Chapter Poll -- May 2024!
Added 2024-04-28 20:02:57 +0000 UTCHello, 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!

2024-04-30 14:52:27 +0000 UTCKind of funny how spread the votes are. Pirate writes too many perspectives too well. I have favorites but none that are a disappointment.

Chargcake
2024-04-29 20:38:35 +0000 UTCI voted for Gold, Rabbiteater, and a theft in Liscor. All seem very interesting
NinjaChicken
2024-04-29 18:31:57 +0000 UTCI 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....

Fitty Sebum
2024-04-29 11:38:44 +0000 UTCThere 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 canβt 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.

2024-04-29 09:17:11 +0000 UTCPeople don't hunger for power fantasies, they hunger for their favorite characters. So the more Yelroan the better.
dibjuv
2024-04-29 09:16:36 +0000 UTCActually it's one of those dual POV chapters following Mrsha and Ryoka
dibjuv
2024-04-29 09:13:51 +0000 UTCI think its more that a ton of tings are happening in and around Liscor. New magic school, political troubles, dryad storyline, refugee (vampires, necromancers), goblinhome nearby, a lot of storylines can be advanced. And yes, some wealth fantasies.
Rene Christensen
2024-04-29 05:40:22 +0000 UTCTaints the integrity of the story for me, LotR would be cheapened by awkward shoehorned sexual fanservice for example. write it if you have to, but I'd prefer it be a whole separate page it releases on away from the "main" story, or simply write an entirely unrelated smut story if you're looking for an outlet for that.
Zack
2024-04-29 04:51:14 +0000 UTCCan we have all of these please?
Ocean Demon
2024-04-29 03:02:10 +0000 UTCthe 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.

2024-04-29 02:27:24 +0000 UTCBEST POLL, I want everything but what do I want first? MR4 + MR3 are OVERDUE.
Eric Huber
2024-04-29 01:15:22 +0000 UTCThe caption on Patreon was a bit different from my email alert for whatever reason. Looks like Lyon or Rabbit got this in the bag anyway.
Scott Soper
2024-04-29 01:06:02 +0000 UTCWait is it really rating ritual 3 and 4? π

2024-04-29 01:03:56 +0000 UTCShe's been my absolute favorite new character. Voted...
Scott Soper
2024-04-29 00:32:11 +0000 UTCAll these Chandrar chapters make me so keen for more Nerrhavia
Rahul Victor
2024-04-28 23:50:15 +0000 UTCVoted before I knew what MR stood for and now I can't seem to change. Doh!
Scott Soper
2024-04-28 23:45:03 +0000 UTCI 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.
Eilluna
2024-04-28 23:31:23 +0000 UTCthese are all too good its hard to decide
ScubaSteve
2024-04-28 23:25:51 +0000 UTCMaximum 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.
Valderan
2024-04-28 23:22:53 +0000 UTCI'm not cashing in MR4 until Erin meets Niers. Gotta at least leave room for the impossible.
FittestOstrish
2024-04-28 23:11:43 +0000 UTC? there always was a monthly break? And is it really 3 chapters a month when 2 out of the 3 are long enough for 2 parts each?
JC
2024-04-28 22:37:03 +0000 UTCUnapologetically putting my hat in the ring for mating rituals. I want maximum awkward!
Wingless
2024-04-28 22:36:34 +0000 UTCYeah, but that also defeats the point of fewer releases. 4x30k chapters a month would be a significantly lighter load than previous, and the reason for fewer releases was to allow more rest time. That's not happening now. Pirate's just going to burn themselves out by setting a standard of even bigger chapters. I'd be fine with 3x20-30k chapters, then a short (10k or less) chapter during the last week of the month. I don't want massive chapters, I prefer a smaller chapter weekly. That way it fits into a pattern. 10 day periods (now 14) between posts just suck. I need my TWI fix, and like a toddler with a bag of candy I'm not going to be able to resist reading everything I'm given ASAP, unless it's a sidestory not involving main characters (like the long back to back Rheim arcs of the early volumes).
John Koor
2024-04-28 22:17:50 +0000 UTCI really want to see the clash between Flos and Nerrhavia. To see Flos maybe humbled.
sambee
2024-04-28 22:15:07 +0000 UTCYeah, but on the other hand every chapter so far since the change has been as long as the longest chapters on the old schedule, or split into two parts. I'm sure that won't always be true but like, we're getting even bigger better chapters because they're more rested.
Aliased
2024-04-28 22:06:14 +0000 UTCIβm really curious about some slice of life of Goblin Home ..? βGoblinβ home for dinner?β
Len
2024-04-28 22:03:11 +0000 UTCIs 90k+ words a month too few for you? I'd be extremely curious to know what author out there giving you more to read each month than pirateaba?
Robert Mullins
2024-04-28 22:02:09 +0000 UTCI really want a mating rituals with Pirate's current writing chops!

2024-04-28 21:06:44 +0000 UTCA vote for MR3 + MR4 is a vote for more Erin being confused chapter's
Southernwind
2024-04-28 20:50:53 +0000 UTCWow, 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
Zach
2024-04-28 20:50:36 +0000 UTCWait, did you just confirm there will still be a break each month and we'll only be getting 3 chapters a month?
John Koor
2024-04-28 20:46:46 +0000 UTCOR it could be about the golden thronebearers and a calfanferian princess other than the one currently reigning over an inn. Many possibilities! :D
Petricorde
2024-04-28 20:43:42 +0000 UTCIt would be real funny if it ended up being bait like you suggest
ComradeB
2024-04-28 20:43:15 +0000 UTCGold being of course the short version of 'Gold adventurers', this chapter will give us an overview of what's happening to every Gold adventurers in the story, as well as one (1) Princess of the author's choice. /jk
Petricorde
2024-04-28 20:41:48 +0000 UTCGold chapter is basically all I want right nowm

Matija MiloΕ‘eviΔ
2024-04-28 20:31:32 +0000 UTCIt'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.
Alina Zhou
2024-04-28 20:29:49 +0000 UTCGold chapter is perhaps the cheapest of the choices. It just goes to highlight how quite a few people just hunger for power fantasies.

2024-04-28 20:27:38 +0000 UTCMR4 stands for Master Rank 4, in which Erin and Ulvama get filtered by a Shrieking Legiana
