Ficwriting by committee

[extrapenguin]

I have thoughts on OCs that I'll eventually type up and post to fictional_fans, and a pile of links to share, but before that, since I have access to polls, let me ask you which fic I should write next! Results are nonbinding, but I'm interested people's opinions, especially if they come to hash things out in the comments, and tell me why I very clearly should write their favorite option. :P

Again, the poll is nonbinding, but after I've finished this Yuletide draft, I could do with another project to write. None of the above will be beneath 5k; I have outlines for three already, and a few k of one of them already (which stalled because aghhhh how do I Sunshot Campaign; the pause might've shaken loose some ideas).

I'm all in favour of Ye Zun redemption fic!

After posting this poll, it occurred to me that MDZS fandom isn't present at all on DW, whereas Guardian fandom is bouncing around merrily. *g* The potential results of the second poll, however, might be actually interesting.

Haha, I'm in favour of the Ye Zun redemption fic, too, but it looks like there might not be a huge amount of overlap in our preferences (going by the second half of your poll), so you should probably ignore me. ;-)

*cheers on your writing regardless* *\o/*

The other stuff is hooks to sink in to Ye Zun to force him onto the slippery slope of redemption, plus a few other random things I threw in because my Even The Kitchen Sink mind-imagining version occasionally contains them. (I haven't written anything for the fandom, so my first fic shall include all of the tropes, etc.) If you have other suggestions on how to drag him to morality kicking and screaming, go ahead. Some of the ideas behind the elements in the poll might work better in other stories. (And the BDSM and omegaverse won't coexist, that I can say for sure.)

Fair disclaimer: I'm not even in this fandom, I'm just compulsively required to vote for OT3s, sex pollen, and time travel. :D

[extrapenguin]

The modern AU dragons one might also be an OT3! I dunno. I'm also regretting the time travel option, as the idea bunny that said time travel was more along the lines of incidental time travel, and now everyone will think it's the main course. Sex pollen will be a go, though.

[krait]

I am far less attached to time travel than to sex pollen, so if one of them has to go, that'd be my vote. :D

[extrapenguin]

Sex pollen is a go, then! >:D
