Okay. I am very sorry for the extended absence. I went on holidays, which were awesome (I got to meet Nathan Fillion, and he shook my hand, and signed my Firefly box set). Plus, I needed a little time to get back into the flow of things (and I've started a novel, which has required a lot of work). But here's the latest Hostage Situation.

So, time to get things rolling again.

Voting is CLOSED.
 
Vote 108: Junior Hero

    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    User Errors:
    1986ctcel - Neglected to put the hyphen in Nemesis. I put it in.
    Maefly - It Gets Worse isn't a voting option. I've put the three points toward the lowest-scoring story, which happens to be Really Bad End. It thanks you.
    Powergoat - All Unaware is a completed story, and is not in the voting list. I'm going to presume you meant All Alone.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 663
    All Alone 824
    Bait & Switch 1047
    Confrontation II 520
    Danny & Taylor 376
    Hostage Situation 93
    I, Panacea 1502

    War Games 153
    Wyvern 1270

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

    After this will likely be I, Panacea, then maybe Nemesis and Slippery Slope.


    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.

    Vote format looks like this:

    [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.

    That... cannot possibly be true. The last vote of that session, as well as the second - among many others - included points for Wyvern (mine didn't, though - can't recall why).

    And in any case - my vote for this session. As always, heavily based on my previous vote...

    [] I'm Halping - 13
    [] The Great Tattletale Caper - 12
    [] Entanglement - 11
    [] It Gets Worse - 10
    [] All Unaware - 9
    [] One Bad Day - 8
    [] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero - 7
    [X] One More Trigger - 6
    [X] Hostage Situation - 5
    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 4
    [X] Wyvern - 3
    [X] All Alone - 2 (traded with Anaja for One More Trigger)
    [X] Really Bad End - 1
    [] Confrontation II - 0
    [] Trump Card - 0
    [] War Games - 0
    [] I, Panacea - 0

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

    Note: as before, I'm very unsure what to do for my 2 option, so I'm willing to trade it for a One More Trigger vote. (Not interested in Recoil, Slippery Slope, and, for obvious reasons, anything with an X in my vote already; will at least consider pretty much everything else, but my non-X options especially.) Quote this paragraph if you want to use this :)

    EDIT: successfully done the trade for this round, thanks Anaja!
