I’ve just finished the first draft of another Valentine Divergence story, and a month ago I finished another fantasy novel. I’m probably going to start something new soon, and I wondered if my readers might have a strong preference among the story ideas I’m considering:

1. A portal fantasy, where the portal changes a person’s sex when they pass through it and maybe transforms them in other ways (I haven’t worked out all the details of the setting yet).

2. A story about a superhero who cocoons and metamorphoses every winter, emerging in Spring with a different body and different powers.

3. A sixth Nat Holcomb story. Possibly the final story about her.

4a. A third Kazmina & Launuru story, a direct sequel to “When Wasps Make Honey”.

4b. Or a prequel about Kazmina’s father Znembalan, set when Kazmina was a little girl.

5. A story about people who are transformed to replace the deceased children of rich people.

6. A world where Dr. Jekyll’s invention is rediscovered, and becomes a popular recreational drug in the 1960s; everyone who tries it gets a different transformation and personality change while under its influence.

7. A story about one of those reality-altering mages that Bill Hart and The Professor like to write about, who has a limited range — a few hundred or thousand miles. Someone who’s traveled outside their range while they made their changes and then come back will notice them, and get freaked out, and become a target of new changes.

8. A couple of different stories in the yin-yang magic setting I outlined in an email to the tg_fiction mailing list a few months ago: magical devices are powered by yin and yang energy, transported to homes and businesses via magical conduits from power plants where it's drained from slaughtered livestock. Spills and leaks of yin or yang can have unfortunate consequences like an electrocution, an oil spill, or a nuclear power plant meltdown.

9. A story vaguely inspired by “Days of Future Past” where someone goes back in time aiming to become their own younger self, but accidentally winds up in someone else’s body and further back in time than they intended. Urban fantasy, not superheroes.

10. A space probe that’s terraforming a planet and building new bodies for the stored minds of its uploaded colonists. The AI decides that a 50/50 sex ratio is inefficient for a new colony and decides to put most of the male minds in female bodies as well.

11a. A couple of Twisted stories: one is loosely inspired by Orphan Black, with clones of a first-generation Twisted being studied to see if there’s any common pattern in how and when they Twist.

11b. Or a sequel to “Twisted Throwback,” following up on Emily’s uncle Jack and cousin Tim.

12. An RPG portal fantasy, with players becoming their characters; with a unique twist to hopefully set it apart from all the dozens of other such stories: it happens all at once to every group of RPG players in the world, as well as to stage and film actors.
Edited 2014/12/9: I've written this one as a 12,000 word novelette. Any volunteers to beta read it?

13. A colonizing probe that copies the colonist’s minds into the bodies of local sentient beings.

14. Well-intentioned aliens try to help Earth’s transsexuals by creating a nanite plague that will transform everyone with gender dysphoria. But they don’t understand human brains as well as they think and there are some false negatives and false positives...

15. A prequel to “Quarantine Cove”, about the Masters abducting people from Earth and their human slaves revolting.

16. More stories in the “Creative Commons Souls” setting.

17. A sequel to “The Family that Plays Together”, several years later when Leslie and Taylor are in college, and the worlds have drawn closer together.

Let me know which of those sound most interesting to you.
