Taken a little while to get around to this due to RL but now that I've gotten a chance to unpack the votes, it can be seen which stories are doing the best, and which ones are struggling. Again, Trump Card turns in the best performance, picking up 173 votes this time around, followed by Recoil's second-place finish with 151 votes, and then by this round's overall winner, I, Panacea, which just squeaked into the top three with 132 votes. Moving down to the bottom three, Meet the Heberts starts that off, having gotten just 41 votes, followed by All Alone with 33, and finally, Danny & Taylor bringing up the rear, with only 31 votes. NSW continues to be the best performing NSFW story, picking up 60 votes in this round. Vote totals for each story this round can be found under the spoiler.

Currently commission only, until I finish one of my current fics.

Also in other news:

My beta-reader, Lady Columbine of Mystal (aka Karen Buckeridge) is publishing her first novel soon. She's graciously given me permission to post up the first three chapters on this site and a few others; there's also a link via my sig.

The series will be called Celestial Wars, but the first novel is Ties that Bind.

Oh, I definitely will, someday.

I just need to a) have the time, b) refine my writing skills a little more and c) rough out the ongoing plot some more.

Glad to hear it. Rediscovered that one a couple hours ago while like-diving, and I quite liked it both times around.

Okay, here's the latest chapter for I, Panacea.

Sorry about the delay. I had five pages up, my beta looked at it, and told me that it just wouldn't do. So I had to redo the whole thing again from scratch, after doing Slippery Slope & It Gets Worse.

Anyway, here it is.

Voting is CLOSED.
 
Vote 144: Trump Card
Thanks, as always, for voting.

Voting points this round: 1123

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

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.)
Gravitas [0] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
How Taylor Hebert Agreed to be a Slut [0] (This drops Taylor into the Slut Life CYOA.)
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.)
Reality Intrudes [0] (A Worm/Matrix crossover fic).
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.

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

Slippery Slope is now off hiatus. Is available for commissions.

Welp, I thought it was going to be All Alone, but Trump Card snuck in first. Ah well, we know what's up next then. And following that ... hmm. We don't have any in the thousand range, but quite a few front-runners in the 700-800 range. As the man said just before the fifteen-car pileup, "this should be interesting".

Also, It Gets Worse is almost done! One more chapter! Woo! And Slippery Slope has started up in the commissions again.

Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

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:

1) UP TO six votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
2) First vote is worth six points, second is worth five, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story. The voting code will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.
6) When I have finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.
