    That's valid (to me, anyway). The vote counter will have a fit at all the 'mistakes', but that's fine. It means I can tally them up with relative ease.

    EVERYONE: You do realise that unless you change the vote you're currently putting toward Trump Card, you'll lose that vote for this round?

    Heavily seconding that. But I don't recall much of Gravitas either, and IIRC it was going in a fairly sad direction?

    [Х] I'm HALPING! - 6
    [Х] Entanglement - 5
    [Х] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 4
    [Х] Reality Intrudes - 3
    [Х] Taylor Hebert, Medhall Intern - 2
    [Х] Nemesis - 1

    I'll have to figure out what to do with my regular vote later, if I ever decide to restart it... I seriously considered doing that, but without Trump Card in the running I probably no longer have six stories I'd want to vote for. [Actually, I checked, and it turns out I do - yay!]
    (Also, I darn well hope that it's not going to get a downer ending, but I'm probably going to be really sad when it ends one way or another.)

    Incidentally, how long until the temporarily suspended stories (in particular, Nemesis and Junior Hero) get another chance back into the pool? Or is that never going to happen?

    [EDIT: fixed up my vote a bit.]
    [EDIT 2: actually, now that I've checked, five of the stories I voted for last time are still in the running, and I could easily replace the one that isn't with Wyvern, which I have since gotten much fonder of. So I actually could be voting next round - at least if I remember.]
    [EDIT 3: fixed some typoes in story names.]
    [EDIT 4: re-jigged the numbers again. Does it matter which number goes on the Trump Card replacement?]
    [EDIT 5: apparently no number is supposed to go on the Trump Card replacement, so fixed up the vote yet again.]

    And if Reality Intrudes doesn't win the mini-vote for which story gets added to the voting list?

    (Also, I presume you want it to win, in which case you should probably cast your mini-vote for it.)

    I meant, you should cast your vote for Reality Intrudes to be the new story on the voting list. This is separate from your vote for what story should update next, and you haven't done so yet.

    I've updated my main vote.

    Heavily based on my previous vote from way back in May 2017...

    [] I'm HALPING! - 16
    [] The Great Tattletale Caper - 15
    [] Entanglement - 14
    [] Taylor Hebert, Medhall Intern - 13
    [] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 12
    [] One Bad Day - 11
    [] Nemesis - 10
    [] RoTH - 9
    [] <NSFW-ish title snipped pending abbreviation> - 8
    [] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero sequel - 7
    [X] One More Trigger - 6
    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 5
    [X] Wyvern - 4
    [X] Hostage Situation - 3
    [X] Danny & Taylor - 2
    [X] I, Panacea - 1
    [] Confrontation II - 0
    [] War Games - 0
    [] Celestial Worm - 0

    Mini-vote:
    [X] Reality Intrudes

    Still not interested in Recoil, though I'm considering re-reading it some day.

    Gravitas?

    That's the one where the main character from my (upcoming) novel helps Taylor out with Lung and forms a potential team with her, leaving the Undersiders to go "okay, what now"?

    Only one of these votes is actually valid. I'm guessing Reality Intrudes is your mini-vote for that story, but the votes for Nemesis, Medhall Intern, Entanglement and I'm HALPING will be wasted.

    They're both pretty close to completion, so I might even finish them out of sequence if I get the chance.

    Editing is fine.

    You realise you've just wasted your 6-point vote, right? And you've got two votes marked at 4.

    The mini-vote doesn't require a number. You can put that number toward anything else. All the mini-vote is for, is to say "yes, I want this story in the voting round".

    In fact none of the votes are valid (you missed Afraid of the Dark), and I know that; it was a bit of a protest vote in the "what I'd want as Trump Card's replacement" category.
    Technically I didn't even use an actual X between the brackets; if you want I can put an Y or Z there instead.

    My actual vote is three comments above your response. Note the X-less brackets with high numbers for many of the same stories as in the other "voting" post.

    Huh. I stand corrected.

    Just incidentally, I do not know what will happen if a legitimate vote is "superseded" by a properly-formatted invalid vote.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 975

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    It has come to my attention that I have been slacking off. I'm going to try to speed up my posting of vote stories.

    Also: Trump Card is finished. Just saying.

    Replacing it will be Reality Intrudes. Enjoy.

    (EDIT: 15 votes for Reality Intrudes, 8 for Prodigal Daughter and 3 for Gravitas.)


    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
    All Alone 25

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    All Alone [0] (Emma dies in the alley, so Taylor makes a new friend. Sophia Hess. But after some very bad decisions. she's all alone again. Or is she?)

    Celestial Worm [0] (Crossover with Ties That Bind, a novel written by my beta reader.)
    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).
    How Taylor Hebert Agreed to be a Slut [0] {NSFW} (This drops Taylor into the Slut Life CYOA.)

    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.)
    Prodigal Daughter [0] {Taylor isn't quite right. But that's okay. She's Jack Slash's daughter. Brockton Bay is in for ... a time.)
