Thanks, as always, for voting.
Note that any BBcode at all around the vote will invalidate it. This includes quoting a previous vote, and applying font changes.

mistfist seemed to think that
Aftermath was continuing. I have applied those points to the lowest scoring story for this round, which happens to be
Bait & Switch. It thanks you.
thyrfa and
JMHthe3rd wrote in
Confrontation as
Complications. This is not the first time this has happened. Please get it right.
B.B. Rain neglected to add voting points for
I, Panacea, so I had to go and look at the vote. I fixed it. This time

Also, screwed up vote for War Games. (bracket the wrong way around)
thyrfa inadvertently voted twice. This nullifies the first vote. Pretty sure you didn't want that.
New Story
Now that
Aftermath has been completed, another story will be taking its place. The votes were:
All Alone: 14
Nemesis: 4
Slippery Slope: 4
War Games: 14
Which led to a sort of dilemma. I have resolved it by picking the earlier of the two stories;
War Games was posted on June 6, as opposed to June 14 for
All Alone.
However, a closer examination (and a manual count) has also revealed that there were
fifteen votes for
War Games, which makes it the democratic choice. Woo.
And so, without further ado, let's welcome
War Games to the official story lineup. (And as a bonus, it gets 14 votes to start it off with).
All Unaware 404
Bait & Switch 8
Brian & Aisha 465
Confrontation 203
Danny & Taylor 432
I, Panacea 385
Junior Hero 236
MirrorVerse 299
NSW 348
One More Trigger 0 (553)
Really Bad End 274
Recoil 369
Security! 429
Trump Card 204
War Games 14
[If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]
Following those two favourites, it looks like Brian & Aisha (the last chapter), and by that time,Recoil or maybe Security! may be in the running again.
Danny & Taylor has hit the 400s, but then, so has
Security!, and
I, Panacea isn't far behind, and nor is
Recoil.
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.
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.
