    Frankly, I have other sources of lighthearted fun that don't make me put up with the turnoff of mixing plotlessness with sex.

    MirrorVerse is in it's early stages, just give it the benefit of the doubt. or give a honest critique what you didn't like.

    I am honestly critiquing the fact that there wasn't any plot in the fourteen chapters that I read.

    I've read stories that were OVER in fourteen chapters.

    I gave it way more chances than I would usually give something without any plot, exactly because people kept saying that they were sure there would be plot soon, and it continuously failed me.

    Edit: I misread that and thought you were talking about NSW, which I could almost understand you being confused at me not liking. I'm no longer going to attempt to appease your nonsense, now that I've realized you're talking about the world that is darker than canon worm with even less hope or any reason to stick it out and nobody is likable.

    I realized earlier today that I have been confusing Ack's MirrorVerse with Cracked Mirror. I was upset at first, but the latest update of MirrorVerse has retroactively earned my votes. I am now convinced that Ack is a witch.

    I seem to remember something about an Apple (or a quince for the really studious).
    Just abot all of Acks NSW fics have negative plot value. That's why the ONLY time I've voted for one was to get it's final chapter out and open up a voting space for a good fic.

    ... And frankly... The porn isn't that good either...

    I don't think it's Ack, exactly. Lack of plot is a problem that most NSFW fics have. I think they tend to work best as omakes to a more serious work.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    User Errors

    NSW-6: Mojiizen
    Wyvern-3: Mojiizen
    Nemesis-6: tarrangar
    wyvern-5: tarrangar - also, this one needs to be capitalised, thanks.

    Please correct these in future.

    Thank you.

    On to the main event.

    Well, that's Wyvern, with two chapters for the price of one :p. Trump Card came up as expected. After that ... well, let's have a look at what Jim Starluck had to say:

    I've decided to go with the strategy of putting those who are kinda low at the top of my list, and those that will probably update no matter what closer to the bottom. Wyvern is at slightly lower priority now because while it's still awesome, it's slightly less cliffhangery. I've decided to put Confrontation at the top because at this point I just want to know a bit more. Seriously, it's been too long.

    Oh I've come across some exceptionally well done NSFW fics.

    I'm hesitant to link to any, because this is the SFW section, but off the top of my head Monster Girl Quest (it's on AFF) definitely jumps out; there were also several really good PokeGirl fics... if you're willing to sort through all the really bad ones. Wild Horses and Poke Girls (the very first PokeGirl fic, and the one all others were based off of) was one of the best ones.

    Predictions from the spreadsheet aren't much changed this round, even though they're now using the average of the last 5 votes. Order looks to be:

    AIE in Vote 63, at 750~ votes
    I, Panacea in Vote 64, at 800+
    War Games in Vote 65, at 700+
    Wyvern again in Vote 66, just shy of 800
    Recoil in Vote 67, mid-800s
    NSW in Vote 68, also mid-800s
    Security! in Vote 69, possibly beating Trump Card to the 900-vote mark
    Trump Card in Vote 70, definitely passing the 900-vote mark
    AIE in Vote 71, still liable to break 1,000 votes
    Wyvern in Vote 72, also hitting the high-900s


    And if you vote for Meet the Heberts, you get a complimentary like! ;)
    I would've tried to tempt you with Andrea taking off clothes again, but she ran out.
