    Could always put a more detailed summary under an appropriately labelled spoiler tag, so that only those who want to know more will read it.

    The boys Sophia tried to get to duct tape Taylor to a pole in canon succeed. Then they tried to rape her. She tried to defend herself but was knocked unconscious. Her bugs killed 273 people, including her attackers and Sophia.

    Just checked, Sophia and Emma were plotting to frame Taylor as Swarmbringer, so you're right.

    Hey Ack , just reread Price of Blood, and looking over your story list reminded me of a possible idea that I might have suggested some time ago. It was related to your Another Way stories, but this time instead of Marquis taking the hit like canon, it would have Lady Photon deflect Brandish away from Amelia, possibly with an 'are you stupid' rant about why people should not aim to hit something that a villain is protecting.

    Does this sound like a good idea? Whether as a one-shot or longer story?

    Better idea, Marquis actually dies from the hit and then we don't have to read about those spiffy leather pants anymore (and get an interesting character development for Brandish I suppose) :p

    I do have a story in development where Marquis dies.

    However, other people also die, and it gets ... dark.

    Working title is Living in Brockton Bay is Suffering.

    (Just btw, expect the next chapter of Alea Iacta Est in about 24 hours).

    It's an interesting premise. Like Another Way, in that Marquis gets to raise Amelia.
    Unlike it in that M & A stay in BB, and there's possibly a split in BBB, with either Lady Photon & Manpower or Brandish & Flashbang quitting the team. Because I can't see Brandish letting that go, and the split would go with whoever Lightstar and Fleur sided with.

    Could get messy.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1306

    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.)
    The Rape of Taylor Hebert [0] {NSFW} (Starts dark. Features actual rape. You have been warned. Not at all safe for work, minors or anyone else of a sensitive disposition.)
    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:
    Malcanthet - It's Iacta, not Iecta. I've fixed your vote.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 121
    All Alone 576
    Confrontation II 701
    Danny & Taylor 1455
    Hostage Situation 354
    I, Panacea 351
    Meet the Heberts 234
    NSW 895
    One More Trigger 187
    Recoil 1138
    Trump Card 0 (1497)
    War Games 487
    Wyvern 1120

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

    Well, it's Trump Card, then (unless something does a really major effort of catching up) Danny & Taylor. After that, it looks like Recoil and Wyvern.

    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:

    Thank you.

    It already was Trump Card, silly. :p

    Also, you need to threadmark this vote.

    Current projections:
    Vote 130: Danny & Taylor by 200+ votes
    Vote 131: Recoil by 70+ votes
    Vote 132: Wyvern by 380+ votes
    Vote 133: ERROR CANNOT COMPUTE

    That large standing vote total for Bait & Switch is really throwing things off. -_-

    Okay, just for information's sake:
    My next chapter will be Slippery Slope.
    Following that, I've been told that one of my August commissions will be Price of Blood, while the other may well be It Gets Worse.
    If they turn out to be something else, then I'll write those instead.
    Following that, I'll be writing Trump Card.

    Ack Remind me to pitch you the old notes for Harem Protagonist Marquis. It's right up your alley and would be a great way to troll the SBers who think (mostly from Another Way and Hostage Situation) that you whitewash him too hard.
