    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.

    User Errors:
    cl20 - you didn't have a 3-vote, so I elevated your first 2-vote to a 3.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 406
    Collateral Damage 0 (494)
    Hostage Situation 62
    One More Trigger 126
    Reality Intrudes 303
    Recoil 86
    Slippery Slope 345
    War Games 293
    World War Scion 54
    Wyvern 246

    Collateral Damage takes first place as predicted, with Alea Iacta Est, Slippery Slope and Reality Intrudes vying for the next spot.


    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.

    Predictions:
    Vote 220: Alea Iacta Est by 87 Votes
    Vote 221: Slippery Slope by 4 Votes
    Vote 222: Wyvern by 8 Votes
    Vote 223: Reality Intrudes by 90 Votes
    Vote 224: Recoil by 1 Votes
    Vote 225: War Games by 116 Votes
    Vote 226: One More Trigger by 58 Votes
    Vote 227: Alea Iacta Est by 48 Votes
    Vote 228: Wyvern by 62 Votes
    Vote 229: Hostage Situation by 50 Votes

    Slippery Slope has jumped from 223 to 221, and Wyvern has slipped ahead of Reality intrudes to hold on to 222. War Games and Recoil Tied for 224, so I gave Recoil the win by virtue of having that spot last time.
