Patron Only Poll, March 2022 (Patreon)

…And here is the Patron only poll.

Before we begin though, guys. Since several of you mentioned it in the latest questions segment, I want to point out that Making Waves is indeed on-hold. Justlovereadin’ has been my beta reader for that fic from practically the moment it began and has had a MAJOR impact on it. So much so he has forced me to change the overall plot in several ways and is just a major resource of Fairy Tail borders. Because of this, when he requested that I put it on hold in January until he could return from a tour at sea, I agreed to his request. Justlovereadin’ serves in the navy, and I wish him all the best and hope he comes home safe.

With that said, the choices are:

Bhaalson Remodel – HP/Baldur’s Gate/Gamer: Imoen leads the party the best she can, while talking magic and power with Dynaheir and Edwin, running into problems both bandit and terrain related. One issue of each in particular prove to be particularly troublesome as they attempt to pass through the terrain directly east of Nashkel mines. Meanwhile, Viconia wakes up after the first safe night’s sleep she’s had since coming to the surface, with healing spells at her fingertips and questions galore. Oaths are exchanged along with stories as Harry’s crippled Status and Jaheira’s head wounds are dealt with. The two get to know one another, while Viconia asks some very interesting questions, making Harry wonder exactly how malleable his ‘Blood Magic’ is. With Jaheira now able to be moved, Harry becomes a people carrier, and the trio start to move towards the green arrows, running into mage doing experiments on ooze, while the arrows become dots only for other red dots to pop up out of nowhere.

Semblance of Hope – Ranma/RWBY crossover: Now with their goal in sight, Ranma and team JNPR map out the area, making contact with a scout bullhead after killing more S-class Grimm. With the go-ahead given, they move into the city, killing more S-class Grimm. Forced to flee, the five are then ambushed by Clan Branwen but fight their way free. Cinder and the Hunter Teams come in via airdrop, and the five of them move to support the assault on the city, only to realize quickly that the Grimm are not playing fair, and hordes have been waiting beyond the valley. Clan Branwen attacks once more, further complicating matters, as does the appearance of Hazel and Tyrian. The battle becomes wild and general, as Cinder, faced with this opportunity must decide if her loyalty is to her ambition or Salem, and Ranma finds himself fighting both Grimm, another Maiden, and an assassin who just won’t go away.

Climbing Together -Ranma/King of Fighters/Street Fighter crossover: After only a few days spent in the woods, Shampoo and Ranma learn their Panda-shaped stalked is on the trail nearby and decide to leave quickly. As said Panda man is given yet another lesson in humility, Ranma and Shampoo learn of a new martial arts style and they make a detour back the way they had come. Heading out to the island of Sado, they meet Mai Shiranui in less than ideal circumstances, while learning only women can learn the local Rope-based martial arts. This doesn’t deter them, and after a series of issues, Ranma learns a few new techniques, Mai becomes a friend, and they traumatize several perverts before heading south once more, this time heading for Mai’s home, to learn some of her style, while Ranma and Shampoo share theirs. A certain dog-boy makes an appearance, and the Human Weapon also shows up. Matches are had, while a certain trauma rears it’s head at a most inopportune time.

Sword, Bow and Horse – Ranma/Lord Marksman and Vanadis crossover: After taking a sabbatical from interacting with other people as only Ranma could, the trans-dimensionally displaced martial artist heads north in search of Lim and Valentina. Arriving on the heels of both winter and a war’s end, Ranma finds Valentina first. A heart-to-heart discussion proves enlightening, while the events after prove arousing, before Lim arrives to interrupt things. A fight ensues until Ranma puts his feet down, whereupon it becomes a free-for-all, with the loser being Valentina’s castle. Elsewhere, a demon in human form begins to spread his influence through Muozinel, which is still reeling at it’s defeat in the war against Brune. While a demon contemplates that, winter goes on. When it breaks, Ranma, annoyed and thoughtful from the weekly bickering, makes his way out to find Sofy, only to learn she is being sent on a mission to Asvarre. Racing to join her, he is barely able to board the ship before it leaves, taking Sofy and Ranma out to a new adventure…

Yes, there is only one HP choice here in comparison to three of Ranma. My reasons are thus:

1, I want to see how well Climbing Together does in a matchup to two very different stories and how SOH does at all. If SOH loses badly again, I will put my attempts to bring it to a conclusion on hold until I can bring back the idea of episode-sized updates.

2, ATP is being updated anyway.

3. I want to see if Bhaalson Remodel does better now that I’ve finally introduced the first love interest. If not… well, that will show me this fic is one that I should only update when my muse grabs me and won’t let go.

4. This way, when one story wins and I remove it, I can slot in King of Champions and give that fic a chance while keeping the revelation of equality

And, well, as mentioned in the other poll, flexibility is good. I’d rather like to go back to the old 2R:2HP setup, and would like to have two over on fanfic and two here on Patreon too. So unless Bhaalson Remodel still loses horribly, that could be a possibility.
