Chapter Text
Alright, so the reason why I'm redoing the first poll is because, after working on "Grimms", I realized that I didn't want to do another sci-fi space opera so soon. It's not really burnout, it's more along the lines of me wanting to do something different, expand my horizons. Based on the votes, "CRMEN of the Galaxy" was going to be the next movie adaptation, but I just don't have it in me to do another space movie. I'll eventually get to "CRMEN of the Galaxy" since I really do like GOTG, but for now, I'll have to put it on the backburner.
I'll also have to shelve the runner-up pick, "The Gynoid". I love "The Terminator"...but I also didn't want to do another James Cameron movie where Summer Rose and Qrow Branwen are the main characters.
So, here's a list of movies I'm open to working on once I'm finished with "Grimms". Just like the initial poll, all you have to do is comment below which of the following choices you'd like to see next.
Also, feel free to suggest some ideas you'd like to see for future chapters, I'm all ears.
(EDIT, 1/24/21: I finished "Grimms"! Finally! So, the movie list has been updated)
(EDIT, 1/4/21: Moving this up to chapter 1 since I just realized that finding the poll might be a bit tedious, especially since we're up to thirty chapters now)
