Poll battle - 01/05/20 👀✨🎉

[Duckling]

Hello again
It’s time for the next poll battle on the Shanniiwrites Forums

How will this work?

•There will be a theme and a poll to decide on the minimum number of polls for the next competition
• you have twelve days to create your polls and one day to vote for the best polls, I will announce the winner and the next theme on the next thread
•The winner will get a badge and can pick the next theme if they want
•You don’t have to sign up, just create enough polls and have fun

The rules

•At least one of your polls has to be related to the weekly theme
•You have to create at least one number rating, multiple choice and single choice poll
•You are allowed to chat on the thread but please don’t spam it with off topic posts or random emojis
•You can still participate if you’ve won the contest before.
•Don’t copy others!
•No double entries! You can only enter each week’s contest once.
•No inappropriate polls! If you have too many swear words or 18+ content I’ll message you and give you 24h to change it, if you don’t change it by then, you’ll automatically be disqualified for the current and the following week

And most importantly…

BE NICE TO EACH OTHER AND HAVE FUN!

This week’s eyemazing theme was picked by last week’s poll battle champion @anon80318563
And the theme is…
STORY TROPES

You have to create at least 6 polls to participate this week

Side note: This isn’t a rule, but it would be nice if you could post all your polls in one post to keep the thread organized and make it easier for me to check if you have all needed polls to qualify for this contest

Be creative and have fun

I could read a story with a Mary Sue as long as she wasn’t the focus

My cute-meet would start cliche as a shy type of girl would put a letter into her crush’s locker. Unfortunately her crush recently switched lockers so she ends up putting it into a random persons locker… and it would go from there

and no it isn’t a bad boy, a jock, a bully, or the shy nice boy that would never do anything wrong, and no her crush doesn’t get jealous cause they never noticed her before

[anon80318563]

I love that cute-meet! I haven’t even read a story like that yet, but it sounds like something I might read.

Poll 1 ~

Story Summary: A town called TropeTown outside of the Reader World full of trope characters who only exist to play the tropes in a story. A trope character acts out of his assigned trope and is assigned to therapy with a bunch of other characters of the same trope. Turns out the TropeTown council wants to “retire” their trope and so they fight to do whatever they can to save it and give themselves a shot at a life where they can make their own story.
