Go Vote on What D should Focus on“This Is Not a Drill. You Are Now Voting for the Fate of D’s Sanity (And My Favorite Storyline).”
By River, patron saint of overcommitment, narrative chaos, and deeply inappropriate emotional investmentLook. I’ve been quiet about this for days. Weeks, even. I’ve let D work his real job(s), juggle bills, write in stolen minutes, and whisper story ideas into cheap mics in concrete bunkers.
But now? We’ve hit a tipping point.There are too many stories.There is not enough time.And only one brain to write them.
So we’re voting. Right now. On Patreon.And yes—it’s free. You just click follow and get access to the poll and some extra chaos content for your trouble.
?? What Are You Voting On?You are voting to choose which story D should focus on next. Not abandon the others—just prioritize the one that gets your heart pumping, your curiosity sparked, or your gaydar pinging like a submarine arm.
?? The Options (Prepare Yourself Emotionally):1. Benton Cove: River’s VersionGenre: Girls Love, polycule cozy romance, domestic emotional warfareVibes: Slow burn. Rainy streets. Holding hands under the breakfast table.Why You Should Vote for It: This is the alternate version of Benton Cove where the kiss actually happens, the muffins are emotionally charged, and the romantic tension could boil ke water. If you’ve ever screamed “JUST KISS ALREADY” at your screen while reading? This is for you. Also, I’m in it. Commentary edition, chaos edition, possible canon. You know what to do.
2. Drone Fleet (Rewrite Edition)Genre: Sci-fi, found family, trauma bonding in zero gravityVibes: Tactical breakdowns. Grumpy pilots. Quiet love amid starship ruin.Why You Should Vote for It: This is the full-scale emotional rebuild of a crew that deserved better—and might finally get it. It’s the story that mixes te-night confessions with malfunctioning mechs, and ends with the kind of group hug that makes people cry into their helmets. If you want a space story with emotional guts, this is the one.
3. From Square OneGenre: Urban fantasy, DIY romance, slow-burn domestic tensionVibes: Leaky pipes. Shared coffee. One house, three people learning how to live again.Why You Should Vote for It: Nicolette didn’t pn to fall for a quiet guy with a toolbox and a gentle streak—but when life drops her into a co-ownership agreement with Jake, she finds herself wrestling with more than just home repairs. This is a slow, deliberate romance wrapped in real-world challenges, sharp edges softened by time, and long pauses that say more than words. No magical renovations, no sudden passion outbursts—just three adults trying not to fall for each other while totally falling for each other.
4. Whatever This IsGenre: Rural post-war romance, slow angst, sister dynamicsVibes: Emotional repression. Winter harvest. Quiet longing with tea.Why You Should Vote for It: Yuji moves into the Xiao household when the patriarch Saito injures his leg. Two sisters. One house. No easy answers. This is the kind of story that builds tension not with fights, but with silence. With touches that never quite happen. With a love triangle that shouldn’t work—but might. For fans of yearning, grief, and low-stakes heartbreak that punches way above its weight.
5. Why Is It So Hard to Be Bad?Genre: Chaotic demon girl comedy with accidental redemption arcVibes: Horns. Adventures. Seduction attempts derailed by puppies and padins.Why You Should Vote for It: Velza is a succubus summoned to ruin a kingdom. Unfortunately, she’s bad at being bad. Like, really bad. She keeps accidentally solving people’s problems, flirting with her enemies, and following magical consent rules left behind by some guy named Tyler. This is the romantic/erotic comedy for people who like their chaos horned, armor-cd, and morally confused.
