Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

Wait...GW_Yoda actually paid you to write that chapter?

How much for a chapter of Price of Blood?

 

You too can do so as well! Here's a link to Ack's Patreon.

 

Yes, he did.

PMing you now.

 

Worth it. It isn't on the voting list and it is one of my favorite stories by Ack.

 

Not sure how legal that is, this being fan fiction.

 

Cambrian had been doing it for ages, anyway.

 

Now, if you were to commission someone to transcribe the original work for you, in lieu of buying that from the publisher, that would run afoul of copyright. This is still fair use unless/until a court rules otherwise.

OK so I have one query: is this the type of set up where the high number means you want it more or is it where the high number is the one you do not want?
(( and yes I have this almost set up for the answer to the query ))

At the end of each voting period, the story with the highest cumulative vote has that reset, and a chapter written.

 

mouse K thank you for clearing that up for me. Now to go edit my previous post.

 

and a cruel wast of time.

 

But perfect if you want to give someone carpal tunnel.

 

Well, if the work is in an easily-readable electronic format, sure. If it's handwritten or something...

 

[X] NSW-6
[X] All Unaware-5

 

Just to let you know, All Unaware is a completed story. Your votes towards that won't matter.

 

[X] Whichever non-smut story you are, by your own estimation, closest to completing - 6
[X] Danny & Taylor - 5 (I'm hoping Pathfinder and Compass Rose will take down the Dragonslayers next.)

 

I don't think the vote tallying system can take vagueness like that first item (and I don't know if parenthetical notes will interfere with parsing).

Meanwhile, there appears to have been an unannounced update to Slippery Slope.

 

Ack has mentioned that he has finished planning Slippery Slope and he is currently updating a chapter of it for ~ every chapter of a story that wins here.
Also he mentioned that he will update another chapter of Another Way because of a Patreon reward.
Both those stories are not part of the voting lineup

 

Two notes:
1) As GW_Yoda has noted, All Unaware is a completed story.
2) Your formatting is off. The dash needs a space on either side of it. If you don't do this by the time I start tallying votes, your vote will be ignored.

The tallying system certainly will not take that sort of vagueness. Pick a story and vote for it, please.

Parenthetical comments after the vote are all right, I think.

Also: due to complications, One More Trigger won't be coming out till Saturday, sorry.

 

Yay for complete stories, even if I haven't actually read that one yet. I'll get around to it one of these days.

Speaking of complete stories, will there be a separate vote to move a story to the active list, or will you be deciding once you've completed one of the active stories?

 

I believe the plan is to open a vote for which fic to add to the voting list once something is completed.

[X] Trump Card - 5

Ah, sorry, didn't realize the tallying was automated. I'll abstain, then, until I've read more of your WIP's.

 

[X] Trump Card - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 4
[X] All Alone - 3
[X] One More Trigger - 2

Ghah.

I had the chapter finished on Wednesday night, but I wasn't able to run it past my beta till tonight. She liked it, after a few minor modifications, and then I tried to post it.

Nope.

For some reason, a giant fucking chunk of the text decided that it would become italic once it was dropped into the edit box, and the only way to fix that shit was to go through and manually input all the italic formatting, then run that chunk through Notepad to take out whatever fucking hidden formatting was making that happen.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Welp, that's done. Back to the grindstone.

One More Trigger.

Voting is CLOSED.
