September Small Story Poll 2022 (Patreon)

Okay guys, here is the first poll for next month.  This will be followed tomorrow by the patron only poll... which I need to think about.  I want to push forward ATP and Horse in September, so we will see how that goes LOL.   so I need to work out how much time each will take first.  Here, though I already have the chapters outlined. 

I also have to give a SHOUT OUT to Justlovereadin'!!!! He is back, which means Making Waves can come back in September too, if things work out. More importantly, it means he finished his latest tour with the navy and is back from it.  Give him a salute folks.

And now on to the actual poll:

Fate Touched in Middle Earth- HP/Tolkien crossover: Harry and young Estel become the latest in a long line of people to learn that no, a straight line does not mean a faster journey, first running into trouble with a river, then trees then uppity trees in that fashion. Harry attempts to deal with this as any wizard would deal with an angry wooden opponent, Estel persuades him to not becoming a human deforestry project, whereupon they meet a certain singer, and the River Daughter. No one’s fool, Harry questions both their current forms, which results in much amusement (for him and them, not so much Estel), and Harry is given some help with his nightmares. Which promptly fails as he and Estel find themselves coming out of the woods into the Barrows. There, Harry and Estel find themselves pressed by the dead, who seem to have it out for Estel. The pair get through it, with Estel being given a few new toys. This does not save Harry from his mother’s wrath, but much like any storm it is soon over, and Harry is once more on his way, leaving Estel behind to her tender mercies. A journey through the mountains passes with another tiny bit of excitement, but Harry finally arrives within the boughs of Mirkwood, finding his lady waiting under the moonlight.

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. Political chicanery continues apace, while an unaware Ranma has romantic times with both Valentina and Lim, finding unfortunately that they are not as sanguine about sharing him and they might once have evinced, and that his own emotions are very much being torn in two directions. When it breaks, Ranma, annoyed and thoughtful from the weekly bickering, makes his way out to find Sofy to both check in with her and ask for advice, 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…

{I am posting chapter 11 of this over on fanfic as you read this, which brings that fic up to it's last chapter written, thus allowing me to shift it to here.  Call it an experiment this month...}

Magic of the Force- HP/SW crossover: War dominates discussions in the halls of power for better or worse on all three sides of the war, while the news of Ord Cestus, though small, puts heart into people and allows the Senate to issue a series of ultimatums to the High Command. A member of Clan Saa and her Master get a new assignment as Aayla proves she remembers all her Master’s teaching about being sneaky. Ahsoka, meanwhile, shows Potter Luck has nothing to do with blood, and strategic visions are discussed, with the Dooku Training Center turned to a new purpose. Several campaigns begin, and perfectly made plans on paper quickly run into this thing called reality. Nonetheless, the war grinds on, while in the shadows of chaos, Kas and Mak come closer to finding what they seek. An assassination occurs, while fleets clash, and Padme tries to sway the hearts and minds of the senate. Harry and Aayla find themselves embroiled in a political argument while Valahari comes under attack, and the Tyrant’s Bane fights sneaky.

I think I'll vote for Fate if I vote in this.  Just to prove to myself that yes, I know Tolkien better than Amazon LOL.  I read...

This poll will end on the 16th.  Hopefully that will be enough time to work on ATP and Horse... goodbye free time, I knew you well...
