NOTE: Outside of All Alone and Confrontation II which will always be #1 and #2, I will be tailoring my vote to upvote the stories that have the least amount to go before being posted.

 

I think it means that the spreadsheet thinks no story is going to have more than 1164 points (so that Bait & Switch would have won if it was still in the running, even without getting a single point more).
[EDIT: just checked, and yes, that's exactly what happens - the predicted highest count is 1020. Might actually happen the round before if NSW gets unlucky.]

If this does actually happen, I'm going to petition Ack to count Bait & Switch as winning that round anyway

Ah-ha. Thank you. That explains things. Now to go and bug the Monoploy Man to give Ack some lucre…

 

So we are not to tempt fate and give Ack a few months medical leave?

Just like always I'd like to ask if anyone voting for Alea Iacta Est, Wyvern and Trump Card would be willing to throw some votes to Danny & Taylor, NSW and Meet the Heberts?

 

No, already have, and no.

Okay, the way it is now. I've just done a (commissioned) chapter of I'm HALPING!, and from here I'll be doing a chapter of Slippery Slope then on to Alea Iacta Est. That's when voting will renew.

With any luck, the chapter of Slippery Slope will be posted Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It won't be before then.

Thank you for your patience.

Thus, your (semi) regular chapter of Slippery Slope is here.

Next, I will be doing Alea Iacta Est. This will probably post Saturday or Sunday.

After that ... we shall see. There will be a chapter of Price of Blood in the works for August, and possibly one of either I'm HALPING! or It Gets Worse, depending on the whim of commissions.

In the meantime, I will probably be working on the novel. All them words I gotta brain on to the page.

 

Which one was Price of Blood?

 

The one where Taylor's powers accidentally go out of control, which results in an awful lot of collateral damage. (It's a lot less Taylor's fault than this sounds like.)

Not sure how else to describe it that isn't too much of a spoiler.

 

This one.
