Okay folks.  New month, new plan.  Unfortunately, given what happened the last two weeks of March, I wasn’t able to actually write out the winner of the HP poll for that month.  I wasn’t even able to work much on the unedited last few chapters of ATP… although as an aside, the changes I did make were to the Harry/Thanos fight and the end of the Thanos/Jean fight.  Jean still scores a huge win, but only after… well, that would be telling.  Still more editing to do, without Observanc09 around any longer, but it’s a start.

Anyway, because of that, I decided to simply carry over the HP poll into April, and make the winner of it the first fic to be worked on this month. The Patron poll will be up tonight, and will be the second fic of the month.  The third fic will be Ranma, since Stallion was more of a medium sized chapter than a small one in March.  I will say though, that if Making Waves has a chance to win in Patron only poll, I will try to vote for it.  So before all that, let’s announce the winner of the HP poll.

… this is the point where I start sweatdropping and smiling at the idea that Fate might have won, which would be hilarious and great for me because I like concentrating on Patron only stuff first…

NOPE.   

Fate had a good showing, but it was still badly beaten by FILFy, which even before the carry-over effect had a total of 2,290.  With the carry over effect of 694, In total it had 2,984.

In second place, was Fate, which does make me feel better for posting it last night anyway, with a score of 1882.

Bhaalson Remodel came in with a depressing 840.  OUCH.  BG3 has done nothing to boost this fic’s voting.  That surprises me a lot.

 

Anyway, work on FILFy will start tomorrow. I will shoot for finishing it by the twelve and sending it off to my editors.

sadly for Bhaalson, BG3, while it's in universe, the few characters and connections to the first games are pretty minimal and also pretty late into the game, so it really didn't do much at all to bring back nostalgia for me when i played. it was still a fun game, it just didn't tug at the old heartstrings. i'd have loved it if people talked about events from BG 1&2, talked about the Bhaalist warlords or anything, but about the most you get is a few lines from minsc and jaheira and mostly those are more along the lines of 'it's been a while since i saved the world'.

LOL. I can definitely see Minsc going "AH, going for three, this would be, what is the phrase, Boo? A hat trick?" I see your point though. Still wondering about BG3. I want the characters to interact with me like they did in BG2, not just at interaction points, but on thier own randomly. Thoughts?

their comments and conversations as you wander around are pretty on point and it does a great job of giving them all pretty unique and strong personalities, it's just that it's very clear that it's a new cast dealing with a new plot that just so happens to take place in the same universe as the original games, as opposed to actually feeling like a sequel to the first two games

For me Bhaalson is my 2nd favorite story just under FILFY

BR's result hurts a lot, tbh.

You’re telling me! I just think that story has so much potential but it just can’t win against more popular fandoms…. 😢
