    GGWeGot2Much, your vote has to be formatted like this:
    [Y] Story Name - points
    [Y] Recoil - 6

    I don't think it will be counted the way you have it.

    I did check the actual alerts page if that is what you meant, same situation there. I know on SV/SB the alerts popup pulldown menu wouldn't have the same info as the page(s) would.

    Thanks though!

    If it's not up on the list of stories being voted on, then no.

    (In this case: nope.)

    In other news, the latest Slippery Slope is up. Still working on Wyvern. Expect it by Saturday.

    Voting will continue.

    Apparently the voting is still open (even though it's probably already Sunday wherever Ack is).
    So might as well vote (forgot to do it earlier).

    As usual, heavily based on my previous vote...

    [] I'm Halping - 14
    [] The Great Tattletale Caper - 13
    [] Entanglement - 12
    [] It Gets Worse - 11
    [] Price of Blood - 10
    [] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 9
    [] One Bad Day - 8
    [] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero - 7
    [X] One More Trigger - 6
    [X] War Games - 5
    [X] Wyvern - 4
    [X] All Alone - 3 (traded with Anaja for One More Trigger)
    [X] Danny & Taylor - 2
    [X] Confrontation II - 1
    [] Alea Iacta Est - 0
    [] Hostage Situation - 0
    [] I, Panacea - 0
    [] MirrorVerse - 0
    [] Trump Card - 0 (and for the record, yes, I'm Russian)

    Not particularly interested in most of the rest, sorry - Recoil especially.
    (For most* of the others I just don't recall what they're about. What were NSW and Meet the Heberts about again?)

    Switched Confrontation II and Alea Iacta Est for the moment. Will rethink once I get anywhere near properly caught up (right now I hadn't read the last chapter of either).


    *) okay, both - apparently there's so few remaining stories that I ended up mentioning every single one in my post

    NSW - powers are stronger the less clothing you have on leading to a rise in hedonism.
    Meet the Heberts - Taylor's parents were cape groupies who hosted cape sex parties and had sex with all the capes.

    I wish to apologise. Due to work and a bit of writer's block, I have not yet finished the latest chapter of Wyvern. I should have it done Sunday night/Monday morning.

    Voting will continue until then.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1410

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories that have been taken off the list 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.

    Really Bad End 185
    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    Slippery Slope 221

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    Another Way [0] (Marquis beat shit out of BBB, then spent the next eight years in Boston. Now that his daughter has triggered, he's come back. She's having a ball.)
    Conflict [0] (It's 1980. Contessa managed to shank Eden without getting nerfed. Doctor Mother now has Eidolon's powerset, without the insecurity complex. They've got two years to prepare before Scion shows up.)
    Entanglement [0] (Taylor has her bug powers. However, she is now randomly body-swapping with a Taylor from an Earth without super-powers. Both are rather confused.)
    Fuck Worm! [0] {NSFW} (A double SI, where a couple gets dropped into the Wormverse on opposite sides. Only just started.)
    Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
    I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
    It Gets Worse [0] (Taylor has a pre-emptive power designed to rain down havoc on anyone trying to harm her or anyone she cares for. Coincidences get somewhat ridiculous at times.)
    One Bad Day [0] (Sophia murders Grue. Taylor murders Sophia and Madison. Lisa murders her new team leader. Amy mindwipes Vicky. It's one hell of a bad day.)
    Price of Blood [0] (Taylor's power is responsible for hundreds of deaths. Shadow Stalker is now working for Coil. Things are actually looking up.)
    Yet Another Way [0] (A spin-off of Another Way, where Carol killed Amy. The BBB is now out of the picture, and Marquis has managed to adopt the Dallon and Pelham kids.)

    A Friend At Winslow - Non-Taylor-centric, but involving Taylor.
    The Centre Cannot Hold - Taylor gets a really weird power, and makes full use of it. Crack.
    Dinah Alcott, Ruler of the World - Exactly what it says on the tin.
    EverYthiNg YoU kNow iS WroNg - The Birdcage is a luxury resort. Marquis was sandbagging. It's all a LIE, I tell you! Pure crack.
    Force Projection - A sequel to my original fiction Number Two.
    Hostile Takeover - Marquis had a son. He's just come back to Brockton Bay.
    Identity Theft - An international freelancer needs to hide out in Brockton Bay. Guess who she looks like?
    Isel - Prequel to my original fiction King's Man
    Parallel - A time travel story, involving Taylor's son from after Gold Morning.
    Living in Brockton Bay is Suffering - A perfect storm of bad events happens, leaving Tagg in charge of the PRT, based in Brockton Bay.
    Library Blues (working title) - A massive AU where Taylor is an adult, working in the library of Winslow High. Brian is the principal, and Sophia is the head coach.
    Terminal: A cancer sufferer triggers with powers. His life does not improve. News at eleven.


    User Errors:
    Mafketel - You didn't add a value to your vote for Alea Iacta Est. I've fixed that.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 921
    All Alone 241
    Confrontation II 196
    Danny & Taylor 1095
    Hostage Situation 1258
    I, Panacea 712
    Meet the Heberts 1355
    NSW 480
    One More Trigger 1265
    Recoil 0 (1398)
    Trump Card 297
    War Games 1340
    Wyvern 152

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

    Well, that guess turned out okay. As for the next one .. I'm gonna pick War Games over Meet the Heberts. It will all depend on whether people want to read sexy funtimes or sci-fi funtimes.


    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

    Probably, yeah. :(

    Recoil managed to beat Meet the Heberts in Vote 122 with a margin of 43 votes, when I'd previously predicted a margin of only 14. Now War Games has a predicted margin of 11 votes. Unless a lot of people go all-in for MtH I don't see it pulling ahead. At least it's far enough ahead of the next story that it probably won't get pushed back even further.

    Speaking of the next story, Hostage Situation currently has a 14-vote lead over One More Trigger. There's enough time left for a potential upset, but I looked back over previous round predictions and that lead has been steadily eroding. Back after Vote 119 it was 48 votes ahead, but it's dropped by roughly 10 votes each round. At this rate I suspect OMT will beat it to the punch.

    [X] Meet the Heberts - 6

    [X] Danny & Taylor - 4
