Great...MORE competition for Slippery Slope making it on the voting list...:(
His new stories don't normally make it to the point of voting for awhile. It'll probably get a few updates before he starts talking about adding it to the list.

Reactions: Ack
There's 2 fics (Confrontation and Brian&Aisha) that are 1 chapter from completion, and 1 fic 5-6 chapters from completion (Security!). Ack's doing a vote to see which of his new fics get on the voting list when one of his other fics finishes. So theoretically Slippery Slope could be on the voting list within a few updates.

I REALLY want All Alone on that list. It looks like it's going to be a glorious trainwreck.
 
This is why I've been voting B&A and Confrontation at the top, it means less work for Ack and more new things for us to read.

All Alone actually tied with War Games last vote, so Ack chose War Games as the one to add; since War Games was started a week or so before All Alone.
New Story
Now that Aftermath has been completed, another story will be taking its place. The votes were:
All Alone: 14
Nemesis: 4
Slippery Slope: 4
War Games: 14

Which led to a sort of dilemma. I have resolved it by picking the earlier of the two stories; War Games was posted on June 6, as opposed to June 14 for All Alone.
So odds are VERY good that All Alone will be the next story added... And that Slippery Slope will take a while (*cries*).

While talking about Glorious Train Wrecks though... Have you read Slippery Slope? You don't get more Train Wreck than THAT, and it's so incredibly well done!

...Slippery Slope....pushed a few of my buttons, especially since it s well done. I may come back to it at a later date but right now I have enough 'trainwreck' in my life. No offense to The Great Ack.

Actually, it turned out that War Games got one extra vote (which was badly formatted so it didn't show up).
 
Vote 48: Brian & Aisha (last chapter)
Thanks, as always, for voting.

Story Ending
Brian & Aisha is on its last chapter, and as such, has been removed from the voting. It's been a totally non-serious NSFW piece, utterly without reference to continuity or any real effort toward characterisation, and I've had fun writing it. However, it's also utterly devoid of plot, and so it's reached the end of its run.

New Story
As such, I will be offering new stories for voting into the running. Note that in the case of a tie, the story with the earlier original posting date will win.
See below for details.

Note that any BBcode at all around the vote will invalidate it. This includes quoting a previous vote, and applying font changes.

All Unaware 504
Bait & Switch 45
Confrontation 571
Danny & Taylor 554
I, Panacea 138
Junior Hero 303
MirrorVerse 392
NSW 565
One More Trigger 132
Really Bad End 332
Recoil 230
Security! 227
Trump Card 76
War Games 183

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


So I'm picking Brian & Aisha for its last chapter, then NSW, then Danny & Taylor. After that, All Unaware and Confrontation (also on its last chapter) are powering up the stakes.

Following that, or even interrupting the sequence in some way, we might get Recoil.

Looks like Confrontation might be next, actually. Wouldn't be surprised if it made 600 on the next vote.


Secondary Vote:

I have four stories up for voting on to the list. To this end, please cast a vote for one of the following stories (over and above the five standard votes). Whichever gets the most votes will be emplaced into the voting roster with the next vote count, and may then be voted upon normally.

[X] Alea Iacta Est
[X] All Alone
[X] Nemesis
[X] The Slippery Slope

Just a simple vote; no vote points need be thrown in (each vote for one of these stories will be counted as a single vote).

This is in addition to the standard vote.

Quick descriptions:
Alea Iacta Est: Taylor triggers with a variation on Dinah's power, and events begin to diverge from canon almost immediately.

All Alone: Emma is killed in the alley by the ABB, who are in turn slaughtered by Shadow Stalker. Taylor has to deal with the death of her best friend, just a year after she lost her mother.

Nemesis: A Worm story with all original characters; the main character wakes up with amnesia and unexpected (and unwanted) super-powers. He quickly clashes with the forces of law and order, including an arrogant local superhero.

The Slippery Slope: Taylor makes friends at Winslow. They belong to the Empire Eighty-Eight.

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 five 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 five points, second is worth four, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot 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.

Vote format looks like this:

[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1

[X] Secondary vote here (No vote points needed).

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.

Thank you.

Voting is OPEN.
