I’m working my way through the final chapters of a story and now planning out an entirely new one. But I don’t yet know how to put it out there. It’s another series of one shots and I’m trying to figure out which characters to put forward and in what order. I’ve figured out what will probably be chapter 1 but not sure about the others. So would you do a poll of your readers? If I put a poll out here, would you want to vote in it? Or should I just go with whatever works. In previous stories, I just added each one shot based on whatever ones I wrote first. Thoughts?

I can understand that. This thought that I’m having is in part a result of another question I asked previously about when to add characters in. I had a few people comment on my story Scooby Gang Time that they were looking forward to Willow being involved, and then within a few chapters I did include them and then reviews dropped off quite a bit. So I’m wondering if I should consult people who are fans of this other fandom.

Only relevant discussion to my originals (as I’m not planning another fanfic). TBH, as there’s an overarching plot/theme across all of them, I typically won’t consult readers, it’s about figuring out the universe I’m writing in (or making up a holiday/halloween oneshot).
