I have some fanfic ideas that I'd like your opinions on, so I know which one to devote all of my time to when it comes to flushing out further chapters. I'll read the summary of each and would be obliged if you'd all vote.

[ Ignore the fact Loki is strolling across a rainbow that happens to span a great deal of the Quarantine, he's up there because it helps him think. He reads off the notes on his phone. ]

Story One: Pride and Two Pantheons. "Thor is sick of the patriarchal shit going down in Asgardia so she tries to batter Cul Borson, the God of Fear who has usurped the throne, into a far less intimidating cocopuff but he has magical spells to defend himself. It was pretty obvious he was dickering about like a creep and was always going to try something of the sort, so Thor has already thought of back-up in the form of Nicola Hades, a demi-god with whom, through the trials incited by their battles against Borson, she forms a steamy intimate attachment".

Story Two: Who's A Pretty Bird? "Victress Va-Va-Voom is madly in love with Stan Redwing, but unfortunately Stan was born with an irrevocable desire to devour everything metal he sees and Miss Voom decided she wanted a metal everything to up her career as an alternative lingerie model. Can Stan overcome his need to nibble on Miss Voom's metallic fingertips every time they speak? Does Voom think he's super hot and is she all that bothered? And will her father, General Scarlet Hunk, even allow the match"?

Story the Third: Strange Crafts of Love. "Two sorcerers from two different worlds, Steven and Stoven, collide when two Earths smash together. Sadly, Stoven is spliced with a Lovecraftian horror and is convinced, until he meets his alternate-reality self, that no one will ever find his tentacles or extra arms sexy. But Steven has a dark secret ... He was also the Kinkmaster Unmatched in his universe, and his tastes run seedier than a few extra limbs, yet can they override their wild lusty affair and find a pathway to each others' hearts? Several, in Stoven's case. Time and accidentally conceived octopi children will tell".

[ Loki turns his face to the sun, shielding his eyes with a satisfied look on his face. Those are far better thoughts to be mulling over than visions and dreams which either horrify or embarrass, and he's had quite enough of moping for the moment. ]

I hope that gives you all something new to think about. Constructive crit welcome, of course.

[ Be still his heart, a fellow enthusiast! ]

Suggestions are welcome, if you have any.

[Stephen's tolerance of ridiculous jokes at his expense is pretty high, especially when he knows it would just get his alternate self all riled up too.

And it's way more entertaining than the other crap going on this month.]

Well, Steven's likely left a trail of broken hearts in his wake. Could be one of them decides if they can't have him then no one can. Good source of tension and drama, that sort of thing.

[ikols]

Mmm, that's a good angle. Maybe Midnightwing, and he's so overcome with crazy love he kidnaps Stoven! To Brotham City.

[suckstobestrange]

Definitely sets the stage for a super-dramatic rescue scene. Could also set up a good fight later, you know the whole 'it's all because you're with me' type thing.

[ikols]

This is getting very dark, Stephen. Are you sure you've never written fic before?

[suckstobestrange]

I can neither confirm nor deny.

[No, but he's been around enough to catch enough daytime soaps to know how these things work.]

[ikols]

[ Mysterious!! ]

Any other pairings you'd like to request? Your twin is into Va-Va-Voom with some notable interest.

[suckstobestrange]

Well that'd be one hell of a threesome.

[ikols]

That's what I said!!

[suckstobestrange]

Great minds think alike.

[Poor babyface, you've sown your own ruin by not workshopping when you had the chance.]

[ikols]

We're naming the octopi children now, it's very touching. They're each named after a bone in the hand because Stoven misses having any.

[suckstobestrange]

Clearly Steven will be a lovely mother. And good call on the naming scheme, there's tons of bones to choose from.

[ikols]

Pick a few? Don't make me Google.

[suckstobestrange]

Hmm... Lunate, Hamate and Capitate could be triplets. Assuming you're not going the route of all eight kids at once like some kind of eldritch litter.

[ikols]

Well ... Not now. I didn't know there would be octopi preferences.

[suckstobestrange]

Now far be it for me to stifle your creative choices. I'm sure Steven would handle either option with grace.

[ikols]

Maybe you should both brainstorm ...
