Vibe Check: The Sleeping Dragon
🕑 Added 2022-05-02 15:06:27 +0000 UTCEDIT: I'm going to go ahead and treat Options 1 and 2 as a cumulative vote for the purposes of whether or not I should end The Sleeping Dragon and start a new fic btw. Because those two options make it clear that you want TSD to continue in SOME form.
So don't feel like you have to vote for one or the other to try and 'save' TSD or something. Both count towards keeping TSD going, I've decided.
Hey guys, so The Sleeping Dragon hit Chapter 47 today. Its currently the longest of my eight Patreon Exclusives, the Story Polls that update once every two weeks.
I figured, since we're nearing the end of a major arc in the story, now would be a great time to do a vibe check with my community, and see how you guys were feeling about The Sleeping Dragon and its future on my Patreon.
Basically, I just want to make sure nothing starts to feel too stagnant or rote, if that makes sense.
I'm left wondering if now is a good time to retire The Sleeping Dragon, and start a new DxD story. Or even if it's time to wrap up The Sleeping Dragon if only to immediately start a sequel. After all that Issei has been through, the title 'The Sleeping Dragon' doesn't quite fit anymore, so I was thinking something like 'Both Eyes Open' for a sequel title.
So, please vote on the poll. Below, I'll elaborate on each option.
1. Just keep going with The Sleeping Dragon: I'll take this to mean I should just keep going, of course, and barring any notable fall-off in interest/readers, or complete burn-out on my part, I'll work towards getting The Sleeping Dragon to One Hundred Chapters, eventually.
2. Wrap it up, start Both Eyes Open Sequel: I'll wrap up The Sleeping Dragon in the next three or so chapters, and we'll then immediately jump into a sequel which I'll call Both Eyes Open. Not much will change, though starting a sequel might get new eyes on the fic, idk?
3. Wrap it up, find a new DxD fic idea to write: I'm not going to stop writing DxD entirely, because I know how big my DxD fanbase is. But hey, if the majority of you guys feel The Sleeping Dragon has run its course, I'll wrap it up in the next three or so chapters and we'll explore a new DxD fic, to be workshopped/voted on in a different poll.
If you have the time after you vote for one of the options above, I would greatly appreciate if you posted any ideas you might have in the comments down below. Whether its ideas for girls/directions the story should go in for Options 1 or 2, or full new DxD fic ideas for Option 3.
Thanks for reading!

It’s been hot but I want to see what you can do with either another character or with an OC/SI, maybe Kiba? He has an awesome Sacred Gear but the way he uses it is trash and it seems really easy for “older” women to be interested in him. Whereas making your own character could also be interesting to see.

After reading "Maidenless No Longer" and enjoying your other longer works like "A Motherfucking Dragon" I'm interested to see what you could do with a full DxD story that isn't completely smut.
