Thanks, as always, for voting.
A few notes:
1kal spelt Iacta with an L instead of an i. Please correct this. It makes my job harder
moontheir4 and
Suzushiro Aoi both voted for
Confrontation, despite the fact that it was taken out of the running. The five points from that will be given to the story earning the lowest points this voting round, which happens to be
Really Bad End. It thanks you
Please check your votes, especially if you are copy pasting each time. If there is an extra space or an omitted space between the name, hyphen and number, this causes the vote counter to register it as a different name.

Secondary Vote Result
Given that
Confrontation finished last vote round, I instituted another secondary vote for a new story to enter the lineup.
Nemesis came in last again, with 4 votes. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
Slippery Slope came in second with 10 votes. Getting closer ...
And for the winner, we have
All Alone, with 22 votes. It will be getting this many points as a kicker to start with.
And now on to the main event ...
Note that any BBcode at all around the vote will invalidate it. This includes quoting a previous vote, and applying font changes.
Alea Iacta Est 98
All Alone 22
All Unaware 544
Bait & Switch 67
Danny & Taylor 596
I, Panacea 318
Junior Hero 327
MirrorVerse 442
NSW 0 (651)
One More Trigger 222
Really Bad End 357
Recoil 403
Security! 378
Trump Card 248
War Games 246
[If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]
Looks like Confrontation might be next, actually. Wouldn't be surprised if it made 600 on the next vote.
Which it did. Also in the 600s is
NSW. Following that, in no particular order, are
All Unaware and
Danny & Taylor in the 500s.
Danny & Taylor looks like the odds-on favourite for the next round, followed almost certainly by
All Unaware. However, after that,
Recoil is coming up fast, and our other two traditional big scorers,
Trump Card and
I, Panacea are also piling on the points. The new dark horse that's just joined,
Alea Iacta Est (remember, folks, that's an i not an L), has just slammed on a massive 72 point score for its first voting round. If that isn't a sign of big things to come, I don't know what is. Of course,
All Alone has just joined the roundup as well, so we have yet to see how that goes.
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 five 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 five points, second is worth four, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot 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.
Vote format looks like this:
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 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.
