Taking the day off from the "what should I work on tomorrow?" polls because I'm trying an experimental WIP Wednesday thing tomorrow and wanna concentrate on that.

yes I am absolutely doing the song-exchange thing, lol.

[suzukiblu]

I am gonna take the month off from doing daily polls, I think, and concentrate on writing a thing for NaNoWriMo. Not that I won't be writing anything else, I will definitely be writing other things, just I'm gonna make a NaNo project my priority.

Buuuuut due to my current hyperfixations being what they are, I am absolutely gonna make that NaNo project a DC fic, haha. I'm just not sure which idea I wanna go for, so here's some elevator pitches and a poll for y'all to help me decide!

(not guaranteeing I'll write the winner, just I'm gonna use the poll rankings to help me decide which one to try for, if that makes sense)

elevator pitches:

de-aged Kon + the Lane-Kent family

Kon gets magically de-aged to ten years old and Clark and Lois and also-ten!Jon take them in for the duration. Featuring Clark being an oblivious dad, self-discovery enby!Kon, and adorable little-kid crushes on various Robins from various Superboys. Also featuring Consequences and the results thereof.

Jazz and Jason go to Arkham for very different reasons and in very different ways

Jazz Fenton just got hired at Arkham Asylum and everyone keeps saying that the Red Hood is an incredibly difficult patient to work with, but she's more concerned with why no one's been feeding this starving baby halfa the ectoplasm he needs to LIVE. Featuring Jazz smuggling in said ectoplasm, half-feral Jason just delirious enough from hunger to unthinkingly drink the Lazarus water this doctor is pushing on him, and all the complicated shit that happens after that.

Kon is too trans for this pregnancy shit

Closeted!Kon accidentally gets knocked up by a random hookup and now has to explain his gender identity to everyone he knows and also have a baby while NOT explaining his sex life to either the Kents or Smallville. Featuring fake baby daddy Bart, awkward but trying his best Clark, and Tim and Cassie not understanding why Kon and Bart didn't tell them they were sleeping together.

the one where Clark is trans but Kon isn't, and no one actually knows this

Clark is a trans man and Kon is not, but some assumptions have been made by the rest of the world. Featuring Kon's constant escalating internal crisises, Young Justice and Cadmus making some understandable mistakes while trying to respect and validate "him", and Match accidentally being the one true ally for his cister.

Krypton lives and Kara Zor-El did not sign up for this

Kryptonian diplomat Kal-El goes to Earth and gets cloned about it, and somehow Kara is now stuck babysitting her baby cousin's teenage clones back on Krypton while said baby cousin is busy arguing with the council about how said teenage clones should be granted sanctuary and Kryptonian citizenship. Featuring Kon and Match wanting their superpowers back and not understanding why no one wants them to be weapons anymore, accidental mom General Kara Zor-El, and pretty young thing Lena Luthor wearing increasingly weaponized business formal to these intergalactic custody hearings.

obligatory sugar daddy Tim/sugar baby Kon AU

Early-days YJ Tim finds out that Superboy is working for and LIVING in a lab that once tried to mind control him and does the rational thing about it, which is to go "meet" him as Tim Drake and convince him to let him buy him an apartment and pay for his entire life. Featuring accidental sugar daddy Tim, very willing sugar baby Kon, and Clark being extremely stressed about the "daddy" Kon hasn't told him the actual name of.

the Gotham Kid

Cadmus successfully copied Superman's memories into the Kid when they made him, and post-Engine City the Kid runs away from being Superboy so as not to risk any supervillains finding out about said memories and hurting any of the people in them. Featuring being a homeless superpowered teenager in Gotham, meeting a very angry dead Robin and a very cute alive one, and keeping your mouth shut just to make sure there's no risk of Superman ever hearing your voice and finding you.

YJ den mom Black Zero

Kon successfully drags Black Zero back to his own reality for rehabilitation, the responsible adults there all realize they can't ethically dump him in the Phantom Zone for interdimensional crimes they only know of through hearsay, Kon doesn't see the problem with this, and Red Tornado did not ask for a reality-conquering coworker but now he's got one. Featuring Harm regretting all of his life choices, a very pissed-off superclone fistfighting Doug Side, and if anything ever happens to Young Justice, Black Zero will destroy this entire reality and then himself.

YJ packs up and gets pupped

Stray!Kon presents as an omega and doesn't know what to do about it, and Young Justice decides the obvious solution is to pack up but also accidentally knocks him up with an entire litter in the process because whoops, apparently Kryptonian-human hybrids ARE fertile after all. Featuring the comedy of errors that is every single adult in their lives not being told what's going on except for Max and Red Tornado, because obviously Max and Red Tornado, and also YJ setting up a secret identity for Kon and him discovering he kind of likes it.

"something I will supply in the replies!!"

Legit, friends, make your pitches, I am both actively listening and easily influenced.

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND poll!

[suzukiblu]

Slightly different kind of poll today; not one for tomorrow's writing, but an interest check for a potential upcoming project! I have some financial issues I need to straighten out ASAP, so I'm considering doing more of another WIP via Ko-fi thank-yous, along the lines of what I did with the soulmate-kidnapping.

( once the soulmate-kidnapping is all posted, anyway, hah; I've still got like 1400 words left to write of the 7k I owe for that. )

Basically, the concept is I'd set up a Ko-fi goal, and any related donations would be translated to additional word count for the WIP of choice. My current assumption is I should go with one of the ones that are already going up on AO3 and that I already have a solid outline established for, so I'm considering a few of those right now. I miiiiight do a similar poll with some other WIPs that haven't been posted on the site yet and decide from there, though.

Therefore, an interest check!

bonus WIP poll!

This is a slightly odd thing to do, probably, but I'm taking my roommate to IKEA tomorrow and have just recently realized that I DIRELY need at least a couple new bookshelves since I've collected a metric fuck-ton of books and knickknacks that were previously at my mom's place and have extremely, extremely limited storage space for it all.

But also I'm straight-up broke and still need to cover parking and gas and groceries/dog necessities this week, so in an attempt to get my room in a more usable condition ASAP while also saving myself shipping costs at a later date, I'm gonna run a Ko-fi goal in conjunction with a WIP poll of some popular faves that I've neglected a little bit lately, and if I hit the Ko-fi goal by noon EST tomorrow, I will write 5k in the winner of the poll, and also buy myself some bookshelves! If I DON'T hit the goal by noon tomorrow, I'll just write 2k for the poll winner (and alternately, if the goal happens to overfund, welp, then I'll just write a little extra, hah).

yes I really do need shelves this bad, my room is NOTHING but boxes right now and I have nooooowhere to put the things inside said boxes, it is a PROBLEM. 😅

In theory, everyone wins?? Or at least everyone gets some writing!

ETA: link to my dang Ko-fi now ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THIS POST, hahaSOB. Sorry 'bout the oversight.
