Wait a second



Despite not winning the vote, Enter the Nemesis got zeroed out between 244 and 245

And considering how unpopular it is, it really can't afford to lose those votes (which is one of the reasons why I pushed for it and the others to keep their existing banks)

Oh, that is my bad. I'll be restoring that now.

I can't help it, time travel fixit fics and friendly monsters are like catnip to me. Metaphorically, I mean... This might not have been the best turn of phrase to use.

Thanks, as always, for voting.

Also, I have a free novel on Smashwords, called The Uncle Tal Stories.

NEW NOVEL! Martian Walker and Other Stories
ebook

Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories that have been taken off the list will not be abandoned, just put on hiatus until I've actually finished a significant number of stories that are actually still on the list.

A Darker Path [Complete] (Taylor has triggered with a shard called Path to Ending. She can kill anyone or anything. Also, she has no more fucks to give. Have a nice day.)
Afraid of the Dark [Under Commission] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
All Alone [Under Commission] (Emma dies in the alley, so Taylor makes a new friend. Sophia Hess. But after some very bad decisions. she's all alone again. Or is she?)
Another Way [Under Commission] (Marquis beat shit out of BBB, then spent the next eight years in Boston. Now that his daughter has triggered, he's come back. She's having a ball.)
First Telkan [On Hiatus] (A crossover with the massively popular Reddit serial First Contact, by Ralts Bloodthorne.)
Gravitas [On Hiatus] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
Yet Another Way [Under Commission] (A spin-off of Another Way, where Carol killed Amy. The BBB is now out of the picture, and Marquis has managed to adopt the Dallon and Pelham kids.)

A Friend At Winslow - Non-Taylor-centric, but involving Taylor.
The Centre Cannot Hold - Taylor gets a really weird power, and makes full use of it. Crack.
Dinah Alcott, Ruler of the World - Exactly what it says on the tin.
EverYthiNg YoU kNow iS WroNg - The Birdcage is a luxury resort. Marquis was sandbagging. It's all a LIE, I tell you! Pure crack.
Force Projection - A sequel to my original fiction Number Two.
Hostile Takeover - Marquis had a son. He's just come back to Brockton Bay.
Identity Theft - An international freelancer needs to hide out in Brockton Bay. Guess who she looks like?
Isel - Prequel to my original fiction King's Man
Parallel - A time travel story, involving Taylor's son from after Gold Morning.
Living in Brockton Bay is Suffering - A perfect storm of bad events happens, leaving Tagg in charge of the PRT, based in Brockton Bay.
Library Blues (working title) - A massive AU where Taylor is an adult, working in the library of Winslow High. Brian is the principal, and Sophia is the head coach.
Terminal: A cancer sufferer triggers with powers. His life does not improve. News at eleven.

User Errors:
@Avernus - If you could, please use the format everyone else does, thanks. Counting down from 6 to 1. When I'm in the groove, running into a different format throws me off. (Also, the highest vote value is 6, for future reference.)
@IReadItfortheArticles - You didn't put a number value in, so I didn't register a vote for you, sorry.

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 317
Collateral Damage 92
Conflict 3
Earning Her Stripes 67
Entanglement 45
Enter the Nemesis 167
Hostage Situation 0 (393)
Journey Continues 7
Junior Hero 150
MirrorVerse 43
One More Trigger 34
Prodigal Daughter 35
Reality Intrudes 0 (479)
Recoil 108
Slippery Slope 380
Snek is a Good Boy 64
War Games 44
World War Scion 190
Wyvern 166


[Links to each of the stories in my sig, or here]

Reality Intrudes indeed came in a winner, and Hostage Situation came up as expected too, just ahead of Slippery Slope. Looks like that one might jump in next month if it manages to keep its lead, along with Alea Iacta Est. After that, we have nothing in the 200+ range yet, though that's going to change. If Recoil continues to massively outperform everything else on the board, it'll be up sooner rather than later, wheee.

Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage, Earning Her Stripes, Reality Intrudes and Snek is a Good Boy are based on short, sharp chapters you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time either one comes up, instead of one 7K+ chapter.


Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.


For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

1) UP TO six votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
2) First vote is worth six points, second is worth five, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story. The voting code will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.
6) When I have finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.

[X] World War Scion - 5
[X] War Games - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Hostage Situation - 2

Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.
