Hey everyone! If you've spent any time looking through my stuff here, you'll notice that several pairings get far more attention than the rest (Harry/Daphne and Harry/Hermione being the most prominent ones).

I've received several messages over the last year (most of them coming in the last few months) asking about limiting the number of these pairings that appear in my monthly polls. While I'm open to the idea, I also do not necessarily want to temporarily ban people's favourite pairings if this is what they want to see.

So, the question is: Do you want me to have temporary bans on certain pairings in order to increase the variety of pairings that I write? 

These bans would change on a monthly basis (so if we banned Harry/Daphne stories in March, they would be allowed again in April). These bans would only affect the Exclusive Monthly Poll and Patron-Voted Story Polls, not my regular series.

Maybe not a ban, but just make give the winning pair a by week for the following poll.

no bans is going to get the most votes of the three options, but the total votes for at least one ban is higher than for no bans

We’re not going to win any bans but we’re not going to get any variety otherwise. Maybe separate polls for the more popular pairings?

That's kinda what I'm thinking at this point. I'll wait to see what the final results of the poll are, but doing a temp ban seems to be leading. I might be something like any women in the winning pairing of the previous poll cannot be included in the next one, but I'll post an announcement about it later.
