Hey new guy here

[X] Slippery Slope - 6

This good? And when can I vote again? ;)

That's a valid vote. We can each cast one set of votes between when Ack opens a voting round and when he closes it. This will be when he publishes the next chapter (or 2 chapters, in the case of stories that get 2 chapters at a time) from among stories up for voting. He also makes really obvious posts indicating when voting is open or closed. If you look back through this channel, you can see examples.
 
Have a new chapter for A Darker Path.

And welcome to Neko Tamo - good to see you here.

The voting is not yet finished; the next post will be a double-up (Reality Intrudes) of two 3500+ posts. Once both of them have gone up, then i will announce the result of this voting round, and open the floor to new voting. Next few days (3-5, probably).

Junior Hero 140
Enter the Nemesis 161

A Darker Path [0] (Taylor has triggered with a shard called Path to Ending. She can kill anyone or anything. Also, she has no more fucks to give. Have a nice day.)
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.)
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.)
Earning Her Stripes [0] (Sophia has gotten three power vials. Emma and Madison took two, and they're aiming to make Taylor into a villain with the third.)
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.)
First Telkan [0] (A crossover with the massively popular Reddit serial First Contact, by Ralts Bloodthorne.)
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).
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.)
Prodigal Daughter [0] (Taylor isn't quite right. But that's okay. She's Jack Slash's daughter. Brockton Bay is in for ... a time.)
Snek is a Good Boy [0] (The adorrifying adventures of a large snek in and around Brockton Bay.)
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

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

User Errors: None (woo!)

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 166
Collateral Damage 68
Hostage Situation 217
One More Trigger 310
Reality Intrudes 43
Recoil 423
Slippery Slope 93
War Games 399
World War Scion 102
Wyvern 0 (505)

Welp, Wyvern romped in with a clear eighty-point lead over Recoil, which has already passed War Games so there's no prizes for guessing what's up next month. However, once War Games has had its turn, it looks like One More Trigger might be in the running again. Also, a shout-out to World War Scion, which just passed 100 points. Hang in there, you can do it. I believe in you.


Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage and Reality Intrudes are based on short, sharp chapters you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time either one comes up, instead of one 7K+ chapter.


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.
