Spoiler: Still in Development

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.

Force Projection - A sequel to my original fiction Number Two.
Hostile Takeover - Marquis had a son. He's just come back to Brockton Bay.

User Errors: @Makihuda - the story I, Panacea is finished. I took that vote out and shuffled your following votes up one each.

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 0 (450)
Collateral Damage 167
Hostage Situation 411
One More Trigger 39
Reality Intrudes 304
Recoil 317
Slippery Slope 328
War Games 64
World War Scion 207
Wyvern 350

Alea Iacta Est has definitely come in ahead of Hostage Situation, which is probably going to come up next month. Following them, Slippery Slope has been overtaken by Wyvern, and Recoil and Reality Intrudes are also coming up fast. Meanwhile, newcomer World War Scion (which recently had its first chapter posted) is also gaining traction, woo!


Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage and Reality Intrudes are based on short, sharp chapters you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time either one 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.

Predictions:
Vote 228: Hostage Situation by 30 Votes
Vote 229: Wyvern by 3 Votes
Vote 230: Recoil by 107 Votes
Vote 231: Reality Intrudes by 1 Votes
Vote 232: Slippery Slope by 256 Votes

Vote 234: One More Trigger by 6 Votes
Vote 235: Recoil by 3 Votes
Vote 236: Wyvern by 143 Votes
Vote 237: Collateral Damage by 16 Votes

Lots of shake ups on this vote. Wyvern has squeaked past Recoil for 229, One More Trigger has also slipped past Recoil for 234, and Slippery Slope is just one vote away from passing Reality Intrudes for 231.

I suspect next vote will come with even more shuffling.

Could you please do me a favour and arrange your votes in numerical order? I have to enter them manually, and putting them out of order like this makes it just a little harder for me.

Now, see, this is a good reason why to arrange them in numerical order. You've got two '1' votes and no '5'.

Just like I asked with VO1D, could you please do that? Thanks.
