On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 176
Collateral Damage 387
Hostage Situation 544
One More Trigger 555
Reality Intrudes 106
Recoil 291
Slippery Slope 209
War Games 176
World War Scion 13
Wyvern 0 (605)

So, I, Panacea is done and dusted, going out with a double-chapter finale. I hope you all enjoyed it. Its replacement, World War Scion, has started out with a modest 13 points, but we shall see how things go after its first chapter post. In today's vote count, Wyvern beat out One More Trigger by just 50 vote points; OMT and Hostage Situation will be duking it out for first place next round (I think OMT has it in the bag, but HS might just surprise us all). After those two, the closest competitor might look like Collateral Damage, but that gets relatively few points so my guess is Recoil.


Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage and Reality Intrudes are based on short, sharp chapters you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time either one comes up, instead of one 7K+ chapter.


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.
