Poll results
Added 2018-12-20 16:47:55 +0000 UTCWell, that was an interesting poll, with a very close race and lots of input for me to consider as far as future projects go. Now, once all the votes are counted including the extra ones I got via messages and/or comments, the final result is a tie between Little Sister's Big Butt and Buttfuck Buddies, with The Warlock & The Wizardess coming right behind by a minimal margin.
Now, this is a first, as far as I can remember: even though we had polls with close results similar to these, we never had an actual tie before, so I'm not really sure how to deal with it. My first instinct would be to have another smaller poll including only Little Sister's Big Butt, Buttfuck Buddies and The Warlock & The Wizardess. Still, I think that the purpose of such poll should not be to determine a winner, but rather to choose the order in which the three stories will get written. I mean, given how close the three top choices were this time around, it's obvious that each have a solid fan base behind, and it's only fair that all three get written sooner rather than later. But that's just my initial idea, and there's still time to improve on it given that An Offer He Can't Refuse is going to be written first anyway.
As a side note, I was very pleased to see that Jennifer's Version got a decent chunk of votes at its very first listing, which means that, in the future, this will be the default 'new story' I'll focus on developing first and foremost. Indeed, there are quite a few interesting things that come to mind in relation to a wildcard like Jennifer getting her own story line, so yeah, you can expect this one to pop up again in future polls, no doubt.
Okay, I think that's it for now. Thank you all for participating in the poll, your feedback is absolutely crucial and your support, as always, is very much appreciated!

Yeah, that's pretty much the idea, or at least the currently most viable idea, as far as I'm concerned: a poll to set the writing order while stating as a given that all three stories will be done relatively soon. It's true that this choice would delay a new poll for a couple of months or so, but at least it's a guarantee that none of the top three story lines gets discarded along the way. Still, there's time to figure things out a bit better before any final decision is made...

2018-12-21 19:25:00 +0000 UTCBelieve me, I wouldn't mind doing that! But fair is fair, I guess, so a vote is probably the best way to go, given that each of the top three contenders got lots of support.

2018-12-21 16:16:28 +0000 UTCI almost posted a comment on the poll thread to suggest having a run-off between the top three stories, not to determine what the next project will be directly, but to direct your focus for the first part of 2019. Basically, the story that gets the most votes will be next after AOHCR, then the second place story after that, and the last story next. Of course, this probably means itβll be a few months before we see another poll, so maybe you should include a fourth choice for those people who only want one story at a time.
