Discussion: How should we handle an eventual third monthly poll fic? (Patreon)
Content
I was planning to open up discussion on how a third monthly poll fic would be handled once we reached the $360 level ($40 from the $400 goal I set for it.) We actually jumped up to $365 overnight, so let's get a move on, shall we?
I don't have a firm plan in place on what form the third poll might take when we do reach and maintain the $400 mark, other than that it should be something beyond just an additional general prompt poll. Frankly I figured it would be another month or two at least before we even got this close to it and I needed to start thinking about it seriously, but we've had some really nice growth lately which happily means it's time to start talking about it. It may very well take quite some time to get the rest of the way there, but I want to be prepared whether it happens in six months or next month. I do have some ideas:
- I (or possibly a patron) come up with a general theme for the poll each month. Examples: blowjobs, outdoor sex, arranged marriage, girl on top, etc. In certain months this could be built around holidays or a character's birthday too. Once the theme was set, patrons of $5 and above would make their nominations for the poll as normal, only each nomination would have to take that month's chosen theme into account.
- A specific character or fandom is chosen by me (or perhaps voted on by the higher tier patrons), and all nominations would need to feature that character or fandom. So maybe one month it would be a My Hero Academia poll, the next Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the next Star Wars. Or if it's built around a character, one month it's Momo Yaoyorozu, the next Buffy Summers, and the next Princess Leia, for example.
- We skip the nomination process altogether and jump straight to the poll, which is comprised of a series of prompts from various fandoms and characters that I come up with.
- We return Harry's Interactive 8th Year to the monthly rotation, so both it and the general Potter prompt poll would be monthly events along with the non-Potter poll. This would continue until the conclusion of Interactive 8th Year, and it would then potentially be replaced by a new ongoing interactive idea to be decided on later.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, and I'm not saying we only have these options to choose from. This is simply what I've come up with thus far, but I want to hear from all of you as well. Let me know how you feel about these, and if you have another suggestion to make, please share it. I may eventually put up an informal poll to gauge what seems to have interest and what doesn't, but we'll see.
