Hey there everyone, your resident novelist Saber here~
I come to you all today with a simple question. It requires no outside thoughts, responses, or anything else of the sort; which means essentially you don't have to write a single word about the subject and also that I don't plan to read much if you do respond. All my question requires is a very simple, and very practical, button click! The proposition I bring forward today will not only allow you all to affect me and what I do, but also what happens IC.
Now, as you all know I plan to level Saber up very quickly and am going to be taking full advantage of the 30 AP - Solo Credits which are available every week. As such, I have plenty of ideas for solos but there is a condition; you guys get to influence what happens in them. Sure, I'm writing a novel on the site and playing by myself, but this gives you guys all a chance to at least make things interesting.
So here is my concept that I leave for you all to accept or deny. Which ever you choose as a collective is up to you. It is what it is. I will not change any information from here even if you give me a sound idea. I give you what I'm doing to do, and you choose what to do with it. If majority say no, I go on about my life soloing as usual. If the majority say yes, then keep an eye out for some solo-action. The concept is very simple. 30 AP is essentially 7.5k words or one very long solo if I choose to do it, which I have almost done this week before coming up with this idea. However, that 7.5k words has multiple breaks in it where things can change and the outcome can be easily flexed. That is where you all will come in.
At the beginning of each week (Sunday - Tuesday) I will post up a certain portion of my weekly solo. At the top of it, there will be a poll with a specific number of choices available that can be picked. The choice which has the most votes by Friday (or Thursday depending on my work schedule, the day will be noted at the top) will be written out and posted up for you all to see within my short time frame. So depending on when I post the solo, you all may have more or less time to make your selection, so make sure you're quick! Further, only one person actually needs to vote on the solo. As long as there is a majority, I will use that choice and write it out.
Be aware; I withhold the right to not create a poll if I choose to. The solos are my work, and if I want them to go a specific way, then the poll may not be there and the solo will just be a simply short story. The choices are not negotiable and what is put up is what you will have to choose from (Ex. If the solo is a fighting solo, don't expect me to put up a choice saying he went on a date with a goblin). I may have a big imagination, but plot is still plot and I have to keep everything within the confines of my Character's personality. I also have the right to decide to write something else entirely. The options are there for me to gauge what you guys would like to read so I'm not just spamming the board with tons of words (even though that's what I'm practically doing). I want you guys to actually enjoy my writing rather than just look at the massive wall of text and steer clear of it.
This is a chance for you guys to influence what I'm writing and maybe you'll be able to see Saber do some things you want him to do rather than all the stuff I want him to do. I personally enjoy putting my characters into different situations and like to put them into some serious pain; both mentally and physically. By giving you guys the ability to make the choices for me, that opens the door for you guys to choose whether you want to see Saber be pounded to a pulp, or if you guys want to see me show my gentle side. Hey, if you're lucky, you might cause some serious plot havoc too.
The poll for this ends next Tuesday at midnight (Wednesday morning) and a Trial-Run Solo is on the verge of being posted up at this moment. I will edit in the link, and it will be available for viewing shortly. Make your choice here, and if you're unsure of how it will work, then you'll get to see it in action. Feel free to change your answers as many times as you wish between now and the designated date of poll-expiration. The moment the poll closes, the voting will be over and the fate of the proposal will be sealed. Choices other people have made will not be made public until the voting expires as to not influence any one's choices. I won't even know until it expires most likely. Feel free to speak about the choice you made, as publicly announcing it is your business and not mine.
Other than that, good luck peeps. May the best choice win.
