Heya.

I'd like to run a poll on everyone so I can be a better idea as to what everyone is primarily here to support. I've got an idea, but I'd like to see where the numbers actually fall. Please give it a look and toss me an answer when you get some time. The poll will be up for 3 days.

This post is going to pull double duty. Borne of Desire CH 15 is up in the usual places. See below.

POLL QUESTION: What story are you primarily here to support?

Comments

James Rushin

There should be a “Pokémon fiction” option for both BOC and BOD

Rodney

We, I've a feeling at least half the total will be BoC

PXRB

I voted borne of caution but i do also like borne of desire, i’m just here for BoC primarily. I did enjoy the first chapter of dark tidings too but i’m not reading it right now

aj0413

Pretty much only reason BoD though looks like I’m in the minority

MegaZeroX

If there was a ranking, it would be BoC > Dark Tidings > BoD (and I don't gare about Automoatia Gigue)

That Guy Kye

Both BOC and BOD. While I respect and find the other stories mildly interesting it just isn’t my sorta jam

Dead Bloodchief

Primarily BoC for me though I keep up on BoD as well. Haven’t read the others yet

John Parker

I originally came here for BOC but I fell in love with Auto so I’m voting for that one

Andres

+1 the sentiment of equally supporting both pokefics. I will say though I haven’t looked at the other stories and I don’t plan to till they have around a dozen chapters out, for all I know I’d like them too.

Hickity

All of em but I started with BoC and came to prefer BoD tbh, still like it all though.

Worcestershire Sauce

Borne of Caution and Desire, as well as any spinoffs they may have, like the Harry Potter and Mystery Dungeon bits.

Bacu

I came here for Borne of Caution, but I'm now also very fond of Dark Tidings and I'm currently reading Borne of Desire.

Voidcat Cyr

My favorite is Borne of Caution, then Borne of Desire. I also enjoy Automatic Gigue. I've never touched Dark Tidings.

suspiciouscoffee

I voted support all equally for BoC, BoD and AG but I have no idea what Dark Tidings is about.

Aaron Meek

Found you through BoC, liked BoD and AG, though DT really hasn't grabbed me much. Still like the stories, and appreciate the effort you put into them.

Denorann

I selected Bourne of Caution, but it is more of BoC, BoD and DT. Automa isn't bad just didn't really click for me.

Swinter

BoD has overtaken BoC for me. The other two I don't give one whit about as it is. AG is... Never likely to interest me.

Darkarma

Mainly here for Caution and Desire, wish I could select both. The others are interesting to but love me some pokemon

SurrealBeetle

BoC is the work I enjoy the most, with DT at second place. I’m always on the lookout for new chapters, it’s that captivating of a story.

(K) KaurisAzurai

BOC first , BOD next , DT last but still great,

Soupy

Found you via BoC and BoD, I'd say I'm here 50/50 for AG and BoC, but everything is good tbh

Straven

Born of caution and desire, love them both. Reason I chose to give as much support as I've given. Your stories are excellent, the styles great and the flow is delightfully smooth to my sore eyes. Plus just the realistic style really hits me. P.S. I'd strongly advise making it so we've got at least 2-3 votes, the main one, the secondary and then the final one if any at all. P.S.S. before I forget......mate you are the author, you are the one who created several great reads that us poor binge readers found and devoured with great hunger. You do what you need to do to keep you up and running cause I'd rather wait a bit for the spec story update I want vs going full blown starving cause you gave up.

KingDeDeDe11

I'm mainly here for BOD. I think BOC is still interesting to read, but I love how BOD is written and the core concept of it.

dicloniuslord

Initially came here for BoC and mainly enjoy that, but i do also enjoy the other stuff

Henoros

I am only reading BoC and BoD right now, but the only reason I am not reading DT is that I prefer to wait until it is a little bit longer to dive in.

Wingless

BoC and BoD. Which one I like more shifts with my mood, and how likely it seems you are to including degenerate smut. If we're being honest. :P

Zach Collins

To be honest I'm here for you as an author, I enjoy your writing style and at this stage am happy to read what ever you put out. Its hard to find passionate and dedicated authors.

Zanji

Truth be told I here for both bornes love them both and I’m really invested into them

Faruel

I find the same thing happens with a lot of Patreon authors. People sign up for the original story and it gets released regularly. Then, through burnout, lack of interest or other reasons, authors begin diversifying into other projects over time. What was once the only focus gets divided into many and since there are only 24 hours a day it slows down the story release. Some even drop their original story or decide to rewrite it. If I'm being 100% honest as a reader. I want to see Borne of Caution written to completion with as few side projects as possible. But as a person who knows a knows few authors, I understand the wax and wane of story inspiration.

Gav

I think you did this poll a disservice by not having a 'BoC and BoD, in equal or near equal amounts' option!

Aiyaaa Whatareyoudoing

Everything except for Dark Tidings. Kinda saving that to read in the future as I dislike reading original works that don’t have as much progression to them. So that’s staying unread for a while.BoC got the vote because it was what introduced me to your work.

Lynneth

BoD, BoC

xydra22

Jolly Cooperation

LagoMate

BoC and BoD mainly, but also think AG is pretty neat.

TitaniumPho3nix

I became a patron for BoC but have enjoyed all of your work so far, so I will read whichever one is posted.

Earthpatriot117

Borne of caution and dark tidings are my main reasons.

Maltec

Borne of Caution is my big draw, interest in seeing where DT and AG head, BoD is good but just doesnt click with me

Mike

Born of caution and desire

Murtaugh

Borne of Desire is the primary reason I’m here.

Javidom

currently everything but Dark TIdings

Orion Dye

Came for BoC, stay for BoD, like DT, but willing to wait until one of the other stories is done on that one.

sthrandom

Main draw was BoC, but DT seems to have a lot of promise too. BoD is quite enjoyable, but not sure if it would be enough for me as the only story. AG doesn't seem bad, but as someone unfamiliar with the setting it does not really hook me at this point of time.

Zote the Mighty

I enjoy BoC for the characters, DT for the premise and world, and AG for the interesting ability and exploring it’s uses.

Gav

Why not just do a poll that lets you rank 'very interested' 'somewhat interested' 'no feelings' 'not interested' 'actively dislike' for each of the four stories? That'd be more precise.

Diabolitio Barbossa

Agree with Gav, I got here from BoC but I enjoy BoD equally.

Meadow

You had my attention in the early chapters of BoC, and I’ve only come to want more of everything you’re doing near equally
