Okay, so I have looked at my schedule, the outlines for the winning chapters, and calculated how much time each chapter will take, and I am no longer certain I will be able to get the next chapter of Making Waves out by the Superbowl if I also have to do a large story chapter and a chapter of FILFy Teacher.   Anything Goes will only take me two days or so, and has already been halfway written - a combat scene since i had thought to use one of them in the previous chapter.  

This means I need to prioritize things going forward.  Because of course even if I am somehow able to get all the chapters I want done which is kind of doubtful, there's the question of getting them done in time to send off to be edited.  

Anyway, I want to get everyone's input on this.  This is NOT a weighted poll, it is simply a regular single vote type poll.  I just want everyone's opinions.

the poll choices are Prioritize Horse of the Force.  It's been so long since this one was updated it is going to be a rather large chapter, about 45,000 maybe 50,000 words.

Split up Making Waves! - as it says, I can split up Making Waves and put the noncombat sections out for the Super Bowl and then do FILFy and Horse by the end of the Month.  But it would be a very short chapter, only about 7,000 if I  get into the descriptions of some of the scenes.  Yet this would give me time to get all the other works done...

Prioritize FILFy! - Since this was the second place winner in the small story poll, I can see why people may think it should be be given precedence over Making Waves and Anything Goes Game Changer.   But I have worked it out, and it will be at least 30,000 words at a minimum.

Give us the full Making Waves!! - self explanatory, it will be a chapter stuffed full of combat and action and will be about 40,000 words.  If it wins, after I am done Anything Goes Game Changer I will devote myself to Making Waves right off the bat, then go on to the next one in this list.

Anyhow, those are the choices, and remember as you vote that you are voting not just for my own priorities, but for which stories will have been given the Michael touch(TM)  at the very least, and will thus have far fewer small mistakes and such.

This poll will last until Anything Goes is done, which I would estimate will occur Tuesday or late Monday depending on football LOL.  Go Chargers, Rams and Eagles!!

Personally I don't mind any option as long as it doesn't include splitting making waves or shrinking chapter sizes for any of the stories, I rather have quality over quantity. That said 7k words feels short and more like an annoying cliffhanger if anything especially now that we know the full chapter would be about 40k.

Don't even DARE consider splitting up MW! That'd completely ruin the flow of the story!

Gotta be FILFY on my side!

I voted for FILFy but I don't mind full chapter of Making Waves either. Honestly you should go with what is most comfortable for you and I truly think that splitting chapter would make you unhappy. That being said I don't care about superbowl nor do I know when it is, but I can see someone expecting his Making Waves fix by that date given the previous announcement. Still I definitely prefer for you to take time, even if it would mean some delay. You produce so much stories each month that I definitely won't be upset if you need a slightly more time for it ;)

I just picked one since they are all good chooses.

Full making waves, gotta have that wonderful, long, mid-month chapter fix

Yeah, i had no wish to split the chapter, but felt I sort of had to offer. Horse won back in November, and I couldn't work on it then - just had no time, so needed to at least make a nod in that direction.

in a way that question - quality over quantity, was at the heart of this vote. Which stories would be better in terms of quality I mean: which would be edited by hiryo and Michael.
