(If i forgot anyone, please let me know!)

As for the options, I thought that seeing how this community is based around Ovelord, while the subjects may vary, the story itself should be based on this franchise. Though, i will still put an option for those who wish to vote for the subject not to be on Overlord, if this options win, we are going to have a second short poll to decided the subject of a non-Ovelrod fic.

To summarize here are the options:

Romance: But not any romance, i want you authors to squish those creative juices out of your brains! So it is a romance but only with extremely rare or never seen before pairings (so no Ainz x Albedo or any other mainstream pairings, hell! genderbend if you want, just make it unique!) PS: If you are unsure of it being a mainstream pairing, feel free to ask me.

Slice of Life: Self-explanatory, a slice of life moment, but with a caveat, no Nazarick Slice of Life, meaning that if you want to use a character from Nazarick the slice of life moment must happen outside of the Tomb and a NW character should be included.

Comedy: Again, self-explanatory, though, here no Ainz is allowed! (not exploiting the very much overused misunderstanding comedy)

New World Perspective: A new world character-driven story, pretty much whatever you want, but the main character must be from the new world and is the only POV of the story (can go from horror to adventure, whatever you wish)

Yggdrasil Days: A story from the Yggdrasil days of the Guild Ainz Ooal Gown (or Nine's Own Goal) give the prequel of the story some love!

Wholesome Friendship: Self-explanatory, give us some wholesome friendship moments! (Neia and CZ are banned for obvious reasons, i am not gonna make it easy for you)

Non-Overlord Option

Now Vote for the option you wish to see! And let's see what fate decides!

Lots a feel good options it seems. Not gonna lie comedy seems a little redundant as most other options would include comedy as a by product. Poor thing got 0 votes. Bro showed up just to be publicly humiliated. I appreciate his contribution to the poll at least lol

Chloe Tkach

Question: for the comedy, are we still allowed to use miscommunication without Ainz being part of said miscommunication? Or is it both no Ainz and no miscommunication?

ZeroSenpai Writer

Miscommunication is fine without Ainz, i personally think Overlord has already enough of that and participatns should think of something else, or twist it in a different way than canon. But anyone is welcomed to do as they wish, after all my personal vote is as valuable as anyone else's

Mike

It's funny how Non Overlord option still has no love. Maybe I'll switch my vote so it's not lonely

ZeroSenpai Writer

Yeah, i thought it would not be very popular, but this is hilarious, i would laugh my ass off if it doesn't get even a vote

Mike

Gave it my pity vote.

Blackjack

Damn, I was hoping the romance one wins. I was thinking of writing a romance pairing, Shalltear x Climb. I mean, imagine it, Climb, who still has some morality in him but is still dejected enough at the world to have a more warped idea of morality and is influenced by his peers, with his interacting with Shalltea, twist his and her personalities? Imagine how they will twist each other's personalities would be interesting.

Blackjack

What about a scenario where it is an outside character seeing through Ainz's action, and in doing so, realizes that he is being stupid, then it cuts into Ainz's mind and he actually thinks he is being clever. Ainz tries to actually be smart, but everyone thinks he is being an idiot, and he actually is being stupid. I think that would be a funny juxtaposition where, instead of people misunderstanding his action as being smart while he is not trying to be smart, they instead think he is being dumb while he thinks he is being smart. Another scenario I was thinking about for comity, we could go a full Steve Lichman and have an undead overlord (that is not Ainz but is also a player from Yggdrasil), and now there is just an unlikable overlord running around E-restys, how is playing with the adventure guild and being a classic Saturday villain. Whenever he does get close to killing the adversaries that are fighting him, he heals them, then does the "ehehehehe" before running away. Basically, this develops into the entire adventure guild basically seeing him as a non-threat that they just fight for fun and experience because he helps them level up and gives them free magical equipment he makes. I could see the adventure guild stop actually trying to kill him and instead just have fun with him, or even make him an official member of the adventure guild, and if somebody actually tries to kill him, then the entire adventure guild immediately becomes hostile to that person. Also, he had fought Zeeshi and beat her and let her live, and now she keeps coming back and trying to do very suspect things with him, so he runs away from her, and we get the comedic scene of a girl chasing down a guy.

Chloe Tkach

How are we supposed to submit our stories, exactly? Through email?

ZeroSenpai Writer

Would prefer discord but if you prefer, you can send the link to a google drive in the PM here, i would like to leave entail as the very last resort

ZeroSenpai Writer

Shalltear would end up owning a dog boy in addition to her cat girl XD

Considering which on is in the lead, does the new world perspective focus on characters in TWTS or main canon?

ZeroSenpai Writer

Whatever you wish, it can be canon, TWTS, or your own AU. This is just a direction but i wish to leave writers all the creative freedom i can

MrMagicMan

Does the new world character have to be an established one from canon?

ZeroSenpai Writer

Not necessarily, you could even go with Rayne if you want to, or an OC

Chloe Tkach

For the New World POV, does it require to be in first person? Or is third person okay, so long as the NW character is the central/ they’re present for all scenes

ZeroSenpai Writer

Can do third or first person, your choice, important thing is that the MC is from the NW

Anon7274

When is part 2 coming?
