Any trade you'd accept to bring Recoil up to a vote value?

You (still) need an opening square bracket here.

Quick reminder that your highest vote slot is still empty, not your lowest. Fixing that up would be equivalent of trading your 1-slot for a Recoil vote, without needing any outside agreement.

Differential of 122 down to 16, by my count. Almost there.

I have a strict formula for how I vote. First I filter the list of stories down to the ones I like, then I rearrange them in ascending order of total points. The one that has the fewest points gets my six-point vote; the one that's closest to the next update (points-wise) gets the null vote. The ones in between get 5-4-3-2-1, in order.
 
Wow, didn't really notice some of the stories were being purged. I guess it's time to start voting again. Just so stories I like don't get axed. BTW, does someone have a list of the stories that were discontinued? I only know of MirrorVerse.

They aren't discontinued. They're just pushed into the pile of stories not on the voting list that Ack will write on when the muse strikes him.

Really Bad End is the other story that got dropped from the voting list due to coming in last at the conclusion of the round before last; in my voting post for the current round, I also worked out the amount of votes each story got in the last round, so everyone can see which stories are in the best shape & which are the most at risk of being dropped from the voting list during this cutdown.

There are a lot of stories that have never been on the voting list. One can hope that some day, when some of the other stories are finished (Ack sometimes seems to prefer to lauinch new stories rather than complete old ones) they will be added to the ballot, but at the moment he's more intent to remove things from the ballot than add them.

I'm actually doing my best to get some of these stories wrapped up so I can add more to the voting round (and finish them as well). Due to it being pointed out that at the current rate I will be about a hundred and three before I finish anything, I'm not posting any more stories atm. Just writing new chapters of current stories.
 
Vote 113: Slippery Slope
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1465

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    I will continue to trim stories off the list. Whichever story has the lowest number of vote points this round will be dropped off the list. Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories will not be abandoned, just put on hiatus until I've actually finished a significant number of stories that are actually still on the list.

    The drop for this vote will be ... (drumroll) ... Bait & Switch. It got 23 vote points (one less than Junior Hero, again), for a running total of 1164. It gets to keep this total for when it re-enters voting. But for now, it's out.

    Current list of stories that have been put on the inactive list:
    Really Bad End
    MirrorVerse
    Bait & Switch

    User Errors:
    None that are significant.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 1211
    All Alone 1094
    Confrontation II 901
    Danny & Taylor 570
    Hostage Situation 502
    I, Panacea 615
    Junior Hero 117
    Meet the Heberts 776
    NSW 1212
    Nemesis 55
    One More Trigger 564
    Recoil 1577
    Slippery Slope 0 (1597)
    Trump Card 290
    War Games 495
    Wyvern 351

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

    And that's Slippery Slope up, and Bait & Switch dropped from the voting.

    I'm guessing Slippery Slope next, then Recoil (unless Recoil slides in first), then maybe Bait & Switch and NSW.

    Recoil nearly pipped Slippery Slope at the post, but it snuck into the top spot. Bait & Switch got knocked out of the running due to a low vote point count, so damn close to the winning line it could taste it (but don't worry; when it gets brought back in, it'll keep its current vote point total). After Recoil, it'll be Alea Iacta Est, then NSW at a rough guess.

    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.
    6) [current situation] I will be pruning the list.
    6a) Each voting round, I will be dropping the story that has garnered the fewest vote points for that round.
    6b) That story will be removed from the voting list but not abandoned; it will keep its current total of vote points.
    6c) Voting for stories that are not on the voting list will not increase their vote point totals. Those votes will instead be lost.
    6d) If a story reaches the top of the list with the least amount of vote points for that round, I will update it then remove it from the list.
    6e) When I have a) pruned the list to an acceptable size, and b) finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.

    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.

    Assuming that I've added everything up correctly, among the remaining stories, the top three performances this last round were I, Panacea with 179 votes, Recoil with 165, and Trump Card with 151, while the bottom three were a tie between All Alone & Nemesis with 55 votes, Danny & Taylor with 51, and Junior Hero by far, with only 24. With the NSFW stories NSW again did the best with 88 votes. The per-story vote totals for this last round are as follows:

    Alea Iacta Est: 112
    All Alone: 55
    Confrontation II: 75
    Danny & Taylor: 51
    Hostage Situation: 85
