Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

Vote 112: Nemesis
Thanks, as always, for voting.

Voting points this round: 1330

Announcements
Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

I will be trimming stories off the list, starting right now. Whichever story has the lowest number of vote points this round will be dropped off the list. Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories 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.

The drop for this vote will be ... (drumroll) ... MirrorVerse. It got 25 vote points (one less than Junior Hero), for a running total of 1140. It gets to keep this total for when it re-enters voting. But for now, it's out.

User Errors:
Visual Pun , Zan - I, Panacea is not spelt with an L on the end. I have fixed your votes, this time.
Snake/Eater - you didn't put a number on Bait & Switch, but I remedied that. This time :p

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 1099
All Alone 1039
Bait & Switch 1141
Confrontation II 826
Danny & Taylor 519
Hostage Situation 417
I, Panacea 436
Junior Hero 93
Meet the Heberts 705
NSW 1124
Nemesis 0 (1584)
One More Trigger 486
Recoil 1412
Slippery Slope 1534
Trump Card 139
War Games 424
Wyvern 232

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

And that's Nemesis up, and MirrorVerse dropped from the voting.

I'm guessing Slippery Slope next, then Recoil (unless Recoil slides in first), then maybe Bait & Switch and NSW.


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) If you vote for a story that is not on the voting list, those point(s) will go to the story that got the least number of vote points that round.
6) [current situation] I will be pruning the list.
6a) Each voting round, I will be dropping the story that has garnered the fewest vote points for that round.
6b) That story will be removed from the voting list but not abandoned; it will keep its current total of vote points.
6c) Voting for stories that are not on the voting list will not increase their vote point totals. Those votes will instead be lost.
6d) If a story reaches the top of the list with the least amount of vote points for that round, I will update it then remove it from the list.
6e) When I have a) pruned the list to an acceptable size, and b) finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.

Temporary votes for now tIL deals are made

By my math, if it's correct, the 3 stories that got the most votes this last round were Recoil with 183, I, Panacea with 155, and Trump Card with 139. Among the remaining stories, the bottom 3 performances were Bait & Switch with 38, Danny & Taylor with 36, and at the bottom, Junior Hero with 26. Assuming that voting patterns remain more or less consistent, All Alone, which got only 40 votes is likely to fall into the bottom 3 performers at the conclusion of this current round. Of the NSFW stories, NSW had the best performance this round. The vote totals for this round as I added them up are under the spoiler below.

Dang. That's gonna throw my projections off; MirrorVerse already had enough votes that it was showing up as a predicted winner within 5 rounds. Now it's just gonna sit there.

I currently put it as Slippery Slope (which has solidified its lead to 30+), Recoil, Alea Iacta Est, and then finally NSW.

I'm with ctcel; if you read any of Ack's NSFW stuff, consider putting it at the top of your voting list. They tend to get far fewer votes than his other stories, since apparently not everyone wants to read about teenage heroes & villians boning. :rolleyes:

edit: actually, don't usually go for the whole vote trading thing, but this round only, I'm up for trading any of my votes from 5 down, for anything you like, for an equivalent (or greater) gap in Recoil > Slippery Slope votes.
eg. you: Recoil 5, no SS vote = my 5 slot
you: Recoil 4, SS 3 = my 1 slot

mouse, I'll take you up on that for your Bait & Switch vote, this round. Drop it in favor of War Games (and bump it to position #4), and I'll vote for Recoil in spot four, which I normally never do.

Confirming, you'll swap out Slippery Slope for Recoil in your 4 slot, not vote Slippery Slope, and in return I'll vote War Games at 4 and not vote Bait and Switch.
