    Next chapter of Another Way is up.

    As Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity seem to be down at the moment, I will continue posting to my other sites and post the backlog onto the others when/if they come back up.

    Voting will continue.

    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Enter the Nemesis 161

    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.)

    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:
    No errors noted this time.


    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 74
    Collateral Damage 35
    Hostage Situation 541
    I, Panacea 491
    One More Trigger 413
    Reality Intrudes 349
    Recoil 455
    Slippery Slope 558
    War Games 0 (563)
    Wyvern 323

    War Games is up as predicted. While Slippery Slope currently has the lead for next pick, Hostage Situation is likely to overhaul it. Coming up fast also is I, Panacea, with Recoil powering up the straight behind it.

    Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

    As Collateral Damage is based on short sharp chapters (like Reality Intrudes) you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time that 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.

    Unfortunately, MirrorVerse is one of the inactive stories so you can't vote for it. Which is a bit unfair, because if it were restored today it would win the next round by a huge margin.
