Replacing Interactive 8th Year (Patreon)

I've already been talking about this with patrons at the $5 and $10 tiers, but I figured I'd let all patrons know that we're more than likely going to make some modifications to the regular schedule going forward starting in February. The HP and non-HP general prompt polls will remain unchanged, but I'm strongly leaning towards replacing the themed prompt polls I've been doing with a new monthly interactive story of some sort. It'll function a bit differently than Interactive 8th Year in that rather than having patrons make nominations, the various poll options would be decided on by me and then you guys would vote on them. This will allow us to try and do something with a bit more of an actual plot behind it than Interactive 8th Year had, and it would also let us do it monthly to maintain momentum while not interrupting the HP and non-HP polls.

I'm still undecided on what fandom we'll set this story in. I may try and come up with a few different options and actually make that decision of which story idea we do function as the first poll for February, but that's still TBD.

I'll also use this space to point out that seeing as we hit the $500 goal this month, I will be choosing one of the first runner ups from one of the polls from this month to write as a bonus reward fic sometime late this month/early next month as promised.
