User blog:Mended Mooncalf/STORY IDEAS/POLL

So I'm currently working on a story called Stolid. I fell behind a bit but generally I try to complete half of a chapter or a full chapter each day, and I'm hoping to wrap it up this month or early next month depending on how long it takes me to get through it (I have most of it planned out since I finally figured out somewhat what Liza's power is, just gotta find the time and motivation to follow through with the arc or two that follows it).

Stolid takes place in a universe whose concept I made up in a day or two. I hadn't planned on making the whole HUMILITY timeline, I just wanted to write a funny story about a funny inept man who has to kill the people we know as edgy versions of our alphas, but things happen. And I got a LOT of ideas about more stories that would exist in the past and future of this timeline.

I want to continue on with a new HUMILITY story shortly after Stolid concludes, and I was pretty confident in which idea I wanted to write first, but now I'm having second thoughts.

This may not immediately determine what I do next, I just wanted to hear thoughts and which idea sounds most appealing to other people.

(...and i have far more ideas than the three displayed, but i think i'm going with one of these three first to establish and get more comfortable with this timeline, both for myself and others, so these are taking place predominantly in the past or around the time of stolid, the year 2057 with semi-advanced technology that is still very magic reliant)

I don't have titles in mind for all of these so I'm going by "key words" or phrases until it's set in stone. The names are probably not the final label.

here is a quick summary of each idea, and then the poll

OPTION ONE

"Faunvocation"

The dawn of the age of society, when animals begin to rise from their primitive tribes and join together for better or for worse, everything leading up to animals' claiming of the words "human" and "humanity" as they are forced to unite against the First Threat.

OPTION TWO

"Torches / Mother Fortuna"

A bitter spirit circles a feudal, traditionalist town in an age and region where magic has not yet been fully accepted. Unable to accept her death at the hands of human-driven fire, and armed with the power of the fire that consumed and replaced her own magic in death, a taste for vengeance spurs her into a violent revolution from beyond the grave.

OPTION THREE "Second Child, Restless Child"

In the time of war and a time of little ethical law, magic users are sent to magic schools as soon as their powers are discovered at very early ages, sometimes even at birth. Meanwhile, a caretaker at one such school in the Arctic Rookery, still struggling with her own losses at the hands of these laws, is on the brink of a crucial discovery. Flight, a frivolous idea seen only in Mira's tapestries and the ludicrous tales of flying animals' heartstones, is something she is desperate to achieve, for reasons practical and for reasons she refuses to remind herself of. Urging the four students she fears for the most into success, she must ponder whether her need of taking to the skies comes from an ache to stand up and fight or a cry to flee to the edges of the realm, away from the people who need her most.
