Vote on Understanding's Replacement (Patreon)

'Understanding Does Not Presage Peace' will be ending soonest out of all my stories, at this rate of updates, so it's time to decide what to slot in its place when the time comes. As most of you know, I have plenty of stories just waiting for me to get back to them. And as many of you also doubtlessly suspect, I have plot bunnies for new ones always living rent-free in my head.

Current unfinished stories I could see myself picking back up would be these, so follow the links and decide which you'd most like to see continued:

• Everything Everywhere One Thing at a Time (Harry Potter / Stargate Multicross)

• Master of Wood, Water and Hill (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings)

• Sons of Suns and Sands (Star Wars, Obi-Wan Time Travel)

• The Strategy of Godly Surviving (ASOIAF, Brandon Stark SI) - Sequel to This

• On the Shoulders of Scions (Mass Effect, Child Shepard Time Loop Interstellar-Style)

• Self-Made (Baldur's Gate 1&2, Forgotten Realms, Planescape Eventually)

Alternatively, I have enough interest to write one of the following instead

• A new Dragon Age Story - will start in Dragon Age I and will be Dwarf Noble-Centered if chosen. Not only did real-world political activism ruin that part of the late game, but the plot contradicts itself in several major ways just to kiss the ass of the 'good' king choice for the horrendously ill-thought out 'gotcha' epilogue (but that's an essay unto itself). Dwarf Commoner will also be part of main cast, while other wardens might show up but won't have primary roles.

• A 'new' Halo story? - I once tried to run a quest in Halo, called "Truth and Reconciliation'. Its premise was that the games were a simulation on Master Chief by Offensive Bias (Forerunner Super-AI that 'beat' the Flood the first time). Master Chief becomes aware of this through deductive reasoning - and OB's regular memory adjustments ceasing to work - and crashes the whole thing. John promptly wakes up just after his Spartan enhancement surgeries, some months before Harvest, and says 'Fuck the Librarian and the Geas She Rode In On.' I could see myself persuaded to turn this into a proper story.

• Nothing specific - instead of a dedicated story, I could instead just start a series of one-shots or multi-part plot bunnies as they come to me.
