February Suggestions -- Thread Closed (Patreon)

Update: That's all the ideas I'll be taking this month! I'll have a post today or tomorrow detailing the three or four short pieces I'll be writing inspired by what ya'll suggested. Thanks for everyone who participated!

~~~~~

Alright! So this is going to be a new thing I want to try each month, where all of you have a chance to suggest ideas to me for flash fiction stories (1000 words or so) and I'll pick a few to write and post over the next month.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE COMMENTING BELOW WITH YOUR IDEAS!!!!

I want this to be a friendly thing, with a cooperative atmosphere, and I also want to try to encourage people to bounce ideas off one another, so this isn't going to be a raffle or lottery, and ya'll aren't competing with one another for first come, first served slots. Instead, throw your ideas out there, if you have them. If you feel like you don't have any good ideas, or if you're too nervous to share, then feel free to reply to someone else's suggestion--either by seconding it, or by suggesting a twist on the original concept. Most of all, have fun with it! I'll be commenting too, making suggestions, asking follow up questions or offering thoughts in reply.

I'll keep this thread open until the third of the month, when I'll decide which ideas I'll be writing. I'm not going to choose them at random--it's up to me. I also reserve the right to...be creative with the suggestions, to some extent. For example, I might combine two into a single story, or add details from other ideas that appealed to me. How many suggestions I take a month will depend on how many ideas there are, but will probably be around three or four. I'll make a second post, revealing my selections, and I'll write and post the resulting stories over the course of the month, here first, and most likely also on tumblr later.

~~~Some Ground Rules~~~

• Be nice! If an idea someone suggests isn't your thing, don't waste time trashing it. Either help improve it, or make a suggestion of your own. 
• Keep your ideas on the short side. If it's too long or complex, I'll probably make you edit it down before I'll consider it.
• Don't just submit a picture and expect me to be inspired. In fact, I'd rather not see a picture at all, in these, unless you feel like it really helps sell your idea.
•  I will be...amenable to fan fiction, if I like the idea well enough, and if I like and am familiar with the characters you suggest. I am not going to research the backgrounds of your favorite characters that I've never heard of before.
• That said, I will not write you a personal story involving you in particular, a personal character, or your fursona. You can save that for a proper commission. 

Alright? Let's see what you'd like to see this month!
