    Would prefer 'Afraid of the Dark' honestly, a John Wick styled Danny teaching Taylor the trade is great.

    Edit - Deleted my 1 vote for Confrontation II. Will wait and see what to replace it with.

    My vote for which one to add to the voting:
    [X] Slippery Slope

    Up for voting and I'd like to see it, just not quite enough to get a vote this time...
    [] Alea Iacta Est
    [] Wyvern

    Not up for voting but I'd still like to see it: (hopefully more stories will be added to the voting soon!)
    [] Entanglement
    [] MirrorVerse
    [] I'm HALPING!
    [] One Bad Day
    (of these, only MirrorVerse was even in the list of ones to potentially add to the vote this time.)

    Predictions:
    Vote 172: Alea Iacta Est by 50 Votes
    Vote 173: Wyvern by 60 Votes
    Vote 174: War Games by 64 Votes
    Vote 175: Reality Intrudes by 82 Votes
    Vote 176: I, Panacea by 56 Votes
    Vote 177: Recoil by 197 Votes
    Vote 178: Hostage Situation by 82 Votes
    Vote 179: One More Trigger by 45 Votes
    Vote 180: Wyvern by 67 Votes
    Vote 181: Alea Iacta Est by 282 Votes

    This one brings a False sense of stability with it from last time, as nothing major has changed. However, given the Story leaving the list and the new one being added, vote patterns and totals are likely to change. The next 3 or 4 are probably pretty set, but after that? I have less confidence than usual.

    It's been (nearly) a year and a half since my last vote, so I'll have to remove some of the options here; in fact I barely got enough for a full 6-option vote. (I'm a bit sad for much of the NSFW stuff; the parts I've seen were quite nice.)

    [] I'm HALPING! - 18
    [] The Great Tattletale Caper - 17
    [] Entanglement - 16
    [] Taylor Hebert, Medhall Intern - 15
    [] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 14
    [] One Bad Day - 13
    [] First Telkan - 12
    [] Conflict - 11
    [] Gravitas - 10
    [] Earning Her Stripes - 9
    [] Nemesis - 8
    [] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero sequel - 7
    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
    [X] Wyvern - 5
    [X] Hostage Situation - 4
    [X] One More Trigger - 3
    [X] I, Panacea - 2
    [X] Finding the Way - 1
    [] War Games - 0

    The list above 6 can be considered my line of succession to the "next story" preference; my vote is for whatever story is the highest on that list among the eligible ones that could realistically qualify. (I think this would be First Telkan, 7th place in the line, if no more options are added to the current listing.)
    Note the absolute lack of Slippery Slope, a story that I'd rather prefer to never have to think about. Unfortunately it also seems to be by far the most likely winner.

    For new story:
    [X] Slippery Slope

    I understand why you abandoned Slippery Slope 2+ years ago, but it was right at a cliffhanger. If we could at least get to a reasonable stopping place (not necessarily all the way to Kaiser's sudden but inevitable betrayal)...
    I would also point out to anyone who mistakes the story as a sign of Ack's hidden affinity for neo-Nazis that they appear as villains (and usually contemptible pushovers) in most of Ack's other fics. Of all the reasonably prominent named characters in the early portions of Worm (since Ack's stories usually end or significantly diverge before the later portions of Worm), most have been protagonist-aligned in at least one story. The only exceptions I can think of are
    Principal Blackwell / Mr. Gladly (who are difficult to redeem without entirely changing their characters)
    The Merchants (disgusting foul-mouthed low-lives who peddle hard drugs to children)
    Oni Lee (stripped of his personality by side-effects of his power)

    I mean, even Crawler is at least somewhat protagonist-aligned in multiple stories (Prodigal Daughter and Recoil), so having Kaiser temporarily on board isn't too bad.

    Also, Slippery Slope was close to finishing which was why it was taken off the voting lineup in the first place. So if it is the winner it won't be hogging a spot for as long as some of the other candidates.

    Yeah, Afraid of the Dark is set aside for commissions.

    Slippery Slope is actually relatively near to its natural ending.

    Okay, new to voting in this method.

    [X] I, Panacea
    [X] Hostage Situation
    [X] Wyvern

    [X] One Bad Day

    Although, I had an idea for an Omake regarding I, Panacea. Not entirely sure how to make it work, though, so if you want to try the idea, even if only for comedy purposes, then I can give the thought behind it. I tried getting onto paper, but failed. Too many paths to follow, and none of it made sense to me.

    Riley and Gladys from Security! drop in during I, Panacea, while Security himself is in there. Undersiders are an Optional Bonus, though the idea behind THAT was Lisa meeting Lisa giving everyone else headaches just watching them.

    Visitors from Security! would preferably be from a few years after the Epilogue (Riley ranging from 16-22 every time it pops into my head). The idea itself would probably be best as an Omake, or an Interlude at a stretch, but if it goes into the actual storyline, I'm actually curious as to how it would go. Riley vs Bonesaw, Lisa vs Lisa, and Amy(I, Panacea) meeting Amelia(Security!) might actually blow some people's minds.

    If you do try the idea, I primarily read on FFN, though Worm Fanfiction has been getting me onto SB and SV. Not to mention here, but this is my first post on all three.

    Welcome to the party. You need to put your vote rank/count for the stories on the list after the story name or it won't be counted.

    In your case it would be something like:
    I, Panacea - 6
    Hostage Situation - 5
    Wyvern - 4

    with the X in brackets in front of course. The number is how many votes the story will get from you. You can vote for up to 6 stories, with counts 6,5,4,3,2, and 1.

    If you have any questions please let me know.
