Hello there!
I have long been a fan of National Novel Writing Month, and credit it with having increased my output, especially in the early years. In 2010, I wrote 50,000 words of absolute garbage and have done it most years since then in one form or another, sometimes just adding 50,000 words onto an existing work. 2014/2015/2016 were all spent on adding to (and then finishing) 2023-11-03 23:16:29 +0000 UTC View Post

The voting is concluded!
Some fun stats pulled from the spreadsheet:

- 711 votes cast!
- Most people cast only a single vote for their preferred option
- The most number of votes cast was eight (out of ten), which with approval voting means that people were essentially voting for "anything but... 2023-10-27 21:15:35 +0000 UTC View Post

The poll is still ongoing, and will end in about a week, probably on Friday. Since the votes are weighted by tier, you can't see the "true" results, but here they are:

Most of this is copy+pasted from the last post, but still relevant here. Last paragraph is new.
This is a poll for volume 4 of Thresholder. Each volume of Thresholder has a different setting, and volume 4 is going to be no different. This is a list of options to vote on. Volume 1 was 28 chapters, Volume 2 was 37 chapters, and I'm hoping that Volume 3 is somewhere between those. With eight chapters done so far, that means...
