Work the Poll: Lost Episode Scripts

So... with about 18 scripts in active development (8 episodes, 4 POVs, 2 comics, and 5 Bone Us episodes--yes I know the math doesn't math, I'm debating a two-parter, shush), we've now reached a point where we've officially got dead scripts.

Ideas that just went nowhere got pushed by the wayside, didn't meet my standards, were not sexy enough, were too kink-centric, etc. Them dead.

As I discussed on the server (plugitty plug plug plug) I'd post them all, but each one requires their own sort of clean up and formatting before posting. So, let me know which of these sounds the most interesting, yeah?

  • High Stakes Grabakka: The most complete one written, and one I'm not convinced I'll pass up and might revive one day. The precursor to Fear and Loathing in Asmodaeva, Soddorom takes Yuki to a casino world. Unlike the comic, this turned out to be far more dialogue-centric. I think it fell by the wayside in the whole Slave Yuki saga because it felt like filler, with somewhat crowbarred in significance in the end that never satisfied me. Issue 1 of the Yuki comic fixed that in my eyes, and served the purpose of introducing Nyda.

  • Old Gangsters: Phoraxis Yuki episode, sort of the middle chapter to the whole Phoraxis saga (and how she left), before deciding it was punchier to cut to the chase and write an episode that focused on Yuki's relationship with Xiltan. This one hurt the most to cut.

  • Sex and Violence: A full Yuki, Xarong, and Nyda episode had many forms and I've been working on its plot since... 2021? I finally found the most economical way to tell it now, here, in 2024, but before then I twiddled a lot. If I could attempt to diagnose why it fell out of favor for me, I think it was too many characters, and felt more like a vignette in the trio's life than anything climactic as I had hoped. Eventually, the idea of a vignette about the throuple became Issue 2 of the comic.

So, what shall it be? What should I clean up and present? It'll probably be 3-5 pages of script with a summary of incomplete events and why it was cut—nothing crazy.
