Which story to conclude?

[LongTimeLurker]

It looks like I'll have some free time in the coming week and I figured I'd work on trying to actually conclude one of these three stories.

I keep going back and forth on which one - so a poll seems like the best way to abdicate the responsibility of choosing. Well, as long as at least one person votes.

The choices would be:
Lady in Waiting AKA Steampunk ASFR (btw, there was a new epilogue added regarding the Lady in Green's repair to part 3)
Prototype AKA Reed and the Sexbot Factory
Solipsistic AKA OMG my boss is a sexy robot

I really like all three, but I ruled out Prototype because it is by far your longest story at this point. I was torn between the remaining two, but I ended up deciding on Solipsistic (mind explaining what this name even means? =P) because it's basically a single chapter with plenty of loose ends.

But really, I'm cool with whatever. Solipsistic gets my vote mainly because it's seen the least love so far.

Solipsism is the philosophical concept that you can only be certain of your own existence - every thing else could be an illusion, including the people you meet.

[Epitaph]

Would it be greedy of me to want to pick all of them? Your stuff's all equally well-written.

I voted 'Lady in Waiting' because I thought it was really original and I loved the characters' arrogance and vulnerability but I'd be delighted to see more of any of these great stories or, indeed, something completely different!! I hope you feel inspired to tap the keyboard soon...

All three.

I'll eventually get around to all of them, I figured I could just use the poll to determine the order... but my master plan didn't really figure on a tie.

[Robjoe]

Flip a coin! That's what I always do, being so horrible with decisions myself.

But really, just sit down, brainstorm, and see what story you get ideas for. Write whatever one you find yourself the most excited for.

I'd also like reiterate my suggestion to leave Prototype for later. As much as I love it, it's seen the most development so far. I'd prefer to see the other two stories grow more before you revisit that one--though the current poll standings say that might just be me!

I agree with Robjoe - as much as I love Prototype (and that was FINE writing right there), Solipistic saw the least development, and really left us with a cliffhanger ending, which wasn't really an ending of sorts... don't leave us in suspense, continue Solipistic so we can figure out what happens - I honestly love what you've got so far!

Good luck, and I think I speak for all of us here at FC when I say we can't wait!

[LongTimeLurker]

Write whatever one you find yourself the most excited for.

I go back and forth. If you asked me right now I'd say "Lady in Waiting", but that'll probably change tomorrow. Regardless - next week I can just do whatever the poll dictates. Sweet freedom

I agree with Robjoe ... Solipistic saw the least development, and really left us with a cliffhanger ending, which wasn't really an ending of sorts

Solipsistic will definitely get some attention! I meant it to be more of a stand-alone, but that's definitely not where it ended up - and do I feel bad for leaving it where I did. If Prototype and Solipsistic are neck and neck, maybe I can just alternate updates?

I liked Solipsistic

[LongTimeLurker]

Put up the first part of the sequel to Prototype. I decided to cheat and not end the story completely in this go, so I should be able to get back to the other two sooner (Solipsistic will be next). Thanks for voting and for all the encouragement!

Good choice---then again, ALL your stories are good choices!
