Ack Is this vote valid? Or did you mean something different by the mini-vote?

That's valid (to me, anyway). The vote counter will have a fit at all the 'mistakes', but that's fine. It means I can tally them up with relative ease.

Heavily seconding that. But I don't recall much of Gravitas either, and IIRC it was going in a fairly sad direction?

[Х] I'm HALPING! - 6
[Х] Entanglement - 5
[Х] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 4
[Х] Reality Intrudes - 3
[Х] Taylor Hebert, Medhall Intern - 2
[Х] Nemesis - 1

I'll have to figure out what to do with my regular vote later, if I ever decide to restart it... I seriously considered doing that, but without Trump Card in the running I probably no longer have six stories I'd want to vote for. [Actually, I checked, and it turns out I do - yay!]
(Also, I darn well hope that it's not going to get a downer ending, but I'm probably going to be really sad when it ends one way or another.)

Incidentally, how long until the temporarily suspended stories (in particular, Nemesis and Junior Hero) get another chance back into the pool? Or is that never going to happen?

[EDIT: fixed up my vote a bit.]
[EDIT 2: actually, now that I've checked, five of the stories I voted for last time are still in the running, and I could easily replace the one that isn't with Wyvern, which I have since gotten much fonder of. So I actually could be voting next round - at least if I remember.]
[EDIT 3: fixed some typoes in story names.]
[EDIT 4: re-jigged the numbers again. Does it matter which number goes on the Trump Card replacement?]
[EDIT 5: apparently no number is supposed to go on the Trump Card replacement, so fixed up the vote yet again.]

I think I've figured out what I'm supposed to do.

Heavily based on my previous vote from way back in May 2017...

[] I'm HALPING! - 16
[] The Great Tattletale Caper - 15
[] Entanglement - 14
[] Taylor Hebert, Medhall Intern - 13
[] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 12
[] One Bad Day - 11
[] Nemesis - 10
[] RoTH - 9
[] <NSFW-ish title snipped pending abbreviation> - 8
[] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero sequel - 7
[X] One More Trigger - 6
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 5
[X] Wyvern - 4
[X] Hostage Situation - 3
[X] Danny & Taylor - 2
[X] I, Panacea - 1
[] Confrontation II - 0
[] War Games - 0
[] Celestial Worm - 0

Mini-vote:
[X] Reality Intrudes

Still not interested in Recoil, though I'm considering re-reading it some day.
 
[X] I, Panacea - 6

Up for voting and I'd like to see it, just not quite enough to get a vote this time...
[] Alea Iacta Est
[] One More Trigger
[] All Alone

Not up for voting but I'd still like to see it:
[] Entanglement
[] Are You Afraid of the Dark?
[] Slippery Slope

Gravitas?

That's the one where the main character from my (upcoming) novel helps Taylor out with Lung and forms a potential team with her, leaving the Undersiders to go "okay, what now"?

Only one of these votes is actually valid. I'm guessing Reality Intrudes is your mini-vote for that story, but the votes for Nemesis, Medhall Intern, Entanglement and I'm HALPING will be wasted.

They're both pretty close to completion, so I might even finish them out of sequence if I get the chance.

You realise you've just wasted your 6-point vote, right? And you've got two votes marked at 4.

The mini-vote doesn't require a number. You can put that number toward anything else. All the mini-vote is for, is to say "yes, I want this story in the voting round".
 
I went ahead and chenged up my votes as well Ack sorry I've been kinda busy with work lately :oops::p

In fact none of the votes are valid (you missed Afraid of the Dark), and I know that; it was a bit of a protest vote in the "what I'd want as Trump Card's replacement" category.
Technically I didn't even use an actual X between the brackets; if you want I can put an Y or Z there instead.

My actual vote is three comments above your response. Note the X-less brackets with high numbers for many of the same stories as in the other "voting" post.

Huh. I stand corrected.

Just incidentally, I do not know what will happen if a legitimate vote is "superseded" by a properly-formatted invalid vote.
 
Vote 153: I, Panacea
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 975

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    It has come to my attention that I have been slacking off. I'm going to try to speed up my posting of vote stories.

    Also: Trump Card is finished. Just saying.

    Replacing it will be Reality Intrudes. Enjoy.

    (EDIT: 15 votes for Reality Intrudes, 8 for Prodigal Daughter and 3 for Gravitas.)


    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.

    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    All Alone 25

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    All Alone [0] (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 [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.)
    Celestial Worm [0] (Crossover with Ties That Bind, a novel written by my beta reader.)
    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.)
    Gravitas [0] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
    How Taylor Hebert Agreed to be a Slut [0] {NSFW} (This drops Taylor into the Slut Life CYOA.)
    I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
    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.)
    Prodigal Daughter [0] {Taylor isn't quite right. But that's okay. She's Jack Slash's daughter. Brockton Bay is in for ... a time.)
    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.)

    Dinah Alcott, Ruler of the World - Exactly what it says on the tin.

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

    Next up will be NSW. What lewds will there be? Is there going to be plot?

    Also, give a huge welcome to Reality Intrudes, the new story on the block!

    Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

    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] Recoil - 3
    [X] Hostage Situation - 2
    [X] NSW - 1

    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.
