Dammit. Missed a vote.

And that's Confrontation II up, for more about the coming trainwreck between Sophia and Brian.

Click to shrink...

Man, it's been so long since I read that one I barely remember where it left off last time... still need to go re-read it.

So, Trump Card squeaked in with 11 vote points ahead of Wyvern, which will be next in line, then we've got a mess of choices, all over the thousand mark: Hostage Situation, Meet the Heberts, One More Trigger, Recoil and War Games. I can't even begin to pick it.

Click to shrink...

Wyvern is definitely locked in for the next win. Right now it looks like Recoil has squeaked past Meet the Heberts (possibly because of my missing 6-point vote for it ). Then it looks like War Games, Hostage Situation and One More Trigger.



My vote:

[X] Meet the Heberts - 6
[X] NSW - 5
[X] Danny & Taylor - 4
[X] War Games - 3
[X] One More Trigger - 2
[X] I, Panacea - 1

Okay, Slippery Slope is up. Still working on Trump Card. Expect it on Tuesday (or failing that, Wednesday) night.

Voting will continue.

As usual, heavily based on my previous vote...

[] Entanglement - 12
[] It Gets Worse - 11
[] Price of Blood - 10
[] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 9

[X] One More Trigger - 6
[X] War Games - 5
[X] Wyvern - 4
[X] All Alone - 3 (traded with Anaja for One More Trigger)
[X] Danny & Taylor - 2
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 1
[] Confrontation II - 0
[] Hostage Situation - 0
[] I, Panacea - 0
[] MirrorVerse - 0
[] Trump Card - 0 (and for the record, yes, I'm Russian)

Not particularly interested in most of the rest, sorry - Recoil especially.
(For most* of the others I just don't recall what they're about. What were NSW and Meet the Heberts about again?)

Missed the last vote, sorry - almost missed this vote too

Took Confrontation II out of my vote for the moment, because apparently I have to catch up to it a bit. (And to others too, but I'm geniunely uncertain about this one.)
Will probably put it back later.


*) okay, both - apparently there's so few remaining stories that I ended up mentioning every single one in my post

Okay, so Trump Card is done and posted.

Well, not precisely. I actually wrote about 14K words for it, but that's too much, so I chopped it in half. First half has been beta'd and posted. Second half is coming up on Saturday independently of anything else I'm writing. So you get that on top. Aren't I nice.

Anyway.

Voting is CLOSED.

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.

Junior Hero 140

Spoiler: Posted Stories Not on the Voting List

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.)
Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
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.)
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.)

Spoiler: Still in Development

The Centre Cannot Hold - Taylor gets a really weird power, and makes full use of it. Crack.

That makes 13 stories in the voting list. I think I'll hold it there for the moment. I won't add any more until I've completed a few, though I might will be posting Slippery Slope alongside the regular chapters.

I'm guessing Recoil up next. Just a guess, mind you

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.
