I will be trimming stories off the list, starting right now. Whichever story has the lowest number of vote points this round will be dropped off the list. Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories will not be abandoned, just put on hiatus until I've actually finished a significant number of stories that are actually still on the list.

The drop for this vote will be ... (drumroll) ... Really Bad End. It got one vote point, for a running total of 185. It gets to keep this total for when it re-enters voting. But for now, it's out.

Well, you won't hear much complaining from me. :p

Welp, Trump Card overtook the pack, but Nemesis has a really good chance to win next.

Spreadsheet has been updated. And while it has a chance, I'd hesitate to call it "really good." Current projections put Slippery Slope a mere 11 votes behind it in Vote 112, which is close enough that just a few people shifting it from their 1-point vote to their 6-point vote could make the difference.

That said, if Slippery Slope does manage to pass Nemesis for Vote 112, Nemesis still has enough of a lead that it will probably be 30+ votes ahead of the competition in Vote 113. So fans of it won't have to worry too much. After that we have almost-certain wins for Recoil and Alea Iacta Est in that order, by more than 300 and 200 votes respectively. Not much chance of something overtaking those two powerhouses. And then we might finally see updates for MirrorVerse and NSW.

I think this is a very wise choice. It will enable you to concentrate votes so you can finish stories. And yes I am saying this with the knowledge that All Alone, my top fave, may very well make that list.

You shouldn't have to worry about that too much. All Alone has been earning 50+ votes for quite some time now; several more stories would have to get axed first before it's at risk.

Far more likely to drop off next is Bait & Switch, which has been puttering along at 10-20 votes pretty consistently and hasn't won a vote in nearly a year and a half -- though Ack, if you're reading, I'd suggest that you weight things slightly in favor of stories which have a high vote total, even if they're only bringing them in slowly. B&S, for example, is up to 1,100+ by this point -- dropping it now may not be fair to those people who've been voting for it consistently for a long time.

At least this time there weren't an overwhelming number of predictions suggesting otherwise. :p



Finally, here's my vote:

[X] Meet the Heberts - 6
[X] NSW - 5
[X] War Games - 4
[X] One More Trigger - 3
[X] I, Panacea - 2
[X] Recoil - 1

It took me a while to figure out what you meant, but yes, that's right (this time, at least).

Incidentally, I'm the guy who gave the one point to Really Bad End - if it wasn't for me it would've had zero points this round. But I wasn't voting for it with any good reason, anyway.

Please Warn me if anyone has changed their mind continuing the deal.

Everyone start making trades like you never traded before.

Angush posted a week or two ago saying he'd forgotten about this thread, and telling everyone they could remove their trades with him.

Well, let me widen that gap a bit. Voted 6 for Slippery Slope last round and none for Nemesis. However, I've kind of grown tired of this endless storyvoting, so as a token of my appreciation to pepperjack, I'll just put some votes in Nemesis for them.
[X] Nemesis - 6
 
As usual, heavily based on my previous vote...

[] I'm Halping - 13
[] The Great Tattletale Caper - 12
[] Entanglement - 11
[] It Gets Worse - 10
[] Price of Blood - 9
[] One Bad Day - 8
[] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero - 7
[X] One More Trigger - 6
[X] Hostage Situation - 5
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 4
[X] Confrontation II - 3
[X] All Alone - 2 (traded with Anaja for One More Trigger)
[X] Junior Hero - 1
[] I, Panacea - 0
[] Trump Card - 0 (and for the record, yes, I'm Russian)
[] War Games - 0
[] Wyvern - 0

Not particularly interested in most of the rest, sorry - Recoil and Slippery Slope especially.
(For most of the others I just don't recall what they're about. What were MirrorVerse and Danny & Taylor about again?)

Anaja - I'm assuming our trade is still going on? (Though I'm sufficiently interested in All Alone that I'd probably be voting for it either way.)

MirrorVerse is basically the standard Mirror Universe where everyone good is evil and vice versa. Includes evil/dark-ish NSW stuff as well.

Danny & Taylor is Ack's incest fic, with, as the title says, Danny and Taylor having sex, as well as Vicky and Amy. Also, Danny and Taylor have powers similar to Doormaker and Clairvoyant, respectively.

Both of these have SFW and NSFW versions.
