What should I submit next?

[cjhuitt he/him]

I've challenged myself to write a short story each day for this month, and so far have written exactly one each day.  I thought I'd post one for critique, but as an added exercise I thought I'd see what titles interest people the most.  Each of the titles is a complete story that would be one submission.  They range from just over 1k words up to nearly 4k, and average a little over 1700, though I left off the word counts so as to not have them influence the voting.

 

I set it so you can vote for multiple titles, but please keep it to your top 5 if you can.

Interestingly, the 2 others who voted so far... picked the other two titles I was considering voting on

Wow, that's quite a challenge. Well done on sticking with it so far.

There's only one answer to this question, what on Earth is 'Elephantine vs. The Stoat' about?? I have to know...

 

having said that, I'm an engineer, so I'm kind of curious about 'Birth of the Engineer' too!

 

P.S. - Is NaNoWriMo not difficult enough for you??!!

Without too many details, both 'Elephantine vs. The Stoat' and 'Birth of the Engineer' are superhero/villain-esque shorts.

 

And funny thing about NaNo... apparently it is not, since I haven't been writing as much as I want lately.  That's one part of the challenge.  The other part was making myself come up with complete stories, that can be told in a short space.  So far, I've only had one where I had to start summarizing with reckless abandon once I got an hour into it, just to finish it during the day.

 

Also, after 15 days of the challenge, I have written 25,273 words in these stories, so just about on NaNo pace.

Good work on the writing!  Elephantine vs. the Stoat  and Birth of the Engineer were my first choices too, for the same reasons (glad there are other engineers that like to write...)

 

Hope to see one or more of them up here soon.

That's a neat idea for a challenge. I may have to steal it sometime.
