I've been idly considering the notion of trying to do polls for stories again like I did in the early days of the patreon.

This time the voting options would be suggestions taken from backers. It must be noted though that these need to be relatively short and simple prompts, around 10k words at most, I'm not looking to do anything that would take me more than a week to complete (under ideal assumption of working regularly). I reserve the option to strike down a suggested idea before the voting if I don't think it would work out for me.

For now I'm just gauging interest in this since the downfall of the polls in the past was not enough participation. I don't know if it would be better to have the suggestion collecting and voting be at the end of a month, leading into the writing in the next, or to have it be at the start of a month; my hand might be forced into the latter for May since I took so long to remember to post about this.

I'd be down for that. At the very least, I'm curious to see what ideas everyone will cook up.

10k is short for you, damn

I don't know how much meaningful participation you'd get from 10 backers, but I'd try.

Not really? I'd say most of my uploads have been shorter than that, and there have been very few that were longer than 20k. I'd need these to be a length I can reasonably tackle in a short timeframe if I'm going to fit them in among works I do for myself.

Not much, perhaps, but it's better than it had been when I first tried doing this with only three backers. I'm conscious that it would probably be better to have multiple votes, so it's not just everyone voting for their own idea, but I feel that if I did that I'd have to do at least the top two results instead of only one.
