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.

NOTE: Outside of All Alone and Confrontation II which will always be #1 and #2, I will be tailoring my vote to upvote the stories that have the least amount to go before being posted.

I think it means that the spreadsheet thinks no story is going to have more than 1164 points (so that Bait & Switch would have won if it was still in the running, even without getting a single point more).
[EDIT: just checked, and yes, that's exactly what happens - the predicted highest count is 1020. Might actually happen the round before if NSW gets unlucky.]

If this does actually happen, I'm going to petition Ack to count Bait & Switch as winning that round anyway :)

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.

Ah-ha. Thank you. That explains things. Now to go and bug the Monoploy Man to give Ack some lucre…

Just like always I'd like to ask if anyone voting for Alea Iacta Est, Wyvern and Trump Card would be willing to throw some votes to Danny & Taylor, NSW and Meet the Heberts?

Okay, the way it is now. I've just done a (commissioned) chapter of I'm HALPING!, and from here I'll be doing a chapter of Slippery Slope then on to Alea Iacta Est. That's when voting will renew.

With any luck, the chapter of Slippery Slope will be posted Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It won't be before then.

Thank you for your patience.

Thus, your (semi) regular chapter of Slippery Slope is here.

Next, I will be doing Alea Iacta Est. This will probably post Saturday or Sunday.

After that ... we shall see. There will be a chapter of Price of Blood in the works for August, and possibly one of either I'm HALPING! or It Gets Worse, depending on the whim of commissions.

In the meantime, I will probably be working on the novel. All them words I gotta brain on to the page.
