Just using the runner up sounds a lot easier to me. These polls are a lot of work to do right, and I think doing them once a year is plenty.

I'm good with Neovian Gothic. Though, just one question, is there are a particular meaning to the phrase "Neovian Gothic"? "Gothic" has a lot of connotations, obviously some more relevant than others. Here's are the ones which are probably the most relevant: - First and foremost, it just means anything Neovian. "Gothic" is just being used as a fancy emphasizing word.
- "Gothic" as in the architecture style, "Neovian Gothic" obviously being a Neopian version of "Victorian Gothic" since Neovia is based on a English city/town during the Victorian era. So thus the issue would be about the architecture of Neovia.
- "Gothic fiction", notably the sub genre "Gothic horror", as the Victorian era was when many well known horror/monster icons were either written or the time period the story takes place. This includes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Edgar Allan Poe's works, and Charles Dicken's works.

Generally we tell people that the theme is the theme, however they choose to interpret it. So "Neovian Gothic" could be any of those things, though maybe it'd be helpful to have a list of possible meanings on the pages and posts talking about the theme.

Well, feel free to reference my points. I figured that point one was going to be the answer as the two below it would then also fit into it, but mentioning the other two has started giving me some ideas. |

This theme is my jam, I've been waiting for it since it was first featured in the theme polls! My version of this theme would be centered on the Catacombs and the denizens within, sort of like a sitcom of all the cultists etc. as if they were living in a block of appartments. Possibly with some mystery and I'm sure Addams family expies will find a way to pop up somehow. (Yes I know my ideas don't exactly have a habit of happening at the moment but this is really really my jam) |

Alrighty then, Neovian Gothic it is! Once I hear from the editor we'll start planning for Collab #14!

ooooh . . . dunno if my writer's block will loosen up, but I do have that idea for a Neovian flower language, like the victorian version except with the various odd flora of Neopia.
