So, how do the commissioned updates fit in with the biweekly rotation? Or… I'm confused. The vote thread is monthly, there was one monthly commissioned update, but now there are two, and Slipperly Slope whenever you have time? Oh well. I suppose I'll just have to be pleasantly surprised.;)

There is no biweekly rotation.

The current vote runs until the chapter that won the previous vote is written (though sometimes Ack will extend the vote a day or two if there aren't enough votes made yet). Ack's currently writing one chapter of Slippery Slope per voted on chapter.

At times Ack can write 3-4 chapters a week or more (with as many subsequent votes), it's all up to how much free time he has, and how creative his muse is being. IIRC, his current job has some pretty long hours that's cut into his writing time, which is why we're not seeing that type of output from Ack atm.

For proof, just look at the dates on the threadmarks page for this thread, in many cases we were getting a new chapter/vote every single day.

Another round of voting concluded, which means it's time to tally the results. This last round's best performance came from Trump Card, with 191 votes, followed by I, Panacea with 186, and then Recoil rounds out the top three, having garnered 168 votes. Moving down to the opposite end of the spectrum, the bottom three performances start off with All Alone & its 51 votes- that makes it two rounds in a row that it's stayed off the very bottom. Dropping down a spot, we have Meet the Heberts, with 49 votes, and in last place is Danny & Taylor, which only got 48 votes this round. Once again, NSW turned in the best performance among the NSW stories, having again garnered 62 votes. Vote totals for each story this round are under the spoiler below.
