With Accidental Surrogate completed, we'll be doing something never done before—voting on one of my OCs to appear in the next short animation / series!
This time around, we're gonna do things a little differently. To begin with, we will vote on a character. Once a character wins, I will do another poll, this time with a selection of ideas for stories for that character. Once of those wins, it will be made. Should be simple enough, I think.
"Wait, Dim! So I can't offer ideas any more," you ask? Yes, you can—those in the $10+ tiers can offer suggestions in the comment sections below this poll and in the poll to choose which story gets made. If they fit the character and are something I think will make an interesting story, I'll put it into the authorial pot.
"Stop again, Dim! I don't like ALL of your characters! I don't want to be stuck with a huge series for someone I don't care for!" No worries, friend—this first month, I want to try a one-shot approach. Depending on how it goes, I may do one-shots for a few months, so no one character is hogging the limelight. Of course, if it appears that one character and their story is so loved then I will absolutely continue it. Perhaps I will do a poll once I've posted the one-shot, asking "should this be a series?".
"And no Janet?!" You had her for nearly 3/4 of a year. One month away from her will do us (and Janet) some good. "No Annie?!" Same. I will add Annie next month though, as I know she has her fans.
If you want any more details, feel free to ask, but I have learned my lessons from how I started Accidental Surrogate (remember when I called it "IVF SNAFU"? What an idiot) and this time, any series will start off better paced and more controlled. It should be fun!
So who are my OCs? I will list them from well-known(ish) to unknowns (some are so unknown, they don't even have names!). Feel free to go and view my past animations, get caught up on my OC lore (if there's much there at all) and see which of these you'd like me to revisit. I have put the name of their series / animation in parenthesises, but if you're not sure where to look, ask me:
