Referring to our Staff-tier and higher readers, not the in-story convention staff! I want the Staff's Choice chapter to be something of a wild card, based on what unique ideas the readers want to see written. Rather than a poll, I thought I'd try this out as a brainstorming discussion at first to see what ideas are put forth.

I think one of the major strengths of the sidestories is that they give the overall story a lot more breadth and scope, showing that anime conventions are full of crazy and unbelievable things going on all around. While I have a specific story to tell that closely follows Brian and friends, the sidestories fleshing out more of the convention personalities around them really helps the convention come alive as a whole.

Anime conventions are a collection of many subcultures, and I've tried to touch on several of those in the sidestory chapters so far to help give the story as a whole an "anime convention" feel. Is there a major aspect of conventions you feel hasn't been represented yet, that would be interesting to read?

Alternatively, the staff's choice could be a character focus, mainly covering the relationship between several specific Waifu-tier characters. Overall, I've been trying to build things up as Foxy's "dark harem" to rival Brian's harem, but any number of twists or interesting things could happen along the way.

Or, we could go off the rails and try something completely different. What are you guys interested in seeing?

I personally suggest a maid cafe.

FortySixtyFour

When two of the guest cosplayers acting as maids for the event get into a shirt-ripping, hair-pulling screaming on the ground catfight, the organizers suddenly find themselves in the awkward position of being shorthanded and desperately seeking maids for their events. (Start off the chapter with a Qin Wanwan and Mega Mikuru interpersonal drama fight?)

Malcolm Tent

I could see that lol. But it's not super necessary. Alot of cons recruit convention goers as maids. I had a bunch of friends who were maids at the last one I went to.

FortySixtyFour

I was just jumping at the opportunity to put a catfight in the story somehow, tbh. There's something especially hot about girls with a dignified persona losing their cool just so they can wrestle each other to the floor like it's a Jerry Springer episode.

I don't know what you've got planned for the "after hours" parts of the con (most people seem to want to get SOME sleep), but I think it would behoove Brian and Company to explore the "adult" oriented stuff one evening

FortySixtyFour

Eighteen and Up was planned on getting into some of that, yeah.

Luke Mofford

Yeah, I figured, too bad Foxy's party will take up most of Saturday night, unless things go horribly wrong, or does this Convention extend to the Monday?

FortySixtyFour

Not everyone has the inclination to attend Foxy's party, though. There'll be some splitting off.

Luke Mofford

Oooohhhh, splitting the party?

ZeroCross

The only fandom I'm part of that hasn't been approached is board games bur good luck doing anything fun with THAT!

FortySixtyFour

Lots of flirting around a table, possibly playing footsie beneath? Maybe someone drops their dice under the table and goes under, but doesn't come back up? Not sure how well I'd bland name tabletop or board games, though.

Synn Shadow

While I do like the idea you have going for the maids, if you want a catfight, you could just have Chloe and Jordyn have an actual conversation. Sparks are sure to fly because Synn doesn't like fake people. While she doesn't know Chloe is fake yet, enough time together and she'll figure it out. Just another random idea.

Synn Shadow

You could do something like Caverns and Creatures for D&D. Or Trailseeker for Pathfinder.

Synn Shadow

Soooo, I wanna see Jordyn with Brian. Don't really care for the context as much as seeing her get close to him. That and I'd love to see her realize her feelings are leading her to submit to him. Other than that, I'm thrilled with what ideas have gone into this story. If I think of anything else I will post.

Luke Mofford

Lucas would definitely check out the 18+ stuff, and wrestle with himself about Foxy's party, but he'll end up going, if only to give Sarah some closure, since that definitely didn't end on any kind of good terms. If you need specifics about what Lucas is interested in, let me know.
