Life Has Been So Busy... And A Calm Is Coming
2 years ago
General
The last few months have been incredibly busy for me, causing me to get pushed and pulled in many directions. Fortunately, there is an end in sight to the chaos and I will soon have some extra time in my days. To celebrate, I'm thinking of adding a fresh story to the rotation. Yes, I have other stories I'm still working on, but I want a new something upon which to focus for a little while. To that end, I'm providing readers on SF and FA a chance to help me pick out the project. After I have this poll up here, I'll use my $5 and higher tier patrons over on Patreon to help me fine tune the ideas and then, coming soon, a fresh story! And, in case you're wondering, yes: they will probably be adult in nature.
Although this WAS a poll, the time to answer has been closed. I'll be working on ALL of the stories with at least one vote, and the number of votes will determine the length of the story!
1) College student comes home for a week between semesters and gets to spend some quality time with their mature next door neighbor.
2) A Researcher studying a remote tribe is the first of the team to be invited to the village by one of the natives. Will the language barrier create a problem?
3) An innocent bystander gets embroiled in a feud between a corrupt cop and a crime family patriarch.
4) Due to a shortage of funds, a second year studious college student is forced to move into a less-than-ideal living situation involving a partying friend and his pals.
5) Child of a very high net worth corporate family is forced to come to terms with the knowledge that none of the family cares as much as as their assigned bodyguard.
6) A smuggling ring is using a fringe space outpost to try and transport a very important schematic, and an administrator gets caught up with a covert ops agent who is trying to intercept it.
7) A jet-setting traveler gets lost in an unfamiliar country, and requires the help of a well-meaning native to get back on track.
8) Come on, Comida.... just go back and work on some of your other pending stories! No need for something new!

A job blows up in their face in an odd way, and they're on the move through a strange culture.
They get help from someone that their criminal activities has unknowingly helped. (Saved their life? Protected friends? Killed enemies of the helper's tribe/family in an odd way? Destroyed a very corrupt government?)
The results are ongoing. And guess who's face is associated with the beginning?
A better world? Or just a stranger one?
Then again, if you combined them. There's enough here to create a new story universe. You might even add in the old MTM idea from prior messages.
