So do I! I just thought the whole setting was deader than a doornail.

Do you know of any other sources of RoS fiction?

I don't know much about GURPS, but pretty sure RoS is one of the sourcebooks.

http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/dwmain.shtml

That's the only other fic I know of with a GURPS crossover, but granted I haven't actually ever looked for any.

Fic is called "Drunkard's Walk" and the main character is from the GURPS universe (IST is the sourcebook, I think), but he's lost in the multiverse and trying to find his way home. It consists of several "steps" that are each a full fic in their own right (and as such they don't need to be read in order, since most references to past events are explained); each step takes place in a separate universe. Only two of the steps have been fully written (step 2: Bubblegum Crisis, and step 5: Ah! My Goddess) and you're looking at years between updates usually (though there have been spats of 3-4 chapters in a few months).

The main character's code name (on his team in his home universe) is "Looney Tunes" because his powers come from music he listens to (because of a mutated metagift, he literally has a different power for every song he listens to, though not all songs trigger a power, and there are quite a few negatives), and he fights like Bugs Bunny (the bit where he takes out a Boomer with nothing but a broom and a ketchup bottle is hilarious).

If you've never heard of it before, I suggest giving it a quick read. They're very good even if you're not a fan of any of the fandoms involved (I've read a grand total of 2 bubblegum crisis fics in my life, and both were one part of a much larger multi-cross... 'Drunkard's Walk Step 2: Robot's Rules of Order' is on my personal list of top 20 fics I've read, and I've read thousands...)

*edit- The Ah! My Goddess crossover is actually a crossover with Oh! My Brother,(a pretty good self-insert A!MG fic, and pretty sure it was one of, if not the, first A!MG "self-insert's wish inadvertently turns them into a god" fic) not with canon Ah! My Goddess, and is the official sequel to that fic.

I'm beginning to think I need to root for my favourite fics to be OFF the voting list, since they get updated faster that way...
Loved the new chapter of Another Way, Ack...

I remember once when I was hung up on a chapter of OMT and ended up rattling out six chapters of Security! before I got my head back in the game :p

You can't argue with the muse... you lose if you do.

Jeez, I step away from participating in votes for a few weeks/a month and when I come back... A Vote Exchange?! What's next, I wonder... a Vote Futures and Securities Exchange?

("I'll give 'Story A' a 6 this round in exchange for you placing 'Story B' in your 1 slot over the next six vote sessions...") :p

Great work as always Ack, especially on your new stories. :)

So, I'm willing to give Security! a high vote. Are you willing to give a few small votes for MirrorVerse over the next few rounds?:D:p

Don't take this as a complaint, because I'm really quite appreciative, but you have the uncanny ability to post story updates right when I'm planning on going to bed. Every time. No matter what time of day or night it happens to be.

I fortunately spotted it quick enough that I'll be able to read it before sleep, but he's quite possibly going to count the vote while I'm in bed, which means the prediction may not be up right after.
 
All righty then ...

Tallying votes. Voting is CLOSED. (Okay, fine, nine and a half hours ...)

EDIT: please be patient. QQbot appears to be down, having to tally manually.

Vote 68: Wyvern
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1351

    User Errors
    ioigtam - Yet Another Way is not a voting story yet. The three points will go to the story that got the lowest. These are Really Bad End and Bait & Switch, and RBE hasn't won a vote yet, so ... yeah. It thanks you.

    Please correct this in future.

    Thank you.

    On to the main event.


    Note that any BBcode at all around the vote will invalidate it. This includes quoting a previous vote, and applying font changes.

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

    Next up will be Wyvern, then most likely Security!. After that ... who knows. Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

    And it's Wyvern, first past the thousand-mark post. Woo!

    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. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot 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.

    Vote format looks like this:

    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
    [X] I, Panacea - 5
    [X] Security! - 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.
