General news update:
Recoil, being next up, will be posted on Tuesday (I can only collaborate with my beta on my days off, and I'm working through Monday).
However, due to discussions with my beta on Slippery Slope, I now have a much firmer idea on how to proceed and I have chapters 9 and 10 both partially written. So I might yet be writing that alongside my regularly voted stories, and bringing it to a close in maybe 15 chapters overall.
Assuming nothing untoward happens, of course.

[] Price of Blood - 9
[] One Bad Day - 8
[] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero - 7

[] Alea Iacta Est - 0
[] I, Panacea - 0
[] MirrorVerse - 0
[] Trump Card - 0 (and for the record, yes, I'm Russian)
[] Wyvern - 0

Not particularly interested in most of the rest, sorry - Recoil and Slippery Slope especially.
(For most of the others I just don't recall what they're about. What were Nemesis and Hostage Situation about again?)

As expected, Junior Hero was demoted. And no, I don't want War Games to disappear, either (so I moved it up the list, just in case).

In other words, most likely, both Recoil and Slippery Slope are soon to go off the voting list due to ending, very possibly to be replaced by stories that I actually like.

Wow. I didn't expect to be that lucky.

Slippery Slope will be ending relatively shortly, yes.

Recoil has a great many chapters to go. After all, she's only up to 1994. :p
 
Since I don't read Slippery Slope, I'm rather pleased that it's ending (not a matter of writing quality, from what I recall, just not to my taste). More chances that the ones I like will be updated.
 
Vote 115: Alea Iacta Est
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1609

    Announcements
    Throne3d 's vote counting system is awesome.

    I will continue to trim stories off the list. Whichever story has the lowest number of vote points this round will be dropped off the list. Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories 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.

    The drop for this vote will be ... (drumroll) ... Nemesis. It got 54 vote points (11 less than All Alone), for a running total of 161 points. It gets to keep this total for when it re-enters voting. But for now, it's out.

    Current list of stories that have been put on the inactive list, and their vote totals:
    Really Bad End 185
    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161

    User Errors:
    Visual Pun - Votes are not being accepted for Junior Hero. Sorry.
    Fishyface - You voted twice. I have nullified the first vote.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 0 (1454)
    All Alone 1230
    Confrontation II 1057
    Danny & Taylor 692
    Hostage Situation 660
    I, Panacea 959
    Meet the Heberts 914
    NSW 1375
    One More Trigger 729
    Recoil 187
    Slippery Slope 160
    Trump Card 588
    War Games 654
    Wyvern 622

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

    And that's Recoil up, and Junior Hero dropped from the voting. That makes 15 stories in the voting list. I think I'll drop one more again, to bring it down to 13. I won't add any more until I've completed a few, though I might be posting Slippery Slope alongside the regular chapters.

    then NSW at a rough guess. Then after that, maybe All Alone.

    Meanwhile, All Alone nearly got dropped from the running altogether. It'll be interesting to see if Danny & Taylor gets dropped next vote, or All Alone.

    If All Alone gets the flick, then Confrontation II will step up into the front line.


    Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

    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) If you vote for a story that is not on the voting list, those point(s) will go to the story that got the least number of vote points that round.
    6) [current situation] I will be pruning the list.
    6a) Each voting round, I will be dropping the story that has garnered the fewest vote points for that round.
    6b) That story will be removed from the voting list but not abandoned; it will keep its current total of vote points.
    6c) Voting for stories that are not on the voting list will not increase their vote point totals. Those votes will instead be lost.
    6d) If a story reaches the top of the list with the least amount of vote points for that round, I will update it then remove it from the list.
    6e) When I have a) pruned the list to an acceptable size, and b) finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.
