Probably about 5 or 6 (rough estimate, don't hold me to it).

...I thought it was closer to 2-3. Ugh. It seems that we might yet see only 9 or 8 stories left in the voting before Slippery Slope stops being an option. It's hard enough to find a full 6-option vote as it is.

You don't have to vote for six stories. Just stick to your favorites.

Indeed, strategic voting or not voting is quite valid to get the stories you want to update more often.

For Example, if you really want Slippery Slope (which is currently getting the second least votes on average) and Recoil and Wyvern (the top 2), you would be well served to only vote for Slippery slope with your 6. If you vote 6 slippery slope, 5 recoil, 4 Wyvern you ensure lots of Recoil and Wyvern with not a lot of slippery slope.

Of course, if everyone's voting habits change the votes you need to make to get what you want will need to change as well.

Of note, if everyone voted for the same 6 stories with the same rate, there would be a repeating pattern of 17 wins. 4 updates for each story getting 4, 5, and 6; 2 updates for 2 and 3, and one update for the 1 vote.

Hmm. Let this slip a bit. Probably missed a vote or two.

*Recoil is my personal favorite, so it kinda hurts to vote it lower, but with Sleepyfoo's explanation of how voting works, I kind of want to see some of the less released stories pop up more often. Yes, even with the crazy ending of that latest chapter of Recoil. Which was so good!

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=welcome+to+utopia&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

Also, I have a free novel on Smashwords, called The Uncle Tal Stories.

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.)
All Alone [25] (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?)
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.)
Collateral Damage [0] (Danny is the most dangerous Tinker in the world. Taylor is her father's daughter.)

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.)

None, today.


On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 249
Danny & Taylor 471
Hostage Situation 372
I, Panacea 0 (688)
One More Trigger 295
Reality Intrudes 344
Recoil 280
Slippery Slope 52
War Games 559
Wyvern 390

As predicted, I, Pancea is up next, followed in all likelihood by War Games. Danny & Taylor is currently in the lead following that, but chances are that Wyvern and maybe Hostage Situation will pip it at the post.


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:

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.

Predictions:

Vote 187: Recoil by 114 Votes
Vote 188: Hostage Situation by 32 Votes

Vote 191: I, Panacea by 84 Votes
Vote 192: Recoil by 7 Votes
Vote 193: Wyvern by 53 Votes
Vote 194: Reality Intrudes by 114 Votes


Order once again remains unchanged. Hostage Situation has pulled it's lead back for 188. Recoil is barely holding on to 192. If things remain unchanged, Danny and Taylor will be 195, but I don't have confidence in predictions that far out.
