from the onset.
But a lot of people have been asking for Oliver to come back. The issue is that I can't simply bring him back in the current situation, because a lot of people that would enjoy a Dom bull might have removed him from the story.
So, I'm left with three options, from which you'll be able to choose:
1 - I go back and improve Oliver from Chapter 21. I make him into a proper, respectful Dom bull, that may overstep sometimes (because he's not 100% used to it), but will fill his role properly. That would require a bit of work for it to be done properly, but would make the end result be the most cohesive.
2 - I don't touch the past Oliver. Instead, I bring him back "improved" (he has read about good practices, and is ready to be better), with the option for people who removed him to have him back. It's an interesting story, but it might feel a bit disjointed.
3 - As I planned initially, I simply remove Oliver, and replace him with another Dom bull. he got a girlfriend, he's happy, she's happy, you're happy.
I, personally, have no preference between these three options, so I'll follow whichever one you enjoy most.
