Okay, so this is Slippery Slope.

Gonna put this out there; my work is going to be a little hectic, so the next chance I'll get to post something is Wednesday, and after that Saturday. Frankly, I'm not too hopeful about Wednesday, but if I do post anything it'll be Another Way. After that will be I, Panacea.

In the meantime, I've made a serious start (three pages at least!) on a novel. I won't be posting any of it online quite yet, as I want to get it bashed into shape first.

I will, however, post up something that's actually applicable to the novel itself.

Little bit of an error with that copy-paste. Need another square bracket on the first vote.

Oooh, ooh! I do! Me! Pick me! :p


From my last forecast, I, Panacea managed to pull out ahead of Alea Iacta Est and cinch the win for Round 127. Forecast for the next several rounds is now:

Okay, here's Another Way.

Next chapter I post will be I, Panacea. This is currently expected to be Thursday night (Australian Eastern Standard Time).

After that, I'll probably be hitting up Slippery Slope again. My next commissioned chapter will be Price of Blood, for August. (I may be opening the option for commissioning a second chapter in my Patreon channel soon).

Better than one-per-week updates, nice. Unfortunately, Thursday night Australia is still to late at night for me to read it Wednesday in my time zone.

    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1375

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    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.

    Really Bad End 185
    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    Slippery Slope 221

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    Another Way [0] (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.)
    Conflict [0] (It's 1980. Contessa managed to shank Eden without getting nerfed. Doctor Mother now has Eidolon's powerset, without the insecurity complex. They've got two years to prepare before Scion shows up.)
    Entanglement [0] (Taylor has her bug powers. However, she is now randomly body-swapping with a Taylor from an Earth without super-powers. Both are rather confused.)
    Fuck Worm! [0] {NSFW} (A double SI, where a couple gets dropped into the Wormverse on opposite sides. Only just started.)
    Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
    I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
    It Gets Worse [0] (Taylor has a pre-emptive power designed to rain down havoc on anyone trying to harm her or anyone she cares for. Coincidences get somewhat ridiculous at times.)
    One Bad Day [0] (Sophia murders Grue. Taylor murders Sophia and Madison. Lisa murders her new team leader. Amy mindwipes Vicky. It's one hell of a bad day.)
    Price of Blood [0] (Taylor's power is responsible for hundreds of deaths. Shadow Stalker is now working for Coil. Things are actually looking up.)
    The Rape of Taylor Hebert [0] {NSFW} (Starts dark. Features actual rape. You have been warned. Not at all safe for work, minors or anyone else of a sensitive disposition.)
    Yet Another Way [0] (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:

    Pretty sure it'll be either Danny & Taylor or Trump Card. Just saying.

    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) If you vote for a story that is not on the voting list, those point(s) will go to the story that got the least number of vote points that round.
    6) [current situation] I will be pruning the list.
    6a) Each voting round, I will be dropping the story that has garnered the fewest vote points for that round.
    6b) That story will be removed from the voting list but not abandoned; it will keep its current total of vote points.
    6c) Voting for stories that are not on the voting list will not increase their vote point totals. Those votes will instead be lost.
    6d) If a story reaches the top of the list with the least amount of vote points for that round, I will update it then remove it from the list.
    6e) When I have a) pruned the list to an acceptable size, and b) finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.

    As of this moment, it looks like Trump Card is going to pull ahead by about 18 votes.

    Vote 129: Trump Card by 18 votes
    Vote 130: Danny & Taylor by 210+ votes
    Vote 131: Recoil by 70+ votes
    Vote 132: Wyvern by 370+ votes
    Vote 133: NSW by only 3 votes

    ...and then my spreadsheet gets confused and thinks that Bait & Switch will win Vote 134, despite it not being eligible or earning any votes in months.
