Mirrorverse and Earning Her Stripes are neck and neck for vote 255, so that one could go either way.
For the record, the margin of victory given is for the distance between second and third, and the reporting order is first then second.

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.

A Darker Path [Complete] (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 [Under Commission] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
All Alone [Under Commission] (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 [Under Commission] (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.)
First Telkan [On Hiatus] (A crossover with the massively popular Reddit serial First Contact, by Ralts Bloodthorne.)
Gravitas [On Hiatus] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
Yet Another Way [Under Commission] (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?

[Links to each of the stories in my sig, or here]

Wyvern definitely came in first place, with Reality Intrudes taking up the second slot. Next month is likely to be Earning Her Stripes, with maybe Snek is a Good Boy or War Games following on. Also, as noted above, I'm dropping Taylor Hebert: PRT Operative back into the mix.

Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage, Earning Her Stripes, Reality Intrudes and Snek is a Good Boy 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.
