Note yet, sorry.

Rewrite happening.

Some people consider Contessa to be a story killer.

It's not that she's a story killer, it's that she's a Chekov's Gun that needs to be loaded, rather than a Deus ex Machina to end a cliffhanger. Introducing her in the same chapter you're using her is the latter, while her having an initial conversation with Janet a few chapters back is the former.

She's annoyingly hard to use. You've used her well before (Security for one), but this time around her arrival was too fast.
 
Annette could hide on the roof and try to shoulder check Max out of the way so she could run down the stairs, causing him to lose his balance, fall down the stairs and break his neck.. or you can just tell them (us) to eat cake, and have Tessa make a deal with them once they have their wits about them (you're the lucky ones, you get an un-asked-for save. for this save, you owe me a favor, which i will collect exactly when i need it. Get your shit together if you don't want me to literally own you)
 
Meh. Contessa is kinda the easy way out but weather your write her in or not, everything that happens is either becauase of her or the smurf.

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    User Errors:
    theprofool - you voted twice. I kept the second vote but deleted the first one.

    mouse - you need to put capital X in the brackets, otherwise it isn't counted. I counted it this time.


    On to the main event.

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

    Okay then. Recoil is up, not much to anyone's surprise. Also in the 1500+ range we have Hostage Situation, One More Trigger, War Games and at just under we have Junior Hero.

    The smart money for next round is on War Games or Hostage Situation, followed by One More Trigger.

    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] 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.

    Uuuum I was under the impression that since you removed the Janet parts to move them to the next chapter you would actually finish said chapter before moving to the next voted series.
    I guess I was wrong.
    Maybe you should mention it on the Alea Iacta Est threads?

    I have a bit more to work on before I post the next bit. I may or may not post it in my own time.
