    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    User Errors
    Thankfully, these are getting much fewer and farther between.

    Alea lacta Est - 1: Fishyface - Iacta is spelled with an upper case i, not a lower case L, thanks.
    MirrorVerse -1: Ragnarok - please insert the space after the hyphen.
    Mirrorverse - 2: Lord Ultimus - the V in MirrorVerse is capitalised, thanks.

    Please correct these in future.

    Thank you.

    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.

    That sounds pretty close. Wyvern is now climbing at damn near 200 votes per round; faster than anything else since Brian & Aisha briefly spiked at 400 votes a round back in June.

    However, Alea Iacta Est is also coming up fast, at about 145 votes per round, while I, Panacea and War Games are only managing about 80 and 35 votes, respectively. If my calculations are correct, we'll get Wyvern winning Vote 61 in the low 700s, Trump Card winning Vote 62 in the mid-700s, and then Alea Iacta Est will scream past I, Panacea and War Games like they're standing still to win Vote 63, possibly surpassing 800 votes in the process.

    Incidentally, my vote tracking spreadsheet has been updated with the results of Vote 60.


    Also:
    Come ON, people, we can do better than this! :p

    ...well, I had thought it was when you announced it would be ending soon and one of the other stories that people were looking forward to would replace it, but it turns out I made a typo. :oops:

    Accidentally recorded its vote total for Vote 39 as 686 instead of 386. The spreadsheet did the math, saw that it "dropped" to 403 in the next round, and assumed it had won the vote one round and then immediately shot back up by 403 votes. Which, looking back at it, would've been flat-out impossible -- it would've taken 80 people all putting it at top rank, and as far as I can tell we've never had that many actively voting at once.

    Sorry; my bad. :oops:


    On the other hand, that means that Wyvern now holds the all-time record for most votes per round: 193 earned in Vote 59.

    Yup. It's doing respectably for the mid-tier of Ack's stories. Higher than some of his less-popular stuff, like the minor NSFW fics, which rarely get out of the teens, but not as high as the really popular ones.
