October Small Story Poll (Patreon)

And here is the small Story Poll!  It will last until the 22nd.

A Fate Touched In Middle Earth – HP/Tolkien Crossover: Azog launches his attack at the alliance of dwarves, men and elves. Archers duel as Harry unveils his defensive schemes and he and Gandalf show off a bit. The front buckles, but according to plan rather than enemy action, pulling back to a prepared position.  But Azog proves craftier than any orc before, pushing an attack from an unlooked for direction while utilizing trolls, an enemy few can beat in close quarters. Harry uses a new type of magical attack to… enlightening results. The dwarven and human battle line breaks under pressure, but Thorin and his forces plug the hole, saving many dwarves, elves and humans alike. Crows prove annoying, causing death and disorientation alike, while the elves start to take losses to Azog’s surprise assault, forcing Thranduil to make a choice. The battle turns this way and that until aid looked-for only by one old man arrives from the air and from the forest arrive, once more giving life to the defenders. Then Thorin finds himself face to face with his old nightmare…

Stallion of the Line – Ranma/One Piece crossover: A few days out from Water 7, the crew see an island that isn’t the one their Log Pose is pointing towards. Unwilling to let this prime opportunity for training pass by, the crew deal with another pirate crew, putting Eve’s rail gun to use for the first time. An odd family is discovered, while Chopper learns that when it comes to training Ranma does not take ‘no’ for an answer. During a week of training time, Robin confronts Ranma about his secrets, as elsewhere, several pirates crews run into a certain Magma-brained Admiral, with, alas, predictable results. Leaving the ‘island’ behind after Franky has built the weird family a ship, the Everlasting Resolve moves on, only to discover itself in a massive, impenetrable fogbank. Nami pulls her hair out and then screams bloody murder for an entirely new reason when a ghost ship appears out of the mist with a very alive skeleton aboard. News and tales are exchanged, the crew learning about the danger waiting for them in the fog, which Ranma replies to in his tried and true manner: by deciding to go looking for it, unaware the danger is much greater than he thinks…

Magic of the force – SW/HP crossover: While the war is still stuck in third gear, Harry and Aayla head to meet with Master Gallia at her space station before heading on to Ruusan. At both stops they are welcomed and discover that they are not the only ones who have been very, very busy. The Ruusan Sector’s representatives tell Harry and the others of certain moves they have made declaring formal war on the Confederacy and proves to, surprisingly, be in the position to contribute ships rather than simply resources and personnel. What Master Fay and Lily have been up to astonish Harry and Aayla even further, although not nearly as much as being within the field of Fay’s Force Font does the younglings and Jedi with them. Some of Fay and Lily’s work, however, have long-reaching implications, having created an entirely new way for the Force to shows its power: potions. Meanwhile, Anakin finishes his retraining in the temple to Mace’s satisfaction if not happiness. Spending time with family and introducing Ahsoka goes by quickly, but soon Harry and the others need to return to the wider universe, as the war starts to ramp up once more.

Horse for the Force – SW/Ranma crossover: While Wayland is further reinforced and progress continues to be made breaking the various computers within the mountain, Shaak and Ranma decide to take several of the Blades crew and their two padawans out on a family excursion to the planet’s equator. At Keala’s instigation she and the other three youngsters try to establish a pecking order, with somewhat astonishing results, and Ranma and Shaak have a bit of husband and wife time in an oddly idyllic area with Janice giving them the time by working all the others into the ground (and threatening them with HK). Elsewhere, Thrawn and Master Fay make contact with the High Council, and Thrawn officially becomes the Jedi’s Fleet Admiral, taking control of some of the allied forces, correctly discerning where a CIS fleet is about to attack and countering it. At the same time, back on Wayland, Master Vos and Obi-Wan talk, before Master Saa comes by. A betrayal most foul occurs as Jedi die to one of their own, and Vos attempts to complete his mission…
