I'm a little bit disappointed that the previously inactive stories re-entered the voting pool with their vote counts zeroed out. MirrorVerse used to have a total of 1140 :(

Yeah, that would've jumped it straight to the top without even a contest.

Hmm...

Actually, you know what? I'm reinstating those values.

You're aware that Entanglement, Snek is a Good Boy and MirrorVerse are now open for voting, yes?

Ack, I notice that you didn't actually change the rules as you were contemplating. So it's still ok if we submit vote lists with fewer than 6 stories?

The only changes are: a) I've added my on-hiatus stories back into the voting list, and b) I'll be doing the top two instead of the top one every month. That's it. No lower limit on the number of stories to vote for, no changes in how the vote points are counted. This is because I said I wanted input, and I got the input, so I took notice and didn't change that part.

So yes, it's okay if you submit vote lists with fewer than 6 stories.
 
Well alright let's do the new thing

[X] Slippery Slope - 6
[X] Entanglement - 5
[X] Prodigal Daughter - 4
[X] Earning Her Stripes - 3
[X] Snek is a Good Boy - 2

It caused a few formatting issues, which prompted me to fix (some of) the poorly implemented formatting. Also taught me a new (to me) but obvious in hindsight spreadsheet function.

The record section of the sheet and how I measure my accuracy will need a rework that I'm not doing today, though.

I honestly wouldn't trust the next few predictions, due to lack of data and the newly added stories possibly changing everyone's voting habits

[X] Wyvern - 6
[X] Hostage Situation - 5
