June 2024 Short Story Poll
🕑 Added 2024-06-15 07:50:09 +0000 UTCTime for the monthly short story poll! This month I've got a trio of heavy hitters for y'all, and I'm genuinely super curious what's gonna come out on top. Usually I have a pretty solid guess, but not this time!
Ancestral Relics (Limnus): When a dying stranger stumbles out of the iodine mists below the village of Six-Bridge, raving that he's found one of the ancient relics of the Limnan ancestors, three of the Elders living in the depths are dispatched on a mission to investigate his story. But the molten surface of Limnus is parallel even for Titans... (This one's got some... fairly significant reveals about the Known Multiverse in it!)
Sunken Gods (Ishveos): At the mouth of the Santrich river, where the river becomes the sea, lie the shrines of abandoned gods, their inhabitants doomed to starve and wither, unless they can attract the interest of one of the deep dwellers of the ocean. (First look at the setting of More Gods Than Stars!)
Mage Errant What If: This one's a little different! This one will take an AMA format, where I'll let patrons ask me questions about how things might have gone different in the story. What would have happened if Hugh pacted with Bakori? What if Hugh and his friends had accepted Avah's offer of sanctuary during the events of A Traitor In Skyhold, and joined the Radhan? What if Alustin hadn't been caught and arrested by Indris' cult during the events of Jewel of the Endless Erg? Y'all pick the questions, I'll give summaries of the alternate timelines, and maybe some of their branches! (I've been thinking about doing this one for a while, pretty excited about it. This one's strictly non-canon, btw, there's no time travel or crosstime shenanigans in the Aetheriad.)

That's just too many good options, far too many! You can't even comprehend how many what ifs I've considered!! But new lore is like crack for me!!!

All of these are too tempting, it’s cruel to only let us pick one
