    First Telkan isn’t in the voting rotation, however much I wish it was.

    You placed two votes for War Games.

    I could have been more clear and said it dropped to 176, which is 3 votes past the 10 I post.

    I just think dropping quite so far all at once is suitably dramatic for the hyperbole of "dropped completely off the list".

    However, looking at my expanded data, it's 10 votes shy of winning 168, 14 shy of 169, and 3 shy of 170. So those votes are really anyone's guess at this point.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 704

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system has been fixed. Wooo!

    It has come to my attention that I have been slacking off. I'm going to try to speed up my posting of vote stories.

    Novel is PUBLISHED. [Welcome to Utopia]

    I'm posting it, one chapter per week, in my sig.
    Link to get, if interested: https://books2read.com/u/b68xeZ
    Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=welcome+to+utopia&ref=nb_sb_noss_2


    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
    All Alone 25

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    All Alone [0] (Emma dies in the alley, so Taylor makes a new friend. Sophia Hess. But after some very bad decisions. she's all alone again. Or is she?)

    Celestial Worm [0] (Crossover with Ties That Bind, a novel written by my beta reader.)
    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).
    How Taylor Hebert Agreed to be a Slut [0] {NSFW} (This drops Taylor into the Slut Life CYOA.)

    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.

    Terminal: A cancer sufferer triggers with powers. His life does not improve. News at eleven.

    User Errors:
    Chojomeka - You used an equals sign instead of a hyphen in your NSW vote. Manually fixed.
    Diraniola - You need to put a hyphen between the name of the story and the number. Your votes have been manually entered.
    Dr. Mercurious - You voted for War Games twice in the same vote. One of your votes was annulled. Sorry.


    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 0 (917)
    Confrontation II 225
    Danny & Taylor 170
    Hostage Situation 433
    I, Panacea 88
    Meet the Heberts 493
    NSW 448
    One More Trigger 351
    Reality Intrudes 457
    Recoil 879
    War Games 130
    Wyvern 468

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

    Chances are, next we will have Recoil. After that ... anyone's guess. There's a whole lot in the 400 range.

    Check out Sleepyfoo 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:

    Vote format looks like this:

    Thank you.

    Voting is OPEN.

    PSA: At this point it would take over 60 votes of 6 for Meet the Heberts to pass up Recoil for next update, with that number only increasing for any other story. As such, if you usually vote for Recoil, please consider giving that vote to another story so the points don't get wasted when Recoil resets. Thank you. *steps down from soapbox*

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

    Not actually a fic but I would also vote for this if I could:

    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 3
    [X] I, Panacea - 2
    [X] Danny & Taylor - 1

    Predictions:
    Vote 165: Recoil by 405 Votes
    Vote 166: Wyvern by 142 Votes
    Vote 167: Hostage Situation by 6 Votes
    Vote 168: Meet The Heberts by 1 Votes
    Vote 169: One More Trigger by 20 Votes
    Vote 170: NSW by 15 Votes
    Vote 171: I, Panacea by 29 Votes
    Vote 172: Confontation 2 by 28 Votes
    Vote 173: Alea Iacta Est by 43 Votes
    Vote 174: Recoil by 61 Votes

    NSW is back at 170 knocking everything below it down one, and Reality Intrudes has dropped all the way too 177, being replaced by Meet The Heberts at 168. The rest of the order is essentially unchanged. However, as you can see, 167 and 168 are super close races and 167-170 could be any of those 4 stories at this time. Reality Intrudes best shot prior to 177 is 168, and it's now in 4th place by 10 votes for that one.
