Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

I thought Ack had enough on his plate and was planning on finishing that.
Please do not keep giving him new plot bunnies?

Eh, who am I kidding - these sound excellent, and Ack usually improves on ideas!


Ack - have you considered writing a fic where Grue gets his bonesaw-enhanced power from the beginning itself? He can have the power of all the parahumans in his darkness, but it's only when he trans up with Skitter can he multitask effectively enough to use them...

Could be interesting.

As usual, heavily based on my previous vote (actually pretty much entirely copying it, since I still couldn't find anything I wanted to change)...

[] I'm Halping - 14
[] The Great Tattletale Caper - 13
[] Entanglement - 12
[] It Gets Worse - 11
[] Price of Blood - 10
[] Are You Afraid of the Dark? - 9
[] One Bad Day - 8
[] Greg Veder, Conquering Hero - 7
[X] One More Trigger - 6
[X] War Games - 5
[X] Confrontation II - 4
[X] All Alone - 3 (traded with Anaja for One More Trigger)
[X] Danny & Taylor - 2
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 1
[] Hostage Situation - 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 especially.
(For most* of the others I just don't recall what they're about. What were NSW and Meet the Heberts about again?)

Incidentally, added the link for The Great Tattletale Caper back again (it's not in any of the lists at the last threadmark, and I wanted to reaffirm that it's an actual fic by Ack that might theoretically continue).


*) okay, both - apparently there's so few remaining stories that I ended up mentioning every single one in my post

I know it's not on the list but is there any chance that "It Gets Worse" gets an update or gets added to the list? I really want to read more of that fic.

It's not on the list right now. I will get back to it at some point.

Eventually.

Okay, now I've posted the latest chapter to Slippery Slope but as I, Panacea has yet to be beta'd, voting will continue until it is.

So no new votes, please.
 
[X] Recoil - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5

Upside to falling off the face of the earth for two, three weeks is lots of Ack stories to read.

The downside is missing all the votes.
 
Vote 119: Confrontation II
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1456

    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.

    Really Bad End 185
    MirrorVerse 1140
    Bait & Switch 1164
    Junior Hero 140
    Nemesis 161
    Slippery Slope 221

    Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
    Another Way [0] (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.)
    Conflict [0] (It's 1980. Contessa managed to shank Eden without getting nerfed. Doctor Mother now has Eidolon's powerset, without the insecurity complex. They've got two years to prepare before Scion shows up.)
    Entanglement [0] (Taylor has her bug powers. However, she is now randomly body-swapping with a Taylor from an Earth without super-powers. Both are rather confused.)
    Fuck Worm! [0] {NSFW} (A double SI, where a couple gets dropped into the Wormverse on opposite sides. Only just started.)
    Greg Veder, Conquering Hero [0] {NSFW} (Greg actually gets to be the hero and get the girl. Will be short.)
    I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
    It Gets Worse [0] (Taylor has a pre-emptive power designed to rain down havoc on anyone trying to harm her or anyone she cares for. Coincidences get somewhat ridiculous at times.)
    One Bad Day [0] (Sophia murders Grue. Taylor murders Sophia and Madison. Lisa murders her new team leader. Amy mindwipes Vicky. It's one hell of a bad day.)
    Price of Blood [0] (Taylor's power is responsible for hundreds of deaths. Shadow Stalker is now working for Coil. Things are actually looking up.)
    Yet Another Way [0] (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
    Parallel - A time travel story, involving Taylor's son from after Gold Morning.
    Living in Brockton Bay is Suffering - A perfect storm of bad events happens, leaving Tagg in charge of the PRT, based in Brockton Bay.
    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:
    Ofunu - Your vote for NSW was not written properly. I put the vote in anyway.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 516
    All Alone 114
    Confrontation II 0 (1385)
    Danny & Taylor 939
    Hostage Situation 1018
    I, Panacea 169
    Meet the Heberts 1173
    NSW 258
    One More Trigger 1030
    Recoil 852
    Trump Card 1194
    War Games 1054
    Wyvern 1205

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

    And that's Confrontation II up, for more about the coming trainwreck between Sophia and Brian.

    That makes 13 stories in the voting list. I think I'll hold it there for the moment. I won't add any more until I've completed a few, though I might will be posting Slippery Slope alongside the regular chapters.

    Next up will be possibly Trump Card and Wyvern before Meet the Heberts, then more stories than I can judge between. Can anyone say 'photo finish'?


    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.
