    Can I ask for a clarification about how your schedule works? (Sorry in advance if you find the following to be rude, I am really just asking for info about your schedule, not demanding anything or accusing you of anything)


    From what I understand you post 2 commissioned chapters per month (this month it was Halping and Price of Blood) that are not part of the voting order.
    So how exactly do you proceed each month? Do you write the 2 commissioned chapters and after that you start the one on the voting order?

    The next story is War Games. Are you planning on releasing it next, or will you start writing it and when the next month comes you will put it one the back-burner and go back to the commissioned chapters and leave it for the end of February? After all, since you are paid by your patrons for the chapters you have to give the commissions priority.

    What happens if you get inspired and finish it fast? Will you continue with the following chapter in the order (Trump Card probably) or will you start what you guess will be the next commissions.

    What I am really asking is will you always try to post a voted chapter between the commissioned ones (if you believe that you have the time to finish the commissioned ones obviously) ?



    Also on a different note are you planning to return to Slippery Slope? You put it on hiatus because of the mess in ▅▅▅▅ because of ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅. You said you would return when things calmed down. Have you given any thought about it? I ask because you said you had it all planned out and were on a roll to finish it.



    Finally about your newest story (Reality Intrudes). You were updating it a lot but then you stopped. Is it like Halping and Price of Blood (stopped unless someone commissions a chapter and/or you get inspiration to write one), or are you continuing it and just don't have the time to write for it?

    I'm gonna be doing War Games next, yes.

    I'll finish it, then hit up February's commissioned chapters, one of which is one that hasn't been updated in a while and the other ... well, I don't know which one that will be.

    I won't be starting the commissioned chapters till February. If I finish War Games quickly, I might start on the next in line or I might do something else, such as work some more on my novel.

    Yes.



    I will try to get back to that one. Given that the focus is off certain issues, I can see myself working on it again.



    It will be continued. If someone commissions it, it will be continued much more quickly. However, you may have noticed that I'm trying a slightly different format with it. Whereas my other stories range from 6K to 12+K in length, generally increasing as the fic gets on, I'm keeping the chapter lengths to Reality Intrudes down to 2.5-3.5K in length. Short and sharp, with enough length for a bite, but not enough to get lost in.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1271

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories that have been taken off the list 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.

    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    Slippery Slope 221

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    Another Way [0] (Marquis beat shit out of BBB, then spent the next eight years in Boston. Now that his daughter has triggered, he's come back. She's having a ball.)
    Conflict [0] (It's 1980. Contessa managed to shank Eden without getting nerfed. Doctor Mother now has Eidolon's powerset, without the insecurity complex. They've got two years to prepare before Scion shows up.)
    Entanglement [0] (Taylor has her bug powers. However, she is now randomly body-swapping with a Taylor from an Earth without super-powers. Both are rather confused.)
    Fuck Worm! [0] {NSFW} (A double SI, where a couple gets dropped into the Wormverse on opposite sides. Only just started.)
    Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
    I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
    It Gets Worse [0] (Taylor has a pre-emptive power designed to rain down havoc on anyone trying to harm her or anyone she cares for. Coincidences get somewhat ridiculous at times.)
    One Bad Day [0] (Sophia murders Grue. Taylor murders Sophia and Madison. Lisa murders her new team leader. Amy mindwipes Vicky. It's one hell of a bad day.)
    Price of Blood [0] (Taylor's power is responsible for hundreds of deaths. Shadow Stalker is now working for Coil. Things are actually looking up.)
    The Rape of Taylor Hebert [0] {NSFW} (Starts dark. Features actual rape. You have been warned. Not at all safe for work, minors or anyone else of a sensitive disposition.)
    Yet Another Way [0] (A spin-off of Another Way, where Carol killed Amy. The BBB is now out of the picture, and Marquis has managed to adopt the Dallon and Pelham kids.)

    A Friend At Winslow - Non-Taylor-centric, but involving Taylor.
    The Centre Cannot Hold - Taylor gets a really weird power, and makes full use of it. Crack.
    Dinah Alcott, Ruler of the World - Exactly what it says on the tin.
    EverYthiNg YoU kNow iS WroNg - The Birdcage is a luxury resort. Marquis was sandbagging. It's all a LIE, I tell you! Pure crack.
    Force Projection - A sequel to my original fiction Number Two.
    Hostile Takeover - Marquis had a son. He's just come back to Brockton Bay.
    Identity Theft - An international freelancer needs to hide out in Brockton Bay. Guess who she looks like?
    Isel - Prequel to my original fiction King's Man
    Parallel - A time travel story, involving Taylor's son from after Gold Morning.
    Living in Brockton Bay is Suffering - A perfect storm of bad events happens, leaving Tagg in charge of the PRT, based in Brockton Bay.
    Library Blues (working title) - A massive AU where Taylor is an adult, working in the library of Winslow High. Brian is the principal, and Sophia is the head coach.
    Terminal: A cancer sufferer triggers with powers. His life does not improve. News at eleven.


    User Errors:
    none.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 1025
    All Alone 850
    Confrontation II 238
    Danny & Taylor 263
    Hostage Situation 957
    I, Panacea 304
    Meet the Heberts 605
    NSW 238
    One More Trigger 703

    Trump Card 0 (1236)
    War Games 98
    Wyvern 596

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

    After that, either Alea Iacta Est, Recoil or Hostage Situation.

    Also, I'll be writing two commissioned chapters. Specifically, Are You Afraid of the Dark? and either I'm HALPING! or It Gets Worse (whichever I feel like).

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