Side Story Poll - March 2023!

This is the poll of ‘the’. Because it needs a stupid theme and this is what I have. But lest you think I’m being silly—I am. And I am also telling you something.

Gather up. Sit down. Have a drink. Not the alcohol. Not yet. Maybe coffee. Listen.

We’ve had a nice Volume 9, haven’t we? After Volume 8, the volume where the latter half was all movement and action and so much outlining and planning—I am proud of it, but that was an intense Volume 8, wasn't it?

This one’s had a lot more slice-of-life, even if it is sometimes filled with development. I’ve put in a bunch and yes, there are storylines like Orjin and the Horns and whatnot, but I have checked my notes. And I realized I can put it off no longer.

All my notes are waiting on certain events to take place. And so—this poll has some side stories. Lots of tales I can work in later. And it also has the plot. You can see it. And it will be coming no matter which side story wins. But you have a choice! There’s always a choice, even in writing stories. If you want it, it’s right there. So go ahead and vote. It wasn’t a long enough break since I finished Volume 8. It never is. I could rest a year and maybe I’d be at full energy, but I like this pace.

When it’s time, we’ll begin moving forwards again, faster. From a walk to a jog. Go ahead and vote on this one and let me know where you’d like the next chapter to be.


The poll ends on the 30th so I can potentially make it next chapter. It's going to be fast.

I'm doing that shit now. And I agree. Fuck eigen values and fundamental and essential matrices

Nik

I identify with this

Eitan G.

Bro, i just got traumatized by looking at your name.... Fuck eigen Values,Vectors, and space 😵‍💫💀

SirDuckington

There is not a single option here that I would not gladly read as the next chapter.

ElectricintheForest

I have to say that I love the slice of life in this series

Felipe Arruda Pontes

Sad that the Bar will never win, I would want it sooner than later, but it will arrive eventually o/

Alex_Q

Khelt would be depressing, Antinium marching could be cool. I don't think anyone really cares about the lightning thief/griffin prince. Solstice knight would be more interesting than Kasinga.

Bob

i wish we could get an interlude for something like Griffin Prince or Lightning Thief which has barely gotten any focus but everyone’s voting for stuff that’ll get a chapter regardless

Celestial Thearch

Honestly I think there’s so much to explore from these last 2 volumes still that was only alluded too. I would love to see how some of these would connect back to main story. Archmage isle of Heiste called for help; the labyrinth’s of souls reactivated; Ksmvr’s teammate class and abilities that have yet to be used now that he’s back with team. What else is still a cliff hanger?

Jamie Messier

I would like to vote again for Order of Solstice Begins

Eitan G.

I love how we all want to see the Solstice Order. But I 'hate' how many other relevant, important, and interesting options there are. Honestly, the poll spoilers made it much worse. :(

Konrad2

You say that, but Pirate might just cancel winter solstice due to a lack of support.

John Koor

Definitely voting for the gay chapter and only the gay chapter.

Wingless

I've posted them in the comments here. :)

Patreon poll spoilers. These are provided to the $10 patreons and pirate has given permission for them to shared. The Days of Nerrhavia Falling — Slice of life. Zenol and Cognita and a nation being pressed on sides. But what is it actually like? Worldbuilding. Hopefully fascinating. The Strongest Returns — I want to show you the ending of this arc. I will finish it. I hope it makes you excited when you read it. The Prophet in Khelt — The cracks in the throne begin to show. Faith begins here. The Winter Solstice — This is about Kasigna. The Chemist (Delayed Chapter) — I will take an update off to write this one and run it through my chemist-readers to do this. Otherwise it will take quite some time because I need to work in advance. Months, perhaps, if I don’t do this right away. It’ll come eventually. The Gemlord of Salazsar — This one’s both sad and hopefully, inspirational. You cannot predict it. The Beach Chapter — It’ll be a beach. And fun. I promised it. But it’s also cold. The Curse of the Griffin Prince — Someone’s on their way. I cut this from earlier chapters. Now is a good time. The Spider won’t ignore this one. The Lightning Thief’s Daughter — Why? And what? And Vetn and Tesy are mixed up in it. The Antinium Marching — New Lands, as well as Olesm. It’s not ‘more war’. It’s something beginning as well. The Search for the Silver Dragon — New Lands from Ylawes’ perspective. Is he more popular now? The Shadows of Oteslia — Rickel was in a pickle. Now he’s mad. And the Gallowsmen are here. The Vale Forest Whispers — Something woke up. But who can see what’s going on? The New Lands — Time to go exploring at last. The Rulers of Jecrass — It’s hard. The King of Destruction is done, but Medain is still there and there are two rulers in one country. What’s going to happen? Is the war over just because someone said so? The Order of Solstice Begins — If he’s a [Knight], that means something. But this is no kindly Order. Nor easy quests. The New Bar of Pallass — Now there may be no return. But perhaps they’re tired of hiding, for all they’re still hiding. And is The Wandering Inn really going to be good at keeping secrets?

Wingless

What spoiler? o.O

Darkflint

After reading the spoilers for each option, I'm picking The New Bar of Pallass!

Wingless

Alright guys, we know what chapter comes next, but in what order do you guys think the rest will follow. In what order do you want to see the story unfold.

Lord M

All most too many things going on at the same time, i want to read all of it!

TB

Nah, they Order of Solstice will win, easily^^

Darkflint

IMO the best voting strategy is to pick the one that you don’t think you’ll see unless it wins. So don’t vote for Winter Solstice cause we’ll get it regardless.

Christopher

I am almost mad... almost. This is awesome. I would pick all of them if it made sense. Can we get at least half, pretty please? And thank you for being awesome!

Juraj Szitás

This is a whole lot to pick from. It was difficult to choose.

Charles T Martin

How do you even decide on this just at first glance i see 5 or 6 choices i really really want.

ChaosDancer

I want them all

Miraï

Well, yeah...

Miraï

I'm split between the winter solstice and the order of solstice.. Dead Gods and fairies, or Erin accidentally getting her own knights order.... It hurts to choose...

Joe Bland

oh wow., The Order of Solstice Begins is a popular choice :D

Qivel

I've never seen so much participation in a poll before. Jeez there's a lot of folks here.

Louis Nel

I know the Winter Solstice has to come, but let's put it off for a while shall we? Pretty please?

Christopher Judd

Had a chuckle when i saw the last choice, nothing will beat that

Rugger

How does no one want The Gay Chapter!!

Violet

I, too, vote for this option!

Aifos

There's just too much choice. They are all intriguing.

Jaya Flower

Gosh darn it none of the five I care about are even close. I resent the rabbiteater brigade.

meaxers

I can't believe more people aren't interested in the lightning thief.

Too many bears

RIGHT HOW CAN YOU BEAT A BEACH EPISODE

Julie Mason

I need more Ilvriss, please assist

Ralon17

Hard to beat goblins. Winter is a big one, and not so sure about the prophet.

Kyle merwin

We have a clear winner, I’m hyped

Lord M

We have a clear winner lol

Gavriel

vote for The Gays

Seerinx

I feel so overwhelmed!

angie bell

Damn. Too many good options

Erik Granby

Oh come on, the Norman chapter? I don't see how he's remotely as interesting as the other options a

Ram nevet

Yes- let’s do all these

Chris Phillips

there's too much options!?

OneAngle Heaven

The beach chapter could be New Lands related, so it might essentially be the same option as that.

SightandSound

Order is definitely what I've been waiting for the most but I want the chemist and the solstice and Khelt...

Nik

Too many options, im so dizzy. 😵

Intorn Songkittipong

There is no reality in which anything I vote for wins this poll

Nothingman

So is most of it except the beach.

ProSailor22

Omg so hard to pick... I want to read them all!!

Natalia Torres

Yo I’m curious about the chemist since it’s the only delayed chapter

Richard Davis ll

WE NEED BEACH CHAPTER TO WIN. Order of the Solstice is okay I guess but THE BEACH CHAPTER IS IMMINENT, AFTER SO LONG.

Webwoven

These all sound terrific! I want to read them all.

paulbwill64

REEEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OTESLIA I NEED TO KNOW

Rikk Silirion

Holy crap so many options! 😭

Case

So excited for any of these, great moments await!

Kayo Hinazuki

Bro please let the search for the silver dragon win. Y’all DONT NEED TO VOTE FOR ORDER OF SOLTICE ITS GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAYS!

Ethan Norton

damn it’s not as easy to choose as last time
