Poll: So, what's next? (Patreon)

So, what's next?

As I wrote before, I had hoped that by February I would have a clear idea of how to proceed and which story to focus on. Well, the opposite is true, and reading your comments makes me more and more inclined to continue both stories in February - too few chapters to decide on one of the stories. But no longer at such a frequency of posting chapters, i.e. three chapters per week. I was only able to do this because I had already released several chapters of Ratchetmare for the Tier 3 Patreon, to whom I would like to say a big thank you for their patience and understanding.

.

Regardless of the story, only two chapters per week in February. After my December hiatus, I'm back on track - I feel like I could write three chapters a week, but definitely not with two stories to focus on, and I definitely don't want to promise anything like that.

.

I'm also toying with an idea and would like to see what you think about it. As you probably know, I don't write my stories according to a fixed outline. The story unfolds under my fingers as I write. So I was wondering if you would be interested in having a little more control over what happens, in the sense that you would create something like an outline for me. Not completely random, of course. I would give you a choice of options and stuff. Something like Eirlys finds her way to the surface, or she stays underground - very simplified. I don't have it all worked out, just an idea I thought I'd throw in here. Feel free to tell me it's bullshit.

.

Without further ado, here's the poll. Choose as many choices as you want.

.

Ups: I forgot to write a bit more about those two stories.
.
Grandora: As you probably already understood, Eirlys should be able to control the abilities of two Grand beasts eventually - an interesting combination, perhaps? The death of the Grand Fox will continue to play a role. She will come to the surface - meet people. Dangers from both men and beasts.
.

Rathetchmare: I don't want it to be a story about Nika taking care of the alchemist's business. But his potions will play a big role in her life, and eventually they will put her in the sights of powerful people, maybe even send her on an adventure...involving Grand Workings.
