Chapter Poll -- May 2024!
Hello, it me. The hour has come again. Should I be offering polls if it's 1/3 of the current month's writing? Well, I tend to only offer stories I think I want and sometimes being forced to write a chapter I might not think is optimal pushes me. Unpredictability is the spice of stories, even for me.
...I made the mistake of asking members of the Discord server what to put on this poll. I'm gonna actually give some context to these options this time. I'll have the spoilers, but here were the prompts.
1. 'A chapter that foreshadows what Volume 10 is going to be about.' - A Tale with No Names.
2. 'MR4.' - Mating Rituals 4.
3. 'Goblins. One of the lads. Numbtongue, Rabbiteater...'
4. 'A chapter that shows us what's happening to everyone, not a deep dive into one perspective.' - Where Are You Now?
That last one is paraphrased. The others are not. With it, I am also going to throw in a few ones I think are germane to this poll and see what happens.
Spice. The variety of life. IT's going to be a FAST poll. Two days only! Vote and run! Can I see who votes for MR4? Know that at least some of these are highly experimental. Which is good! Two Rats was a highly experimental tale.

Whew missed this vote glad the one I would've voted for won. SHOW ME THE GOOOOOOLD!
MAAAAAATING RITUALSSSSSSS
What is MR3-MR4
Mating rituals
Kind of funny how spread the votes are. Pirate writes too many perspectives too well. I have favorites but none that are a disappointment.
Pls mr 3
A chapter with the gold, rabbiteter and nerrhavia would be great
I voted for Gold, Rabbiteater, and a theft in Liscor. All seem very interesting
I nintilly voted for everything, before i took the time to read the post and know what MR3 and 4 means!! Yay for MR3-4!! I have so many questions....
GOLD!!!!!!
Seconded!
What about the knights of Solstice ?
There are much better options. Seeing a legacy skill change hands and why. Watching an enchanted object get passed back and forth through the door in liscor, all about its tails. Seeing a list of skills appear somewhere in the beginning of a chapter would honestly be new. I sometimes can’t stand how we never see skills in the first half of a chapter we just see them earned not used. Is so annoying as a reader. Listening to the system get into an argument with someone other than Erin. Another cell phone call among Earthers. They seem aimless without goals now.
Can we have all of these please?
the mating rituals are just weird. Sorry but the one with the strap was a bit beyond my tastes. You do you though and write what you feel motivated to write about i can always just fast forward through them.
BEST POLL, I want everything but what do I want first? MR4 + MR3 are OVERDUE.
All these Chandrar chapters make me so keen for more Nerrhavia
She's been my absolute favorite new character. Voted...
Voted before I knew what MR stood for and now I can't seem to change. Doh!
Wait is it really rating ritual 3 and 4? 😂
these are all too good its hard to decide
Unapologetically putting my hat in the ring for mating rituals. I want maximum awkward!
Maximum awkward would be giving a two way or three way tie with one or two of the others for the rare combined chapter. Mr3 with curious case for instance. Think about it.
I’m really curious about some slice of life of Goblin Home ..? “Goblin’ home for dinner?”
I really want a mating rituals with Pirate's current writing chops!
Obligatory vote for Mating Rituals because the innworld deserves some spicy scenes, but yes please rabbiteater
Really, anything but mating rituals
I didn't mind the first mating ritual chapter but parts of the second one I just did not like. It doesn't seem to fit in with the story.
I'm sold on the Chemath Marble being a good tie-in to an architect tie in
a vote for rabbit is a vote for numbtongue and the BOYSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Vote for Rabbit !! Ra-bbit ! Ra-bbit !
A vote for MR3 + MR4 is a vote for more Erin being confused chapter's
I'm not cashing in MR4 until Erin meets Niers. Gotta at least leave room for the impossible.
Wow, I want all of these but MR. I think I'm partial to the gold, though. I know we'll get to Rabbiteater eventually. Without knowing more the theft one is probably the least compelling since I know basically nothing about it
sherelc and the trust watsmrsha are on the case
Wait, did you just confirm there will still be a break each month and we'll only be getting 3 chapters a month?
What's your point?
Rabbiteater is always the right choice!
Gold chapter is perhaps the cheapest of the choices. It just goes to highlight how quite a few people just hunger for power fantasies.
It's the way Pirate phrased it. It makes the idea sound cuter. And more attractive. All the Gold. Very few people are going to vote a curious case of theft in Liscor because there's no information about this and it's phrased in a very mundane way.
MR4 stands for Master Rank 4, in which Erin and Ulvama get filtered by a Shrieking Legiana
Vote for mating rituals!
Vote for mating rituals!
Curious case of a theft in Liscor sold me with its title. Sounds like a fun slice of life chapter.
I'll throw a write-in vote for the grass shell bee-cave plot.
Throw in a vote for mating rituals!
What’s MR3/4?
Mating Rituals 3 and 4
No option for no more side stories?
Mating rituals 4 is a side story lol
Evil empress plotting
I really want to see the clash between Flos and Nerrhavia. To see Flos maybe humbled.
I feel dumb not knowing what MR4 means
Mating rituals 4
What does MR3/4 stand for?
Mating ritual 3 and 4
I really want to see the princes go on a spending spree. Hopefully building that inn that the dead architect designed and other things to make the inn OP
I voted for 2
Gold, Gold, and even more GOLD.
