After lo0king at my writing goals and plans, I realized that I need to pick one of two stories to resume first between Fate of Souls and The Crystern: Heart of Adventures. Both are planned to be resumed, but I can't resume both of them at the same time due to time constraints and the necessity of having a buffer. One will return first, and the other will return sometime later, probably a few months later.

Therefore, I've decided to host a poll, asking all of you which you would prefer to return first between the two, since the RR Follower counts are similar between them. Here is some information between the two and what will happen upon the return.

For Fate of Souls, it will be a complete rewrite. The plot will remain largely the same, but I will flesh out some aspects first. One of those is a couple of changes to the System, and there will also be a change to Carter's background to make him more work-able. I wll also introduce two new characters before they enter the Dungeon, so that there's a bit more to work with in the Dungeon, and will give Carter a little bit more training before entering it, including the introduction of a few monsters. That will help with some of the issues relating to the Dungeon that are in the current version.

As a preview: one of the new characters is the crush that Carter briefly mentioned in the current version, Dakota (or Koda, as Carter calls him), an expert martial artist. He will be the primary 'physical' fighter of the team in the Dungeon, while the other new character will take over the role of healer for Lucas.

Fate of Souls will have a temporary rapid release rate upon return to make up for having to start over with reading, as well as because of the fact that some of the early chapters will simply be revised versions of what's already up. Once we've caught up, I will either continue the temporary faster upload rate, or drop it down to every three days.

For The Crystern: Heart of Adventures, the story will continue where it left off. Whether I will do a temporary rapid upload rate for a week or two more, or drop it down to every three days, I do not know yet.

Which story would you prefer to see returned first between the two? Link to the poll in the post-chapter note. Poll results are not absolute, but will instead help me to decide which to go with.
