After getting out of tie and then getting back INTO tie again, I used random.org to chose between Stranded World and Impossible Situations, and the winner is…
Impossible Situations!
There will be a mini-Call on this later in the month (once I wrap up the current call). I expect this to be fun. 😉
As a note – November will not have a theme. November’s theme is “Oh, bog, nano.”

So, yesterday I opened the October Theme Poll, and the three September ≥$5 donors/patrons voted nearly immediately.
And I have a three-way tie between
1. Stranded World (Setting)
5. Impossible situations (motif)
and
9. Dragons Next Door (Setting)
Want to be my tie-breaker?
(It’s now Stranded World 2 and Impossible situations 2)
Become a Patreon Patron at the $5 level or higher OR Commission something via Paypal at least $5.
As a Patreon patron, you’ll have access to Patreon-only fiction. Donate $6 or more, and you’ll also put us over the threshold for a second chapter on both serials this Sunday, and get the Patreon that much closer to the first donation threshold.
Commission a story, and I’ll write you your very own fiction, 250 words for every $5.
All that, and you’ll be able to break the tie, thus single-handedly deciding the fate of my October writing AND possibly the October Giraffe Call.

During the month, I will post at least one piece a week, probably more, on that theme. If I chose to do a Giraffe Call that month, that will be the theme of the Call. If the Patreon campaign reaches the $75 goal level, the short story will be written within that theme.
If Patreon gets to the $150/month goal level, there will be a Q&A with a character that fits into the month’s theme.
Progress towards first Patreon Goal:

Now looking for a few prompts for microfic on Gender-Funkiness, this month’s Patreon theme.
I will write at least 100 words to at least one prompt from each prompter, sometime between now and Nano.
Prompts can be something from one of my settings, something setting-neutral, or something from another ‘verse.
(I find it amusing that, during Gender Funky Theme Month, I just binge-read all of El Goonish Shive. And now I have a strong urge to write more gender-funky stuff).
(Or gender-switch stuff. Or general gender oddities).
Let’s have fun with this!

I had a lot of votes for the September Theme Poll – which is awesome, because it means that a lot of people donated/tipped/commissioned in August, on top of my Patreon donor at the $5 level.
The votes were:
1 – Stranded
Gender-funkery
DND
Gender-Funkery
10 – DnD
Stranded
Love stories
So that’s two votes each for Stranded, Gender-funkery, and DND (Dragons Next Door).
I assigned these each a number (1,2,3), opened up my handy-dandy Random.org, and rolled.
And got 2! The theme for the month is gender-funkery, and now I get to figure out how to make a theme theme (one that isn’t a setting) work! Yay!

My Patreon supporters/donors (all two of them!) voted, and agreed on a topic.
The theme for August is Reiassan
Magic, war, battling religious interpretations, mysterious history: the story of Reiassan goes from a Dark-Ages-level technology right up to steampunk.
Learn about magic swords in their dark era, follow Rin & Girey across the continent in the End Of War era, or watch a steampunk academy in action in Edally Academy.
The landing page for Reiassan is here -http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/24221.html
