Introduction
Alright, so I'm just finishing up the Knock Knock series (When War Comes Knocking and When the Knocking Starts it Never Stops) and I know I want to continue writing Elsanna, but I didn't want to make it a big story deal – so I've decided to work solely off reader prompts. Down below is how all this will work, what is included in each one-shot and what I will not do.
Addressing the two most important things – I will only write unrelated Elsanna and I will not write smut. I have no problem with implied sexual content and the beginning of sexual content, but I will not write a full out sex scene. If that's what you're expecting, well, don't – I like writing stories, not pointless erotica.
If you are all good with that (or at least semi-okay with) then we're going to have a blast. Why? Because this is what is included in each one-shot:
-At least 13 pages (I have a habit of writing windfalls, so this is the minimum for each 'chapter')
-A brief pre-history (so I don't have to waste time explaining shit when you just want to read the thing)
-(Optional:) A brief summary of what occurs after the end
-Elsanna
-Your ideas
I will write Elsanna in any situation you wish (if it's the most voted and I'm not extremely opposed to it because of disturbing content). If you want them as original superheroes (ex. Ice Maiden/Earth Force) or existing superheroes (ex. Ironman/Captain America) in that world, the real world or the Frozen world; or perhaps you want them in specific settings or jobs like cop, college, jail, criminal, gang, military, war-zone, assassin, cop/college, military/military prisoner, prison guard/inmate and so on, I will do it. If there are certain events in my Knock Knock series that you wish happened differently I'll also do that – because I honestly think that it'd be cool to have some alternate possibilities within the story.
Now, how this whole system type thing works. At the end of each chapter (or introduction, in this case) you will put what you want to see next in the comments. If an existing comment catches your eye, reply to it with; "Yes! This one!" or whatever. The idea with the most replies—which I let compile for a couple of days—will be the one that I select. If there are multiple highly voted, I will choose one and, at the end of the next chapter, I will have a list of popular ideas from the last comment compilation which you'll be free to vote on or continue with your own suggestions.
If there is an idea I select with a layout you are uninterested in reading that is perfectly fine – you don't have to read it, but you do need to comment at the bottom of that chapter if you want a say in what the next one-shot is going to be.
If you want more of my writing or simply want to see how I write / operate, check out my Knock Knock series (which is much less grim than the tags and summaries let on).
At any rate, this is the end of my spiel. Please give suggests and vote in the comment section below, and I'll choose an idea in 3-4 days. After which, give me 3-7 days to write, edit and post the chapter.
Cheers!
Edit: This voting system I mentioned is based off the commenting system of Archive of Our Own. Here, since the comments are separate from the chapters, you can just post what you want without regard to "replies". However, I would prefer if you comment on the most recently posted chapter so that I can keep the most recent prompts straight.
