October Patron Only Poll. (Patreon)

And like I said in the September Patron Only Poll response, is the October Patron Only Poll.  This will run until the 5th.  Fast I know, but my schedule is a bit up in the air this coming month, so I want to get started quickly on one of the monthly stories.

You will also note that as usual the winner from September is not on here. This is once more a rotating poll, so that all these stories, at least in theory, get an equal chance at winning.  

The choices this month are:

Making Waves – Ranma/Fairy Tail Crossover: After their first introduction to life in the Blasted Lands, everyone is second guessing their decision to come here, but also eager to move on. A direction is chosen for them when they see what looks like an orc, only not at the same time.  Later, after witnessing and being a part of the weirdest fight most of them have ever been a part of, a new threat in the form of a giant bird makes itself known, capturing Happy for dinner. A reluctant rescue operation is launched, taking the band of explorers through more ‘areas of weird’ like the first zone they ran into, only to discover the remnants of an ancient city that looks larger than any the Earthland natives have ever seen but which looks frighteningly familiar to Ranma, albeit far more crushed around the edges. There Juvia finds an enemy that looks far too familiar, and the Dragon Slayers find themselves in a conflict with the lone denizen of the shattered city, as Juvia and Happy explore.

Bhaalson Remodel – HP/Baldur’s Gate/Gamer crossover: After a brief respite, the Adventurers resume their attack, heading downward to find the last of the Heart Stones and the Dungeon Boss. Both the area where both items are found and the battle turns out to be nothing like what Harry and the others anticipated, as the Dungeon Boss calls in more assassin-type help. The battle is furious but ends with a pyrrhic victory as the enemies prove to be sore losers. The waters rise, and Harry falls with a few of his companions into it’s watery depths, while the others are forced to retreat. Imoen discovers a new ability from Harry’s Map, while Harry battles several new animals, bigotry and makes a new friend in a certain dusky-skinned distressed ‘maiden’. Tempers flair within the party and Imoen is forced to play peacemaker as they search for their friends and loved ones. Harry finds himself dragged into a few local issues in return for the help he needs for his companions, while his new friend proves both useful and distracting until they all meet up once more, with more clues to follow on their way to Beregost.

Sword, Bow and Horse – Ranma/Lord Marksman and Vanadis crossover: With the Silver Meteor Army battered, the Knightly Orders take over patrolling the gap, letting Ranma and the others retreat, hoping to rest and recuperate, despite many of the Knights asking some questions and wishing to discuss Ranma’s status as a archangel come to earth to defend Brune. A few romantic and comedic moments occur, pushing tensions and hormones to new levels, as Ludmila makes a choice. However, with his army once more on his own lands, Thenardier decides to push to attack them. With his dragons slowing him down, Ranma and Tigre lead a few smaller battles, holding the enemy’s first units at bay while a battlefield is found and the Knightly Orders decide to intercede. Despite all the preparation and planning however, the dragons remain a trump card that only the Vanadis and Ranma can deal with, leaving the rest of the battle to Tigre to control as Ranma tries to prove that a big enough woodpecker can down even a dragon. A final confrontation between the Rule of the Strong and the Rule of Honor happens, and, regardless of the outcome, Brune will be forever changed for it.

once more I'm going to vote for SBH.  I think that pausing that story after the next chapter is a great place to do so, and after that, I will cheerfully put out a MW chapter two months out of four until it's done.  But as always, you, my fans have a a say too, so let's see what happens.
