Indeed, I seek more of your Amnesiac Electrical "Villian" story..... although Bumblebee Nemesis is amazing.....

But where's the Nemesis/Nemesis crossover omake? :p

And going one step farther- where is the Nemesis/Nemesis/Nemesis crossover - with everyone's favorite S.T.A.R.S hunting, T virus abomination? Enquiring minds want to know?

First time voting, so I hope I did it correctly (and that voting is even currently going on. If it is not, please ignore my post)
Really, I enjoy all of your stories and have typically been content to just be happy with whatever comes out. Seeing a notification of any of your fics updating always brightens my day, whichever one it is. Figured it was time to give voting a try.
 
Vote 172: Alea Iacta Est
Thanks, as always, for voting.

Voting points this round: 725

Announcements
Throne3d 's vote counting system is once more working well. Thanks, Throne!

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.

Reminder: I have removed Meet the Heberts and NSW from my vote lineup. Danny & Taylor will be strictly SFW from here on in. Apologies to everyone who was voting just for those.

Novel is PUBLISHED. [Welcome to Utopia]

I'm posting it, one chapter per week, in my sig.
Link to get, if interested: https://books2read.com/u/b68xeZ
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=welcome+to+utopia&ref=nb_sb_noss_2


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

Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
All Alone [25] (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.)
Collateral Damage [0] (Danny is the most dangerous Tinker in the world. Taylor is her father's daughter.)
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.)
Earning Her Stripes [0] (Sophia has gotten three power vials. Emma and Madison took two, and they're aiming to make Taylor into a villain with the third.)
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.)
First Telkan [0] (A crossover with the massively popular Reddit serial First Contact, by Ralts Bloodthorne.)
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).
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.)
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.

User Errors:
january1may - Finding the Way is not in the voting round. I have put your vote toward Danny & Taylor.
Dan Tobias - All Alone and One Bad Day are not in the voting round, and cannot be put toward it. They are under commission.
Shadow Blaze - One Bad Day is not available for inclusion in the voting round.

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 0 (753)

One More Trigger 264
Reality Intrudes 686
Recoil 257
Slippery Slope 225

Out of 23 votes for a new story to be included (once the unavailable ones were weeded out) we have:
Collateral Damage: 5 votes
Conflict: 1 vote
Earning Her Stripes: 5 votes
First Telkan: 3 votes
Junior Hero: 1 vote
MirrorVerse: 1 vote
Prodigal Daughter: 1 vote
The Slippery Slope: 6 votes

So the winner, by a margin of 1, is The Slippery Slope.

As it was previously on the voting round, it comes back in with the points it had when it was taken off.


Check out Sleepyfoo 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) 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] Reality Intrudes - 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.

Thank you.

Voting is OPEN.

(I voted for Finding the Way because that was what the SFW version of Danny & Taylor used to be called, and I probably assumed it would keep the name.)

Still.
