    This portion of your post always confuses me. You've got three stories with one round to win, two with four, one with six, three with seven... is it that the three marked as only needing one will in fact be spread out over the first three rounds, the two with four will update on the fourth and fifth, the three with seven will update on the seventh, eighth, and ninth, and so on?

    Those values are all automatically calculated. The spreadsheet looks at how many votes it's taken to win over the current span of predictions, compares that to how many votes a story has in the last predicted round and how rapidly it earns them, and uses that to estimate how many rounds it will take a story to hit that average vote-winning level. It's not very precise, especially since it's already based on ten rounds of predictions out from the latest vote.

    So - effectively - yes, then.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Would you be willing to set up a trade? I will put Wyvern as my - 2 vote every round from here on out, and in exchange you put MirrorVerse as your - 2. I would even be willing to start this round since I actually enjoy Wyvern somewhat.

    Awesome job with all your stuff Ack. I've binge read a few of your fanfics this month, and just might have solely made an account to upvote Slippery Slope in order to resolve that cliffhanger...

    Sorry, but the one time I tried to read Mirrorverse, I couldn't stand it. Not sure what it was, but the whole story was a major turn-off for me.

    Give a chance to read its latest chapter, skipping all the previous ones. I was also utterly uninterested in the story until the situation present in the latest chapter was introduced (becoming cleat it would be the case in the chater before that). I actually think that would have been a good place for Ack to have started the entire story.
