Reader's Choice Narrative Experience

Week 1 Poll Winner: ABE

Results:
❤️ Callie - 3
🌶️ Abe - 4
😮 Ane - 2
🤯 Ken - 2
😭 Harry - 1
🤩 New never-before seen character - 3

It's official! The next chapter will be in Abe's POV! Is anyone surprised? 😆
Callie comes close at second, tying with the choice that I labeled as a "new never-before seen character" 🥰

Seeing the results and how two of the choices have tied, I would like to address the situation wherein in case this happens in the future. In case of a tie, I would do my best to include both winning choices in the story as long as it was within possibility. If Abe and Callie tied in the poll of which POV the readers would like the next chapter to be in, then I would write both of their POVs and I believe that that's only fair.

However, there might be a situation wherein it would be impossible to include both winning choices. For example, if the poll is "Who would you want to be [redacted]'s first kiss be?", then it would not be possible for me to include two characters should both of them win the poll. In which case, we would do a revote or we might also extend the voting period long enough to tip the scales. Kinda like waiting for one deciding vote to factor in.

Hope that clears things up! If you have any questions, please let me know 🌹

Again, thank you to everyone who voted and I hope you guys like the next chapter in Abe'e POV! 🥳
I'm so excited that I started writing already even before the official announcement 😆
I also want to thank those who reacted to the chapter (sans the votes) 🥹 I really appreciate each and every one of you guys ❤️

See you guys on Sunday and stay safe! 🫶
