《Genesis》Poll ~ Not A Chapter
Advertisement
So, as you guys may know, I'm a freshman in college now, yay! What that means is that I predominantly spend my time doing school related stuff and try to write on the weekend.
Well, though I say I'm spending time on school related things, reality isn't always like that and as such, I have gaps in my schedule. Specifically, I usually have two and a half hours of free time on Monday mornings between classes and about an extra hour or so on Monday and Wednesday afternoon depending on the contents of my math 31 "laboratory". During that time, I don't really have much to do and would rather spend it writing, thinking of ideas, or playing video games. That's where you guys come in.
This poll is meant to see what direction you guys want the story to go in and help give me a general idea of what to write because, as I mentioned before, I'm writing on a whim. Before I go off track again, I'll just go a bit more in depth of the poll options.
1- Keep doing what you're doing. AKA, just write whatever pops up in my head as it pops up in my head. Story subject to my whims and potential oversights/plot-holes without proper planning. Personally, I'd prefer to have a better plan, but my plans usually end up getting skewed anyways. Well, I'm just writing for fun so this option is fine too.
2- Focus on the back end. AKA, take a look more on how the game is run, who does what, and potential problems that arise with it. This entails chapters with the Aspects, Adam, Eve, and some real world interaction on Realtek's end. It may get a little technical at times and I'll need to do some research and jot down notes to keep the facts straight. Another thing may be to incorporate the dive gear's application in various other fields such as rehabilitation, training, etc.

3- Focus on the game end. AKA, focusing on the players and their interactions with the world. This would be centered more on players such as Lexy and Drake along with other party members but would include their interactions with the Aspects, Adam, and Eve in game.
OR
I could focus on Adam's job as admin/GM and his role in game. While he may never exactly be off the clock, he'll still be capable of exploring the world of Eden, adventure, craft, and any other such activities between his jobs.
4- Screw that, I got a better idea. AKA, if you've got an idea you would like to see implemented, lay it on me in the comments or by pm if you want to keep it private.
Actually, regardless of what option you pick, any ideas or suggestions would be a great help. All votes and comments will be taken into consideration.
In other news, thanks for the review, sa1880612m. You actually hit it spot on with that. This is my first time writing fiction for fun and the first time I'm attempting to write an ongoing fiction on this sort of scale. One to five page short stories don't count. If anybody has suggestions on how to make Genesis more cohesive as a whole or would like to help edit the story, please contact me. Do note, however, that I do not plan to make any major revisions or rewrites for quite a while. If I plan on doing a rewrite, I won't do it until I have quite a few more chapters written and will be sure to up a new fiction page dedicated to it.
Oh, and thank you guys once again for reading my story. I'm just glad that people find it interesting enough to follow and continue to read as the chapters come out.
Poll now closed. I'll be doing whatever I'm doing so... don't blame me if it is a heaping mess. Not too much thought goes into this honestly. I just get an idea, try to make it work, and write. Updates every 1~2 weeks*.
*If I feel like writing.

For one, even if someone tried to tell her, she doesn't know the language. Number two, have you heard about the sunk cost fallacy?
