    I wish ack had playlist's to go with stories. Like for example recoil would be more immersive if there were popular 90s songs like Mr vain or Turn around.

    That's what I like about life on Mars, it's ability to use setting erather music and make it relevant to the scene.

    Aww, dammit. Missed a few vote rounds. Gotta pay more attention to this thread. >.<

    You must've missed NSW; it's currently pegged (no pun intended) to be 150 votes ahead of All Alone and 300 ahead of Confrontation II for Vote 116. There's also I, Panacea coming up fast; if All Alone hangs on long enough it may win before Confrontation does.


    I just want to say thank you to 1986ctcel and all the others working to keep Ack's NSFW fics off the chopping block. We need our Worm smut! :p



    My vote:

    [X] Meet the Heberts - 6
    [X] NSW - 5
    [X] Danny & Taylor - 4
    [X] War Games - 3
    [X] One More Trigger - 2

    Would you consider putting Danny & Taylor in your 6 slot since that is the next one most likely to go?

    To reiterate; voting is not closed. Having had a look at the number of votes currently registered, it's obvious that some people haven't yet voted. So I'll give it another day or so.

    ...huh. Looks like Slippery Slope is on the verge of getting voted off, just as it was announced to be 'in addition to the winning vote' for a little while.

    As typical, heavily based on my previous vote - with some NSFW story saving as well...

    [] 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] War Games - 5
    [X] Meet the Heberts - 4
    [X] All Alone - 3 (traded with Anaja for One More Trigger)
    [X] Confrontation II - 2
    [X] Danny & Taylor - 1
    [] Alea Iacta Est - 0
    [] I, Panacea - 0
    [] MirrorVerse - 0
    [] Trump Card - 0 (and for the record, yes, I'm Russian)
    [] 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 was Hostage Situation about again?)

    As you might have realized from my previous votes, I'm rather ambivalent about Nemesis. So I'm really mostly happy that it wasn't one of my actual favorites (like Confrontation II, One More Trigger or War Games).

    However, while I'm also relatively ambivalent about All Alone (slightly on the "like" side), I really don't want it to disappear one vote before victory (especially not when it's so much ahead of everything else that even if it did get pulled from the running it would probably still have more points than anything else in round 116).
    Unfortunately, due to it being in my current trade, I can't really push it any higher (Anaja, I can probably put it higher this one time if you allow that quickly enough). So I did the next best thing and pulled its main competitor down (as far as I could, anyway - I still wasn't able to bring myself to pull it off the list entirely).


    EDIT:
    ...huh, so it is. (And it even looks like All Alone might not be the second lowest either, which is nice.)

    That would be an almost perfect result for me - Slippery Slope doesn't mess up the voting, and gets to finish on its own terms, so when the voting list starts to expand again it wouldn't randomly end up back there either.

    One of Marquis's henchmen tells Amy about Marquis as he's dying.

    Amy decides she wants to meet her dad, so she holds the world hostage, by saying basically "get my dad out of the Birdcage, or I'll never heal anyone again."

    No, she's holding her powers hostage. She's not threatening anyone else with anything except inaction. :p

    You need to take the hyphen out from between the [X] and the name. It's screwing up your vote. Just saying.

    Okay, that's weird. I did a test count before and I could've sworn I was down near the thousand mark for vote points. Now it's up around 1300.

    That's enough for me.

    Voting is CLOSED.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1393

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    I will continue to trim stories off the list. 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) ... Slippery Slope. It got 61 vote points (2 less than Meet the Heberts), for a running total of 221 points. It gets to keep this total for when it re-enters voting. But for now, it's out.

    Current list of stories that have been put on the inactive list, and their vote totals:
    Really Bad End 185
    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    Slippery Slope 221

    User Errors:
    HearthBorn - Please check the formatting of your vote.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 113
    All Alone 1304
    Confrontation II 1141
    Danny & Taylor 768
    Hostage Situation 750
    I, Panacea 1105
    Meet the Heberts 977
    NSW 0 (1465)
    One More Trigger 805
    Recoil 345
    Trump Card 721
    War Games 755
    Wyvern 750

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

    And that's NSW up, and Slippery Slope dropped from the voting. That makes 13 stories in the voting list. I think I'll hold it there for the moment. I won't add any more until I've completed a few, though I might be posting Slippery Slope alongside the regular chapters.

    (I see what you did there).

    Next up will be All Alone, followed by either I, Panacea or Confrontation II.


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


    For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

    Vote format looks like this:

    Thank you.

    Voting is OPEN.
