    You just finished a massive and amazingly good fanfic; it's right to keep us informed here, but judging by the responses now and in the past I think I speak for almost everyone here when I say I'm loving this :D

    You can't. Rush. Art.

    Welp, Security! is finished, done and COMPLETE.

    Woo.

    Two years, four days. In between writing a crapload of other stuff.

    Damn, that's satisfying to finish.

    I shall now return to writing Wyvern.

    Also, regarding the points that were already spent toward Security! ...

    I decided in the end to apply them proportionately to all the other stories. This doesn't change any of the vote results.

    Now COME ON here..I know that it appears that Ack is scaling back his writing, but he's merely hoarding his gems of inspiration until the muse strikes, then he just spreads his wings and then RAAARG!! The threads are on fire!

    Might as well vote for the first time...

    [] It Gets Worse - 7
    [X] One More Trigger - 6
    [X] Trump Card - 5
    [X] War Games - 4
    [X] Wyvern - 3
    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 2
    [X] Really Bad End - 1

    I'm saving my big Really Bad End vote for when I actually catch up with the story (the AO3 version hadn't been updated in ages, so apparently there are several new chapters on QQ that I had no idea about). Just putting this token one in to avoid being complicit in de-listing the story.
    It is also almost certain that Confrontation II will win this round, so I'm not voting for it to avoid wasting the points. (I would have voted for it otherwise, heavily.)

    (EDIT: fixed the name of Alea Iacta Est. Apparently, Alea Jacta Esr with a J is the phrase, Alea Iacta Est with an I is the story.)

    Which reminds me. Here's something you can vote on while I'm working on Wyvern.

    What story would you like to see replacing Security! in the voting list?

    • Are You Afraid of the Dark?
    • Another Way
    • It Gets Worse
    • One Bad Day (in pre-production)
    • Yet Another Way
    • Don't replace it with anything
    As per the current voting situation, each person gets three votes, valued from 1 to 3. Once I finish Wyvern, I'll collate the votes and carry out the final result.

    ... it's actually an homage to John Wick. Or at least, the opening chapter is.

    EDIT: and if you intend that to be a vote, you might want to format it correctly.

    In case anyone's wondering, One Bad Day is about one or more Worm characters having a really bad day and making some extremely rash life-changing choices. It'll be dark, but not as dark as Really Bad End.

    Taken care of. Thanks!

    EDIT: I haven't seen it applied to Danny before; plus, this could lead to the Danny/Taylor superteam fic I've been waiting for!

    Yeah I just read your blurb...I don't think anything could be as dark as Really Bad End. Seriously.

    The basic premise of One Bad Day is up here. I may make tweaks to it as I write.
