Patreon exclusive story -- July 2022: voting time! (For Young Bird patrons) (Patreon)

And here is the poll for y'all in the Young Bird tier. Remember to vote on both polls to get your vote counted twice!

As a reminder, the prompts are:

Vicky Variations, or: the Sound of Something Hitting a Wall -- Ok. So liking oneself is one thing. Loving yourself another. But getting anger under control is …. yet another. Journaling is supposed to help right? This time she will totally stick with it. The perfect look, the perfect dress, the exacting makeup might be armor, but it’s not like a temper just vanishes. Several journal entries, taking place after Performative Masculinity and during or after To Own the Libs as Vicky tries to refocus her old temper as a righteous shield for her friends, and not at all throw the journal against the wall even once. Sometimes, in the moment, you just gotta punch a TERF … But it would also be nice if that perfect poise held.

What's in a Name? -- Two people from cliques that have never gotten along get cast as Romeo and Juliet, and when they discover that they have more in common than they thought, they decide to swap roles and names, both in and out of the play.

The Prophecy -- Two parents go to a fortune teller because their child isn't doing well in school. After identifying some issues the child is going through (bullying, etc), the fortune teller assures them that their child will be successful, claiming that she sees the child graduating with honors and thanking their moms for all the support they've given. Wait, "moms", plural? What happened to Dad?

I'm With the Band -- When a local rock band which suddenly went big after their vocalist came out, is in need of a new member to temporarily fill in for a guitarrist who is taking a break for a exchange program, Sam thinks this is their chance to meet the members of their favorite band, even if they didn't make it, at least they could greet them face to face in the auditions. However, they didn't expect to actually be accepted into the band, much less, that they would think Sam was a girl with a very nice voice? What should Sam do, tell them the truth and risk their chance to play with the band? Or just play along?

To My Beloved Friend -- A therapist assigns their trans client an assignment, write a letter to your past self to try to help them heal and gain closure.

Class Change -- A young man in college plays MMOs in his spare time, always playing as healers because his friends say he's good at them. But when a new expansion comes out, he decides to make a new character, a swordswoman who awakens a part of her self she never knew existed: a badass sword lesbian.

The poll is located at https://strawpoll.com/polls/NPgxkJMpQn2 and like the other one will be open until Wednesday, July 13th, at 12.00 noon CEST.

Let me know if you have any trouble with this: if so, I'll go back to letting Patreon handle it next month.

Thank you, folks :)
