I'm actually going to tip Wyvern, then Trump Card, then I, Panacea, then maybe War Games.
Wyvern comes in with fine style, but Trump Card is indeed close behind. Also in the 500 range are Alea Iacta Est (second time round since its first official post), I, Panacea, Really Bad End, NSW, and War Games. It's anyone's guess as to which one gets in after Trump Card.

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. 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] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1

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.

Well, that's Wyvern, with two chapters for the price of one :p. Trump Card came up as expected. After that ... well, let's have a look at what Jim Starluck had to say:

Jim Starluck said:
Currently Trump Card is in the lead, and looking to gain around 119 votes this round to win the next one in the mid-700s
.
741 points. Good call.

Jim Starluck said:
But coming up fast is Alea Iacta Est, making 126 votes a round and a shoe-in to win Vote 63. Then we've got I, Panacea chugging along at 84 votes a round to win Vote 64, and newcomer War Games making a respectable 37 votes a round to finally score its first win in Vote 65.

After that, though, up-and-coming crowd favorite Wyvern is climbing back to the top after its first win at a blistering 169 votes a round -- not as fast as its peak of 193, but still faster than anything else has ever managed before. Odds are good it'll break the 800-vote threshold to win Vote 66. Then we have our old friend Recoil cruising along at 108 votes a round, following Wyvern up above the 800 line to win Vote 67.

Things get risque after that, as the long-running smutfic NSW (and if you don't know what that stands for, kids, ask your parents) finally climbs back on top of the pile in Vote 68. From there it looks to be Security! in Vote 69, and then Trump Card stands a good chance of breaking the 900-vote line in Vote 70, while Alea Iacta Est may well be the first to hit 1,000 in Vote 71.

As always, these projections are subject to change as more votes come in and people shift their voting patterns. The further out you look the less accurate it's likely to be.

Well, we shall see what we shall see.

AIE blazed in to take the very first 800 point vote by storm; there's nothing else in the 700 point range, but NSW and War Games are in the high 600 range, so it'll be a toss-up between them for the next spot. Following that, Recoil might just make an appearance, if Wyvern doesn't do it first.

I predict some photo finishes.

A photo finish was had indeed. NSW and War Games tying on 746; I'm giving this one to War Games because it hasn't come up yet. NSW will probably be next.

After that, I predict some more close calls; first between Recoil and Wyvern, and then between All Alone and Security!. All fun and games, folks.

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. 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] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1

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.

ioigtam - Another Way is not in the voting list yet. Votes for it go to the chapter that got the lowest voting total in the round, which happens to be Bait & Switch. It thanks you :p

Please correct this in future.

Thank you.

Given that the QQbot problem with counting votes (ie, it can't) is still ongoing, I am going to have to ask everyone to not quote other peoples' votes (or their own) for the time being. I'm having to copy the votes manually and sort them out, and quoted votes show up unless I'm very careful. So please, don't do it for the time being? Thanks.

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

All Alone came in a winner this time around, not very much to anyone's surprise. Trump Card looks to be the favourite for the next round. An interesting note; of all the stories, it never got one '6' vote, and still came in with 101 points this round.

After that, we have Alea Iacta Est as a possible.

Another 101-point round for it, and yes, it's the winner this time around.

It's certainly the closest; unless everyone jumps on the Meet the Heberts bandwagon, it'll get in next round. After that, I'm thinking I, Panacea and then Meet the Heberts.

Wyvern will be next up, though.

It certainly was, even though it's falling back through the listings. Three stories beat it in vote points, but it still managed to crack 1200 for the first time.

Just eyeballing it, next up is likely to be One More Trigger, then we have what looks like Slippery Slope after that, then probably Hostage Situation. Really Bad End will want a go on, but one of the other front runners might push it back a bit before it gets to the front.

clupean - You need to number your votes. I have put numbers to them, starting with 6 at the top, but if this is repeated, I will ignore your vote altogether. Okay?
Also, Another Way is not n the voting round. So I have taken the 3 vote points and applied them to the story with the lowest count of vote points for the round, which happened to be Bait and Switch. It thanks you :p

So yeah, Hostage Situation made it in, 32 points ahead of Alea Iacta Est and 40 ahead of Trump Card. I can see both of those pushing through, in that order, with War Games behind them, before Really Bad End gets a go.


Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

Note also that the vote counting script given to me by Throne3d was of huge assistance.

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.

Okay, that was a close one. Alea Iacta Est slid into home just one point ahead of Trump Card, with War Games trailing by 27 points, and Really Bad End the only other story in four digits at 1005. However, I suspect that before RBE gets a look in, we'll see I, Panacea and Security! in no particular order. Recoil and Wyvern might even push their way in line first as well, the rude buggers :p

Trump Card gets its turn this round; you get to see the climactic fight between Hax, mistress of powers, and Lung, master of escalation. And next round, it's almost certain to be the next installment of War Games, featuring Geneva Hastings and her Polity crew, fresh to Brockton Bay and Earth Bet, five hundred years and a few universes out of sync. Following that, I see Security! as having a good chance, perhaps followed by I, Pancea and MirrorVerse and maybe NSW before Really Bad End gets a go on.

Anyway, time will tell. Thanks for reading.

Vote format looks like this:

[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1

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.

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

So, after three weeks of grinding away at this, I've finally admitted sort of defeat and posted up a relatively short chapter for NSW. Really Bad End is next in line, although Alea Iacta Est made a determined effort to pip it at the post.

Sorry for the time it took and the relative lack of content. Blame my new job, blame Ingress. One or the other, or both. Whee.


Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

Note also that the vote counting script given to me by Throne3d was of huge assistance.

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.

Vote format looks like this:

[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
