[X] Danny & Taylor - 6
[X] NSW - 5

Another round of voting has concluded, and so, here's how the stories are performing. Bit unusually, there's a tie at the top of this round's results, with both Recoil and last round's winner Trump Card garnering 183 votes apiece. I, Panacea follows in third, having gotten 171 votes this time around. Down at the other end of the scale, things start off with Meet the Heberts, whose 55 votes this round may be a sign of increasing interest as it nears the top of the overall standings, but still not enough to pull it out of the bottom three, followed by Danny & Taylor at 44, and finally, this round's winner All Alone, whose mere 29 votes was still enough to put it over the top, as the overall totals of all the others were still a few hundred behind. As usual, NSW turned in the best performance among the NSFW works, getting 68 votes in this round. Vote totals for the round may be found under the spoiler.

Here's the latest chapter of Celestial Worm (which will be commissioned for November anyway, so you'll be getting another chapter in the not too distant future).

To answer questions:
Gaemnomut said:
Since the next chapter of Trump card will be the last, are you going to add any new stories to the vote selection or are you still trying to reduce the number?

Still trying to bring it down.

PathtoReading said:
Also, Ack - cliffhangers are evil. Especially something like that.
I was half inclined to only vote for Trump Card, just to ensure that it came around faster .

Any chance of opening Trump Card up for commissions so we don't have to wait so long?

I'm actually considering just writing that last chapter on my own time to get it out of the way.

We shall see.

Vote trade with Donkey Hote:

Not actually a fic but I'd vote for it if I could:

Okay, then.

The latest chapter of All Alone is up.

Note that the story All Alone is now withdrawn from voting. Any votes cast toward that story will bounce. It is now up for commissioning instead.

I will decide whether or not to put another story into voting at a later point.

In any case...

Voting is CLOSED.

    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.

    All Alone has been pulled from the voting round by request, for future commissioning.

    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.)
    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).
    Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
    How Taylor Hebert Agreed to be a Slut [0] (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.)
    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. COMPLETE)
    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.)
    Reality Intrudes [0] (A Worm/Matrix crossover fic).
    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.

    All Alone has been pulled from voting and is now available for commissions.

    Well, Alea Iacta Est managed to sneak in front of Recoil by 11 points. Next up will be Recoil, Confrontation II then probably War Games and Meet the Heberts.

    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.
