sithlorde1988 here! Just drafting this quick update to let people know that the poll to decide Ash's harem members has officially closed! However, it ended in a 3 way tie! I had only planned to put the 2 most voted girls in. So now I have to decide if I should let all 3 in or randomize which of the three top voted girls to not include. Though only 3 of the girls failed to get a vote at all, the final result was 5-5-5-2-1-0-0-0. I suppose I'll list the results here.
1st- 5 votes each (3 way tie): Anabel/May/Korrina
4th- 2 votes: Marnie
5th-1 vote: Jasmine
6th- no votes each (3 way tie): Bianca (Heroes)/Lillie/Silvia
I'm thinking I should've used some less obscure choices, possibly replacing Bianca (Heroes) and Silvia with probably Shauna and either Misty, Mallow or Lana (not sure which of those three it'd be though honestly). So for now I'll sort out a randomizer to break the tie I guess. But my question to you, the readers is this: After the new poll I put up on my profile (how to format Shuffled Journeys), do I re-do the harem vote with some of the girls on the polls swapped out for others, let all 3 of the top 3 girls in the harem to round it out, let all the girls who got voted into the harem, or scrap the harem altogether and just proceed the story as a singular pairing (most likely either Ash/Iris or Ash/Leaf if so, possibly Ash and both girls)? I won't post that as a poll FOR NOW, but after my current poll is done (which will be up for roughly a week (maybe two if extra time is needed for tiebreaking purposes) I might make that question another poll. That said, feel free to give feedback on these results either via reviews or in PMs. As for my other fics, I have plans to post more chapters in the coming days. So until then, sithlorde1988 out!
