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

Hadn't actually heard that... I guess I should look back to find your new rules and possibly edit my vote... [EDIT: OK, I think that voting period is closed now so I'll consider it in my next vote.] [EDIT 2: OK, looks like I missed a whole month of voting, actually... so I'll do my February vote now with the new stories.]

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.

A Darker Path [Complete] (Taylor has triggered with a shard called Path to Ending. She can kill anyone or anything. Also, she has no more fucks to give. Have a nice day.)
Afraid of the Dark [Under Commission] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
All Alone [Under Commission] (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 [Under Commission] (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.)
First Telkan [On Hiatus] (A crossover with the massively popular Reddit serial First Contact, by Ralts Bloodthorne.)
Gravitas [On Hiatus] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
Yet Another Way [Under Commission] (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

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: None (woo!)

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 248
Collateral Damage 68
Conflict 0
Earning Her Stripes 49
Entanglement 28
Enter the Nemesis 4
Hostage Situation 365
Journey Continues 5
Junior Hero 147
MirrorVerse 20
One More Trigger 0 (598)
Prodigal Daughter 29
Reality Intrudes 418
Recoil 0 (560)
Slippery Slope 320
Snek is a Good Boy 37
War Games 20
World War Scion 161
Wyvern 102


[Links to each of the stories in my sig, or here]

Again, no surprise to anyone, as fan favourites One More Trigger and Recoil jump in to take the top two spots for April. Following this, it looks like Reality Intrudes is a shoo-in, but its running mate is less certain. Quite likely Hostage Situation, though Slippery Slope has been getting some solid support recently. We shall see what we shall see. After that, Alea Iacta Est and World War Scion look like they'll get some love soon. See you next month!

Check out Sleepyfoo (once things settle down) for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage, Earning Her Stripes, Reality Intrudes and Snek is a Good Boy 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.
