    Indeed, strategic voting or not voting is quite valid to get the stories you want to update more often.

    For Example, if you really want Slippery Slope (which is currently getting the second least votes on average) and Recoil and Wyvern (the top 2), you would be well served to only vote for Slippery slope with your 6. If you vote 6 slippery slope, 5 recoil, 4 Wyvern you ensure lots of Recoil and Wyvern with not a lot of slippery slope.

    Of course, if everyone's voting habits change the votes you need to make to get what you want will need to change as well.

    Of note, if everyone voted for the same 6 stories with the same rate, there would be a repeating pattern of 17 wins. 4 updates for each story getting 4, 5, and 6; 2 updates for 2 and 3, and one update for the 1 vote.

    *Recoil is my personal favorite, so it kinda hurts to vote it lower, but with Sleepyfoo's explanation of how voting works, I kind of want to see some of the less released stories pop up more often. Yes, even with the crazy ending of that latest chapter of Recoil. Which was so good!

    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.)

    Dinah Alcott, Ruler of the World - Exactly what it says on the tin.

    Reality Intrudes 344
    Recoil 280
    Slippery Slope 52
    War Games 559
    Wyvern 390

    As predicted, I, Pancea is up next, followed in all likelihood by War Games. Danny & Taylor is currently in the lead following that, but chances are that Wyvern and maybe Hostage Situation will pip it at the post.


    Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.


    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

    Vote 193: Wyvern by 53 Votes
    Vote 194: Reality Intrudes by 114 Votes


    Order once again remains unchanged. Hostage Situation has pulled it's lead back for 188. Recoil is barely holding on to 192. If things remain unchanged, Danny and Taylor will be 195, but I don't have confidence in predictions that far out.
