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

    Not actually a fic but I would also vote for this if I could:

    I pointed that out a while back, but Ack didn't seem to be interested. But yeah, now that stories could win with like 600-700 points, having stories with 1000+ points that cannot win feels particularly sad.

    (At one point there was a comment to the effect of "my prediction spreadsheet must be borked, because it says Bait & Switch would win in a few rounds even though it hadn't been on the voting list for a while". I noted that the spreadsheet's prediction actually made perfect sense - it was saying that B&S would end up with the most points that round even if it got no further votes.)


    EDIT: before anyone says "if you want these stories so much, just pay for them"... maybe if I actually start having enough money. A stable earning of at least $200 per month would be a good start; I'd prefer more like $300 or even $400, but getting that high might take a while.
    (Besides, IIRC, the bonus chapter backlog is booked something like a year in advance anyway, so even if I could have paid I couldn't have done much.)

    Also - this might surprise you - I'm not actually very interested in either of those two stories; neither of them sounds like the sort of plot that I could realistically have enjoyed. I'm just a bit sad about how they ended up with more points than they could use and no way to actually use them.

    I dropped some stories from the round because honestly, I'd taken too much on, and I was taking far too long to get back around to regular stories.

    I will look at some of the inactive ones, and see where I want to go with them.
