Patreon exclusive story -- January 2023: voting time! (For Young Bird patrons) (Patreon)

And here is the post for y'all in the Young Bird tier. You know how it works from the other post, so I won't remind you, but I will remind you of the prompts for this month:

Same Hat! -- After coincidentally showing up to three dates in a row wearing the same outfit as their boyfriend, the protagonist, as a joke, declares that they will wear to their next date something his boyfriend wouldn't possibly wear.  Problem is, he doesn't want to stop wearing the dress when the joke is over.

A Journey of Discovery -- In the far future, an explorer who spends his days wandering from one adventure to the other from star to star, never satisfied, crash-lands on a backwater planet, and is nursed to health by a beautiful woman. As he recovers, he learns many things about her, and also has many questions: what are those medicines she keeps taking? Why does she live off-grid, and yet constantly receive letters addressed to a man, and cries every time she gets one? And what are these feelings that keep bubbling up in his mind?

Fine, I'll Get a Stupid Haircut -- The protagonist's hair has been longer than some girls for quite a while now, and his parents have kept bugging him about it. So, since it's almost the summer and it's getting hot he finally caves and goes to the hairdresser, but while he does get a shorter haircut, in order to keep giving his parents a hard time he goes for a clear feminine style. However, what happens when he discovers he actually likes the new haircut? And what happens when the whole school starts thinking "she's" finally growing out of "her" tomboy style?

Conventional Wisdom -- Let us examine two examples groups of people who excel at high end nerdy.   The first example is, for lack of a simpler word - chuds. Man children gatekeepers, gaters, long time dark web members who have built their entire identity off the precious belief they know what's best in geek fandoms. The second group is a community of nerds who used fandoms to find comfort and friends and often avoid facing hard facts - trans gals  Our story takes place at Big Apple comic con where two such groups of four are about to meet head on in the last round of the trivia contest.  Where one member of the first group is about to have quite the eye opening afternoon.

Vote for your favourite here! Like the other poll, this one closes at Wednesday, January 11th, at 12.00 noon CET, so don't forget to vote before then!

And thank you :)
