    Just so you know, the vote for I, Panacea (lacking a comma, and including a round bracket) won't actually show up on the vote counter.

    Currently commission only, until I finish one of my current fics.

    Also in other news:

    My beta-reader, Lady Columbine of Mystal (aka Karen Buckeridge) is publishing her first novel soon. She's graciously given me permission to post up the first three chapters on this site and a few others; there's also a link via my sig.

    The series will be called Celestial Wars, but the first novel is Ties that Bind.

    Oh, I definitely will, someday.

    I just need to a) have the time, b) refine my writing skills a little more and c) rough out the ongoing plot some more.

    Glad to hear it. Rediscovered that one a couple hours ago while like-diving, and I quite liked it both times around.

    Due to a severe case of writer's block with I, Panacea, I'm putting it on hold until I finish this month's commissions.

    Sorry about that.

    Okay, here's the latest chapter for I, Panacea.

    Sorry about the delay. I had five pages up, my beta looked at it, and told me that it just wouldn't do. So I had to redo the whole thing again from scratch, after doing Slippery Slope & It Gets Worse.

    Anyway, here it is.

    Voting is CLOSED.

    Announcements
    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.

    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161

    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.)
    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).

    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.)
    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.

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

    Welp, I thought it was going to be All Alone, but Trump Card snuck in first. Ah well, we know what's up next then. And following that ... hmm. We don't have any in the thousand range, but quite a few front-runners in the 700-800 range. As the man said just before the fifteen-car pileup, "this should be interesting".

    Also, It Gets Worse is almost done! One more chapter! Woo! And Slippery Slope has started up in the commissions again.

    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:
