PSA: That's Alea Iacta Est (with an 'i'), not Alea Lacta Est (with an 'L').

"The die is milk" would certainly make for a different story.

ed: yeah, not the right part of speech for that, and not the proper conjugation for "the die is lactating", and "the die is cassia" is rather boring.

Just like always I'd like to ask if anyone voting for Alea Iacta Est, Wyvern and One More Trigger would be willing to throw some votes to Danny & Taylor, NSW and Meet the Heberts?

EDIT:
Not actually a fic but I would also vote for this if I could:
[!] Absolute Power - 7

Vote 154: NSW
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 847

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    It has come to my attention that I have been slacking off. I'm going to try to speed up my posting of vote stories.

    Also: Reality Intrudes is the new story. Not Prodigal Daughter. Just saying.


    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.

    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    All Alone 25

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    All Alone [0] (Emma dies in the alley, so Taylor makes a new friend. Sophia Hess. But after some very bad decisions. she's all alone again. Or is she?)
    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.)
    Celestial Worm [0] (Crossover with Ties That Bind, a novel written by my beta reader.)
    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.)
    Gravitas [0] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
    How Taylor Hebert Agreed to be a Slut [0] {NSFW} (This drops Taylor into the Slut Life CYOA.)
    I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
    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.)
    Prodigal Daughter [0] {Taylor isn't quite right. But that's okay. She's Jack Slash's daughter. Brockton Bay is in for ... a time.)
    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 and ShellOG - Your votes for Prodigal Daughter aren't valid, as that story is not on the voting round. I'm presuming you meant Reality Intrudes, as that is the new story, so I applied your votes to that one.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 941
    Confrontation II 547
    Danny & Taylor 884
    Hostage Situation 891
    I, Panacea 102
    Meet the Heberts 157
    NSW 0 (1260)
    One More Trigger 692
    Reality Intrudes 67
    Recoil 910
    War Games 366
    Wyvern 373

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

    And now it's Alea Iacta Est in the lead, but Recoil is gaining fast. It's just pulled ahead of Danny & Taylor and Hostage Situation, which are neck and neck on the straight.
    (It's weird how much like this feels like a horse race).

    Also, give a huge welcome to Reality Intrudes, the new story on the block!

    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) When I have 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] Hostage Situation - 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.

    Predictions:

    Vote 158: Danny & Taylor by 105 Votes

    Vote 164: Alea Iacta Est by 63 Votes

    No Major shake ups showing themselves at this time, though the margins are getting pretty thin in a couple places. I don't have enough data to accurately predict Reality Intrudes at this time, but extrapolating from what I've got suggests 167 at the earliest, so I'm not going to worry about it, as I will have enough data for my model before then.
