Content

Multi-options will be enabled, but the top two picks will be rerun into a follow-up poll next week.1-A Ballad of Snow and Flames (Name Pending): A semi-dark story featuring time-travelling Rhaella x Jon Snow.

Rhaella dies giving birth to Daenerys, only to wake up young again, right before she is condemned to a life of suffering by her parents, who themselves chose love over duty. In her fervent desire to get away from her fate as Aerys' wife, the young Rhaella desperately rushes into the world of magic, blood, and the divine, but playing with time and other forces beyond her understanding has consequences: her unsuspected grandson who is lingering between life and death after betrayal most vile is hurled in a foreign time and place.A medium-sized story.2-The Bloody Rush: A crossover story featuring an older Ron Weasley, whose personal life turns into a veritable disaster, dies, only to wake up as the oldest living son of Hoster Tully. Pairing: Ron x Lyanna. Focus on politics, interpersonal relationships, magic-lite, and the clusterfuck that is Aerys' reign.A medium-sized story.3-The Black Lily: A crossover story featuring Harry Potter x Fleur Delacour reborn in Dance Era Westeros as a Blackwood and a Bracken, respectively. Rivals to lovers. A greater focus on magic exploration, with all the eldritch present in ASOIAF, as well as fiefdom building and Riverlands/royal court tensions and politics.Instead of Cedric, Fleur reaches the cup second, but Pettigrew butchers the entry into Little Hangleton's graveyard as he manages to kill both Fleur and Harry, who were busy squabbling over the cup.Probably going to be quite a sizable story spanning many years.4-The Snowy Riddle: A crossover story featuring Jon Snow reborn in the late 70s in magical Britain to a Muggle father named Riddle, featuring a Muggle-born Slytherin Jon Riddle x Hestia and Flora Carrow in the barrel of gunpowder that is magical Britain during Voldemort's Second Rise.

Hey Gladiusx, seems like the size details of the last story might have gotten cut. But whoa if I’m not excited for another long epic with more MAGIC!

Yo I wanted the Black lily last time but a Ron centric FF is rare, it’s a hard decision, that’s Jon in Slytherin story sounds legit too

Mandragoran

I voted for the first one, but any of them except the second one sound great. I’ve just never been a big fan of Ron as a character. I almost voted for the HP x Fleur one because I love that pairing, but I love Jon Snow and it doesn’t seem like he’d make an appearance in that story lol

servantSaber

I feel Ron needs some love, and it is very rare to see him as the MC.

CrackCocaineDemon

I‘d prefer a story without jon as the protagonist personally. Since we already had him as one multiple times. Personally i‘d also love a star wars story from you.

D C

That ron story sounds unique, thats a cool opportunity.

Rick Malone

Rare that I would like to see all suggestions for an authors next story poll

Garri Sarkisov

Exciting ideas. I like all 4. If given option I would prefer either 2 or 3. You have talent and can do them all. I believe in you.

TinyRick429

If Black Lily wins I would love to see what Eldritch horror you conjure up for Harry to deal with. Will this Harry be the normal one with the same knowledge he has in canon, or will he be a AU Harry that will at least have some common sense and logic unlike in the books/movies? There's another SI that I'm reading that the author has done some awesome things with the gods/magic of the Game of Thrones world. If you haven't read "The Tartered Dragon - Aegon, Son of Baelon" by mootjeman7, it is a story I highly recommend.

Belkin0408

All of them sound good, but I went for the 1st one. Their are so few Rhaella stories which is the draw for me, if not for that I’d probably go with black lily

Arfak

Is there any picking an option E that'll have CoF chapters released every week rather than every other week?

Edmeister

Dang. I really hope Rhaella wins. That sounds like such an interesting premise. But I also wouldn't be mad if Harry and Fleur win. That also sounds interesting.

Alastor999

Ah yes, I remember Black Lily from the last poll. I chose the current No Joy in Command last time. This time I wanna see Harry and Fleur play Romeo & Juliet and fuck up the Dance era Targs

Honestly none of them really appeal to me. I'll be voting for the Jon Snow time travel one again this time around, simply because your far better at writing ASOIAF in comparison to Harry Potter, your main harry potter story is well written, but I couldn't stand it in the end because of all the super special adult acting 12 year olds who were capable of actually competing with a literal 17 year old Harry, it felt like you got most of your information from fanfiction over the books in that story, and I'm not interested in a repeat. Quite frankly, it's galling how many people go on about Harry as if he's this incompetent when the kid had literally two teachers in those 7 years who taught properly when it came to actual combat with magic. Yet even then, by 17 Harry was regularly beating down inner circle death eaters, and might not have been Voldemort's equal in a fight at that point, but He was still above pretty much everyone else. People look down on normal Harry Potter magic without understanding it when they write for it, and it's just lame.

Are those really all the options? I guess the one that appeals to me the most is The Black Lily, but I’m hoping for other options too — no offense.

Kevin Choi

I think the Black Lily is the best story idea. However, as much as I like you as an author. Portraying culture nuance and subtlety has never been your strong suit. I think that would also be your most challenging story. Example. Ignoring Jon's right to rule and not having him be a consort of his wife... and still ruling. Instead having him just portray himself as King as might makes right. Is a cultural thought that I feel strongly broke immersion in your most recent Jon Snow story. You tend to ignore cultural nuance that doesn't follow modern though process. Might makes right is a good way to explain medieval times as a Modern person, but there's reason people felt people ruled legitimately during that timeframe... No matter how insane the thought process it to a modern point of view.

Smithz

Ballad cuz damn does rhaella deserve a win

NJ

Black Lily as my #1 choice since you say it will be long and I am curious to see how two very powerful characters manage in a world where they are neither the dragon riding royals and or a Great House and are the tier below that in the Blackwoods and Bracken level nobles. Then I would say if not the Ron as Tully story as number #2, but please no more Jon Snow stories from you for a few years at least lol!!!

Mae

All of them 🙏🏻😭

Corlys

Yess black lily is gonna be awesome

Goxo

All have so much potential.

r3ad3r

Please include a wildling SI or crossover next time. Want to see how they live and their politics if they have any. Dealing with westerosi politics is pretty much hash out for me. Not an uplift of course. Because an SI doesn't really know everything in reality. Just a suggestion. PS. You're the only author who has a consistent update time as far as I know. Some author doesn't really know the word "equivalent exchange" mean. You receive something from us and we receive something from you. In this case, we get your product/service that is pretty much worth every penny we pay. Thank you for your hard work and good luck.

Omar Syed

People are idiots. The Bloody Rush is the ONLY correct choice. There are tons of Harry or Jon fanfics out there but few with Ron as the main character, and most of them by subpar fanfic authors. Would be interesting to see how GladiusX portrayed Ron. Bah! People are morons.

GreyWardenRevan

The Bloody Rush and The Black Lily are both sounding awesome to me but The Black Lily got my vote. Ron definitely deserves his time in the spotlight after The Black Lily. Please take in consideration that Jon Snow is tired and would like some rest, but he may enjoy being the son of a Riddle. The Incest storylines are becoming too prevalent and tiresome. The Grandmother/Grandson relationship will put me off from my membership until it is finished if it wins the poll.

BaakoHeng

Hmmm most of them not my thing so i will skip this for now gl guys

Maniac000

I like the idea of someone from ASoIaF going to Hogwarts.

stevem1

I’ll read any story written by Gladiusx, though I voted for the Black Lily as it was longer. Last poll had an option of Jon and Robb as Tywin’s twin sons. I really liked that concept. Sad to see it wasn’t offered here, but maybe someday. The possibility of conflict is immense. Jon and Robb are exactly the kind of sons Tywin wants, but they wouldn’t tolerate his BS as much as his canon children. I confess I prefer the ASoIaF fanfiction, even if it is only a crossover. I also prefer Jon as the protagonist, but mixing it up and having him as a support character would work too. For example, Ron as a Tully, with the story told from his POV, but having Robb and Jon [or Robert and Ned, or whomever] interacting with him as support characters could be interesting. I have to agree about the incest. Jon during Robert’s Rebellion or earlier would be cool, but getting with his grandmother is nausea inducing. Only really three ways it works: 1) R+L does not equal J, but maybe a B+A=J or N+A=J; 2) the distance between generations is significant [like No Joy for Command, almost 200 years means the genetic connection is remote, at best]; and, 3) Neither Jon nor Rhaella know about the connection [for example, a Jon who time travels before he’s clued in as to his ancestry]. Number 3 might work best for Snow and Flame story. The Targs might think he has some dragonseed ancestors because of his look, but that’s not frightfully rare in the South and clues neither of them into the actual relationship. Which means they’re effectively diving into Targ incest, honoring the family’s deviant tradition, but clueless that they’re doing so.

Dreamer

I just Rhaella to find happiness

fireball77

The world needs more ASOIAF fics

Star445

I picked Bloody Rush as my first choice and A Snowy Riddle as my second. I’ve read so many Harry/Fleur stories for many years now that it just gets old with the same fanon tropes. Also it doesn’t hurt that Bloody Rush is a medium length story.

TensorOperator

I voted for Black Lily because of "magic exploration, with all the eldritch present in ASOIAF, as well as fiefdom building and Riverlands/royal court tensions and politics", but not because of HarryxFleur.

WandersAway

Would be excited to see the strategic genius that is Ronald Weasley in Asofai. Even more so because this is an older version of him that would have more of a handle of his emotions
