Short Story Poll #3
🕑 Added 2023-05-03 17:57:13 +0000 UTCNow that Small Fry is complete, it's time we vote on the next short story. There are some new ideas I've come up. I've also scrapped some of the ideas from the previous poll. I hope to find out what interests you guys the most. Take a look:
1. In the year 20XX, an alien spacecraft crashes in Antarctica. Upon inspection, it is revealed to be a massive, but dormant weapon. A brief international conflict ensues as nations fight for ownership of the technology. This ends when scientists determine that the weapon cannot be activated without a compatible pilot. Years pass before one researcher with a certain vendetta discovers that she might be able to get it working. This would be a darker story with a focus on casual destruction.
2. In the high-fantasy world of DnD, a powerful sorceress finds herself shrunk by a curse. Abandoned by all her party members except one, the unlikely duo will have to work together to restore her to normal. A moody tiny with diminished magic power and an inept giantess with little to no combat ability... What could go wrong? This would be a comedic story, with many touching moments. (Please not that this option will likely become longer than a typical short story)
3. A different take on the original tale of Gulliver's Travels. When a young woman becomes shipwrecked somewhere in the middle of the ocean, she wakes up on an island of giants. Later on she will find herself on yet another mysterious island, this time inhabited by tiny people. Follow her as she documents her experiences, and tries to find her way home. This can go in any direction. I'm taking ideas.
4. When a Brob is found dead in their apartment, no one expected the killer to turn themselves in. To everyone's surprise, the alleged killer is...a Lilli? Many find that hard to believe, but the story lines up. With no other leads, the case is set to be closed. That is until a Gulliveran detective and a Brob cop will team up to solve this murder mystery. This would be a serious story with unexpected twists.
5. Giantess doing fairly typical jobs to help others. The ideas I currently have in mind are demolition worker and beach lifeguard. I am still developing this one. This option would likely be an anthology series, in which each occupation is given one chapter. This will focus on a specific giant woman, or potentially a different one each time.
6. Other. If you have an idea you think is better than my four, comment below. Please be aware that unless I (really) like it, there isn't much chance I'll do it. Sfw ideas only, I won't write smut.

Jobs sounds the most intriguing, but the detective story sounds really good. Shame we canβt have all at once!
