Welcome to the November 2025 Patron Story Poll! After some technical difficulties with the first attempt at running this poll last night, I've decided to make some adjustments to how it will be operated. I will be gathering feedback on how the process goes, and if people are generally satisfied, I will make it a permanent change going forward.
This month's poll will be conducted on Google Forms, I have manually granted access to all currently active Patrons with a supported Gmail account.
Please take the time to read the prompts before you vote here:

When you're ready to vote, please follow the link that was sent to your email or use the following link:

If you are a new patron and joined during the voting period:
I check my notifications daily, and provided you have a qualifying Gmail account, I will update the access permissions to allow you to use the form.
If you are an existing patron without a Gmail account and are willing to make a Gmail account for the sake of voting:
Please send me a Direct Message immediately, either through Discord or Patreon, with the name of your new Gmail account and, if necessary, your Patreon username. I will catalogue it and use it to grant you permission to vote on future forms, if I continue to use this method.
If you are an existing patron, you don't have a Gmail account, and you don't wish to make one:
You absolutely are still entitled to vote! You may submit your vote to me through one of the following methods.
Direct Message me on Patreon or Discord (Please clarify your Patreon username if it's different from your Discord username) with the prompts that you wish to vote for and I will tally your vote into the totals.
Submit your vote publicly, either as a comment on this post or on my Discord Server in the channel titled "#patreon-discussion".
Send an email directly to me with the prompts you wish to vote for. You can send your email to [email protected]
I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause as I try to experiment with this new method, I held a poll on my Discord server to see if people were interested in trying it out, and a slim majority, but a majority nonetheless, were in favor of the chance, so I want to respect the will of my community and try at least once. If none of the methods above work for you, please contact me and we can work out another means through which you can be accommodated. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Happy Voting!
Voting will last from Tuesday, November 11th, to 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday, November 18th.
The poll is multiple choice, so feel free to vote for as many options as you like!
The 1st Place Winner will have their prompt written as a top-priority commission 4,000 Word Commission.
The 2nd Place Runner-Up will receive 1,000 words of bonus Premium Credit
The 3rd Place Runner-Up will receive 500 words of bonus Premium Credit.
Any ties for first, second, or third place will be broken by a random number generator. In the event of a Tie for 1st Place, the losing prompt will be awarded 2nd Place, in the event of a three way tie or more, the remaining options will go onto another tie breaker for 3rd Place.
Prompts are written by the patrons who submitted them and then edited by me. Prompts are randomly organized to discourage attempts to exploit primacy or recency bias for the first and last patrons to submit their prompts.
