Poll for Archive of Our Own Account (Finally)

Now, I've been considering, and I want to try something. I hope that's fine with all of you. Whichever story wins this poll will be worked on this month, the runner up next month, and so on, so forth for August, September, October, November, and December. So, the next poll will be in February, since January is the month of my birthday.

Which of these stories that I'm working on is your favorite?

"Batman Fanfiction" (the name is still yet to be decided)

Born to the Eternities

Rescue from PNF-404

The Hero Amid Ruins

The Last Knight

As always, thank you for any feedback like this.

[evilwizard]

admit it. you’re mad at me for secreting a black sludge that turned all the animals into bigger scarier animals

[jacebewewen]

[abraham-abigail-matthews]

No, just dissapointed you seem to think nature needs to be bigger and scarier. Your sludge is unnecessary to make nature scary.

Oh, by the way, sorry about the heroes currently left out. Just means there will still be 12 choices for some time longer. Also, should I combine the heroes in Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures? Thank you.

June Story Poll

Before this poll, I won't be putting a similar poll for July. I think I need a few breaks each year, since this has gotten a bit stressful. Thank you for your patience and interest. Anyway, for this one, I'm going to try simply putting the fanfiction titles as individual choices.

Batman Fanfiction

Born to the Eternities

Rescue from PNF-404

The Hero Amid Ruins

Poll Winner

And the winner is ... Pikmin Preview: It felt like an eternity passed, but soon she heard the beast climb back into whatever cavernous roof it had dropped from. Not wanting to get its attention, she crept through this final layer to where a stream of water had brought everyone else out of this nightmarish cave. As she approached it though, she saw Nayru lying out in the open, alive but unconscious. Next to her, with fists clenched, was Din. Once they crossed eyes though, Din put a finger against the bit of skin under his spine, signaling silence.

Din easily lifted the still unconscious Nayru, and Farore followed him to the fountain of water bursting into the sky. “It could be night,” Farore whispered as they got close, but Din didn’t answer for a few seconds except gulping nervously.

“We can try fighting those normal beasts,” Din sighed, none of the bravado previously clinging to his voice, “but when I tried to hit that thing … whatever it is, I can’t kill it. We have a better chance up there.” With that, Din rested Nayru in Farore’s arms and gulped to herself before stepping into the fountain. Not wanting for Din to be alone or to be alone when that thing wakes up, Farore followed, landing on some bare soil in the darkness of night.

I know I said I would be doing posts for each fandom I've been writing about, and I'm sorry I won't be doing that today but instead hopefully Thursday or so. I just learned today that the online class I'm in is even more ... interesting than I thought beforehand, which got me a bit bummed out.

May Poll

I'll repeat the dividing the number of votes each option gets by the number of already existing chapters. I will put a preview in about a week along with the usual polls to show which won.

Pikmin

Zelda (The NES based story, to be exact)

Magic: the Gathering

Batman

The Winner of >2 votes/chapter ... Legend of Zelda (surprise)

I have no idea how making these previews work, so this is the first bit. Feel free to tell me how to improve this bit / the story in general / any story really / how to do story previews. Thank you for looking at this.

“What kind of palace has these—woah!” Link yelped, dodging into an enclave as a cannonball at least four times his size barreled past. After entering, he found himself confronted by some odd statues that thankfully didn’t move. Link did make sure of that, tapping each with his sword a few times. He then found himself confronted by a couple of tentacle … seaweed … things that he easily hit with his sword until they exploded into a cloud of black smoke. From there, he wound up in a hallway with all sorts of enclaves on either side. There didn’t even seem to be any monsters attacking him. The only problem?

Giant. Balls. Of. Metal.

To Link’s relief, he soon found a bunch of rupees and decided to rest there. The ground was hard as rocks, but he soon found himself drifting to sleep.

Likely the Last Greek Olympian Poll

As a bit of background, we've been going through the list of olympian gods provided by the website theoi.com. Through these polls, there have been 11 chosen above the others (or tied with another). Now, which of these clearly popular gods do you see as the best, most interesting, one you would worship first if real, etc.? Truly, thank you for sharing your preferences and such.

Ares - "The great Olympian god of war and conflict."

Artemis - "the goddess of hunting, wild animals, childbirth, and children."

Charites - "the goddesses of joy, pleasure, mirth, beauty, dancing, feasts, ..."

Clio - "The Muse of historic writings."

Dionysus - "the god of wine, viticulture, and wild vegetation."

Eros - "The god of love and sexual desire."

Hera - "the goddess of women, and the leader of the ... gods of marriage."

Iris - "The goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods."

Peitho - "The goddess of persuasion and seductive speech."

Poseidon - "The King of the sea and one of the twelve ruling gods of Olympus."

Zeus - "the god of the sky, weather, kings, fate, law, and order."

Making a custom M:tG card for Tim Drake

I suppose there'll only be two options, so let's make this simple. Thank you for your patience and for voting.

WUBRG (every color)

Keep it as every color except Green

Voting ended onApr 7, 2025

[abraham-abigail-matthews]

Blue Pikmin Abilities

Now that color has been determined (Green-White-Blue), I suppose we can now see what abilities are most popular. First, I was thinking of making options to keep in mind their water breathing and swimming as well as the pikmin propagation. Anything I'm missing?

[abraham-abigail-matthews]

April Poll

For this month, I should probably explain something. For the past few months, these polls have been dominated by Legend of Zelda. I feel awkward with there being the same winner each time, and I might as well drop these polls if I need to remove an option due to it winning each time. So, I will be taking the number of votes and dividing that by the total number of chapters. I'll also be trying to do little previews so it can be easily seen which won. Hopefully this works. Thank you for your patience.

Batman

Legend of Zelda

Magic: the Gathering

Pikmin
