Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

Reader mode
The problem I see with having more stories up for voting is that it's hard for me to keep track of what's happening in a large number of stories, each of which updates around once every 6 months. If it were up to me (and it isn't, and shouldn't be), I'd have fewer stories up for voting, so that we could make progress in some of them faster than I can forget the plot.

This is why I'll be putting two chapters out per month.
There are 10 stories up right now. I'll be adding another 9 back in.

Technically speaking, the average interval between any two chapters of a given story is going to go down slightly.
 
I don't have strong opinions about the change -- I'll recalculate my votes more often since I like several of the stories you'll be adding, but I don't expect it to be much of a hardship.

If you can keep up the two per month plan, I rather think the end result will be more chapters I want to read... so I guess I'm actually in favor instead of neutral. I'm also mildly interested to see how it changes the vote totals, empirically.

I have my favorite stories set aside in a notes file. If you look at my votes, they haven't changed in months, maybe years. Yes, it wastes votes when my favorite is on top, but it's a small price.

If Mirror verse is on the new voting list, I will be very happy!
Other than slippery slope it's my favorite.

Have a new chapter of Collateral Damage.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Voting is still open. I will be posting the second chapter of this round of Collateral Damage tomorrow around this time, and then I will be closing voting, counting votes, selecting this month's winner, and adding nine more stories to the voting round.

24 hours. Set your clocks.

Woo!
