Hi all.

For this poll, chose as many options as you like. 🙂

As you’ve probably seen in the stories, there are a mix of endings. Many of these stories are old commission pieces, and the final outcome was dictated by the wishes of the client.

This is a chance for you to give your feedback on how you to prefer to find the heroine(s) at the end of a story. Bear in mind, it’s my firm belief that you always need to have a level of suspense for the audience, meaning a level of uncertainty in the outcome. But as a rule, for the central character, what is it you look for?

With thanks,

D :)

Interesting. With 24 Patrons having voted (just over half the active members) over 50% like seeing the heroine broken and enslaved, 33% enjoy the darkest ending, and only 25% like seeing the heroine triumph. Of course, there’s going to be a mix of types to keep folks guessing. But good to know none of the current members chose option 6 or 7.

Personally I do not like 6+7. However, the other endings are all interesting. Personally I prefer to not know how it ends -> having sometimes a happy ending and having sometimes the worst ending (with everything else in between), that's the most entertaining IMO. I am much more involved in the story if I do not know if the heroine will be victorious or if she will end a slave / mutilated / dead, whatever.
