    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.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 74
    Collateral Damage 35
    Hostage Situation 541
    I, Panacea 491
    One More Trigger 413
    Reality Intrudes 349
    Recoil 455
    Slippery Slope 558
    War Games 0 (563)
    Wyvern 323

    War Games is up as predicted. While Slippery Slope currently has the lead for next pick, Hostage Situation is likely to overhaul it. Coming up fast also is I, Panacea, with Recoil powering up the straight behind it.

    Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

    As Collateral Damage is based on short sharp chapters (like Reality Intrudes) you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time that 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.

    Unfortunately, MirrorVerse is one of the inactive stories so you can't vote for it. Which is a bit unfair, because if it were restored today it would win the next round by a huge margin.

    It's really a shame. Thanks, mixed up my votes.
