Huh. I had no problem at all understanding it.

Story #1: An American was hitting on a woman at a bar and she told him where to go. So he got upset and got into a fight with the other men there, and lost. That's when he told all his friends about it, spreading rumours about the bar so they didn't go there.

Story #2: The person telling the story was on a road trip when his vehicle broke down. He went to a garage but the mechanic was drunk. However, he convinced the guy to look at it while he went to the bathroom. When he got back, the mechanic had the engine fixed, and invited him in for a meal. However, he had to keep moving, so he left.

Not bad, but I was thinking something a bit longer and a bit harder to understand, lol.

Vote 110: Wyvern

    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1464

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    User Errors:
    Powergoat - 'Iacta', as in Alea Iacta Est, is still a capital 'i'; not a lower-case 'L'.
    Finbar and Fishyface - please do not vote a second time before voting has been declared closed. Your first set of votes have been removed. Thank you.
    Also, Another Way is not on the voting roster. The six points that Finbar put toward it is now going toward the story with the lowest received points in this voting round. Really Bad End thanks you.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 885
    All Alone 942
    Bait & Switch 1083
    Confrontation II 684
    Danny & Taylor 447
    Hostage Situation 262
    I, Panacea 134
    Junior Hero 41
    Meet the Heberts 595
    MirrorVerse 1081
    NSW 977
    Nemesis 1505
    One More Trigger 352
    Really Bad End 184
    Recoil 1088
    Slippery Slope 1390
    Trump Card 1403
    War Games 293
    Wyvern 0 (1585)

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

    After this will likely be Wyvern, then Nemesis and either Slippery Slope or Trump Card.

    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.

    [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.

    It has not, sorry.

    Welp, I've finally managed to fight my way past writer's block and several dozen sabre-toothed plot bunnies to bring you the latest chapter of I, Panacea.

    Happy that Wyvern looks likely to win next. Voting for it was the whole reason I joined QQ, and I reread it every now and then so I can lol.
