With Duke Nukem Forever dead and jackrabbit gone, what else is left to talk about here? I'll tell you what: another almost annual story poll, that's what!

Your goal is easy as pie (or Pop-Tarts). Choose the title of the story you would like me to write and I shall endeavor to write it in an expeditious manner. I require at least eight votes to declare this legit. Is that possible? Let's find out!

The choices:

I Turned Off the Radio But the Martians Wouldn’t Shut Up
The Clay Doll
Incident at Fuller Lake
Road, Trip

I can vote 8 times if it would help!

The Clay Doll sounds creepy. I like it.

I like the Martian one. It sounds suitably B-movie sci-fi-ish.

By the way, I meant 8 votes total, not 8 votes for the winning choice. I'm not expecting miracles!

And yes, please feel free to explain your choice, as you have been doing.

Six votes and a three-way tie. Two more to make it legit. We can do it!

I went with the voices in the head one because that happens to me all the time.

The poll has nine votes, woo.

But there is currently a tie. More must vote!

You will have to write both or combine them into one story. I Turned Off the Radio But the Martian's Clay Doll Wouldn’t Shut Up.

Intriguing...but no. :P

After reading "I Turned Off the Radio But the Martians Wouldn’t Shut Up" I got Autograph's "Turn up the Radio" stuck in my head. Therefore, I vote for it.

After successfully cajoling Q into voting, there is now a leader in the polls. Should I declare a winner or wait to see if there is a last minute rush to the polling station?

Eleven votes! The web spiders must want you to write!

Yeah, gotta keep them crawlers happy. I especially like the name of the one Yahoo uses.

Okay, "I Turned Off the Radio But the Martians Wouldn't Shut Up" it shall be, the longest short story title ever! (that I've used)

Trivia: the title is something I remember being spoken by someone in a dream I had many years ago. I don't remember the context now, but I do have something in mind for the story.

Wait, you already chose without me?

a) My story will be done before DNF.
b) Kotaku is to news what Carrot Top is to comedy.
c) There is no Santa Claus.
