Thanks, as always, for voting.
Voting points this round: 1353

Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.
I will continue to trim stories off the list. 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) ...
Junior Hero. It got 23 vote points (26 less than
Danny & Taylor), for a running total of 140. It gets to keep this total for when it re-enters voting. But for now, it's out.
Current list of stories that have been put on the inactive list, and their vote totals:
Really Bad End 185
MirrorVerse 1140
Bait & Switch 1164
Junior Hero 140
User Errors:
Dr. Mercurious - you titled
Confrontation II wrongly. I fixed it, this time.
ArbaletShot - cancel your vote, and re-post it. That way it'll get counted.
On to the main event.
Alea Iacta Est 1332
All Alone 1165
Confrontation II 977
Danny & Taylor 619
Hostage Situation 566
I, Panacea 776
Meet the Heberts 834
NSW 1294
Nemesis 107
One More Trigger 644
Recoil 0 (1710)
Slippery Slope 70
Trump Card 421
War Games 553
Wyvern 475
[If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the
first post of the thread..]
And that's
Recoil up, and
Junior Hero dropped from the voting. That makes 15 stories in the voting list. I think I'll drop one more, to bring it down to 14. I won't add any more until I've completed a few.
After Recoil, it'll be Alea Iacta Est, then NSW at a rough guess.
Then after that, maybe
All Alone.

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.
Vote format looks like this:
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] War Games - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1
Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.
Thank you.
Voting is OPEN.
