    edale Thank you for the idea; not sure how much Ack would appreciate it, but you might want to post it in one of the Worm ideas threads (Split between NSFW and SFW, the former being far more popular) in addition to, or instead of, in this thread.

    You're already voting for Slippery Slope in the 4 slot in a trade with me. Unless you want to move it up to the 5 slot (invalidating one of your other trades) or the 6 slot (displacing your own favorite story) you can't make a deal with them.

    I agree so much that I liked that post even though the story you put at 6 is my least favorite Ack story (among the non-one-shot SFW Worm ones, anyway).

    Awww.... What's wrong with Slippery Slope? It's the only believable E88!Taylor I've come across.

    Because seriously, when an author manages to get you cheering for the Nazis... You know you've hit on something special (granted... that may not be a good thing, lol).

    I hope you don't hold it against me that I'm not reading those quotes. I didn't get very far into the story before I couldn't continue, and I don't much care for reading bits and pieces of a story out of order.

    I don't disagree with that part, though...

    I guess... how do I say it? Most of Ack's stories just had something in them that interested me a lot. This one, if it did, didn't have as much of it. Maybe that's because it was so short, maybe I don't like protagonists going to the dark side, I don't know.

    And I wasn't really cheering for the Nazis, I was cheering because Taylor was actually happy for once, while trying to reminds myself that the E88 probably weren't actually good guys, and wondering whether she ever ends up beating up minorities. (Not yet in that story, I believe, though I haven't followed it in a while.)
    I was certainly cheering a lot more when Taylor was happy for non-Nazi-related reasons (such as, I dunno, in the three stories MadGreenSon mentioned, or in the story he put at 5; Wyvern was too much of a sitcom for happy Taylor to make sense, and I don't actually recall what All Alone is).

    That's the one that starts with Emma dying in the alley (her attempt at fighting back causes the ABB thug holding her at knifepoint to slip & accidentally cut her throat.)

    After Emma's throat is cut, Sophia proceeds to slaughter the ABB thugs in the alley before heading off, but is really thrown for a loop by the whole sequence of events. Taylor's devastated by losing her BFF like that, and pissed off at things. Sophia, trying to find out more about Emma, comes across Taylor while spying on Emma's funeral, and after some investigation and more spying, where she's impressed by Taylor's anger when she visits that alley & Danny going off on some random thugs, decides to approach Taylor about Emma. After a rocky start (Taylor doesn't appreciate some stranger coming up to her & asking about her murdered BFF, and things get physical,) Sophia offers to take Taylor out fighting gangbangers & the last update ended with Taylor agreeing.

    Note to all: I figure I've wasted enough time so I'm fighting off the plot bunnies to finish I, Panacea.

    Unfortunately, they're fighting back.

    Oh no! Whatever shall we do? Pester the person writing fiction we want to read for free? /s

    In all seriousness, as someone constantly putting I, Panacea at 6 vote points I don't mind as long as you are happy in your writing of anything. I liked Price of Blood not nearly as much as I, Panacea but other people did and I still liked it. It's almost like you are a real person with other commitments.

    First quote was the end of chapter 1, next 2 quotes were from the start of chapter 2.

    Unless you stopped reading without making it 1/2 way through chapter 2, you've already read those scenes.

    I had no way of knowing that without reading the quotes, though. Kind of a Catch-22.

    Fair point. Renamed the quotes to the chapter numbers.

    It was just the scenes where
    Taylor got saved from the Locker, Taylor and co. storming into Blackwells office demanding justice, and Blackwell telling Piggot she's crazy for telling her to confiscate the E88 member's phone who had the video of Taylor getting shoved into the Locker.

    Well, you know, Ack... there is really only one way to handle such a problem.

    You must post them. You must post them all.

    I feel that Ack should try to write a another fic set in a place that he knows and challenges him

    Australia.

    The closest that I ever got into Australian fiction was Tomorrow, when the war began, Wentworth and a modern adaption of Macbeth set in the local mafia.

    It would be kinda funny to see Ack write a short crammed with as many Australianisms as he can fit, just to confuse the hell outta the rest of us as we try and decipher it, lol. (only 3.5 months until April Fools day Ack!)

    Can't see how it could possibly beat Irregular Podcast #7.

    (And I'm pretty sure there already was a Worm one-shot about everyone speaking with Australian accents. Can't recall if it was by Ack or someone else, however.)
