Alright, someone very helpfully pointed out an error in my sheet caused by the tie. This has changed my predictions a bit, so here is the new, updated predictions.

Predictions:
Vote 168: One More Trigger by 32 Votes
Vote 169: Meet The Heberts by 22 Votes
Vote 170: I, Panacea by 22 Votes
Vote 171: Recoil by 5 Votes
Vote 172: Confrontation 2 by 15 Votes
Vote 173: Alea Iacta Est by 86 Votes
Vote 174: Wyvern by 56 Votes
Vote 175: War Games by 57 Votes
Vote 176: NSW by 96 Votes
Vote 177: Reality Intrudes by 151 Votes


Meet the Heberts is back, or rather, still at 169

Recoil has jumped from 173 to 171, knocking both Confrontation 2 and Alea Lacta Est down. Everything else remains the same from before the Tie and the error. Huzzah!

Thank You Helpful Anonymous Person, for pointing out that Meet the Heberts shouldn't have lost it's vote count as if it had won.

[}={] It Gets Worse - It can't gets any worse anymore!

Update on Celestial Worm:

New Chapter 26 (Some new material)
New Chapter 27 (A little new material)
New Chapter 28 (A lot of new material)
New Epilogue One (A lot of new material)
New Epilogue Two (All new material)

It is now completely, definitively, finished.

BTW in ffnet I only got email alerts for the new chapters (30,31 ie the epilogues).
You should probably add a AN saying that the previous chapters got edited and that readers should go back to chapter 26 (ie chapter 27 on ffnet since chapter 1 is the prologue)

Thanks, as always, for voting.

Voting points this round: 859

Announcements
Throne3d 's vote counting system is once more working well. Thanks, Throne!

It has come to my attention that I have been slacking off. I'm going to try to speed up my posting of vote stories.

Novel is PUBLISHED. [Welcome to Utopia]

I'm posting it, one chapter per week, in my sig.
Link to get, if interested: https://books2read.com/u/b68xeZ
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=welcome+to+utopia&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

Any votes to any stories not on the list will not be applied to any stories, on or off the list. The stories that have been taken off the list 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.

MirrorVerse 1140
Bait & Switch 1164
Junior Hero 140
Nemesis 161
All Alone 25

Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)
All Alone [0] (Emma dies in the alley, so Taylor makes a new friend. Sophia Hess. But after some very bad decisions. she's all alone again. Or is she?)
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.)
Gravitas [0] (A crossover fanfic with a novel I'm in the process of writing).
I'm HALPING! [0] (Taylor has a new friend. He's a cute teenage boy, who also happens to be an Endbringer. Cue hijinks.)
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.)
Prodigal Daughter [0] {Taylor isn't quite right. But that's okay. She's Jack Slash's daughter. Brockton Bay is in for ... a time.)
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

Living in Brockton Bay is Suffering - A perfect storm of bad events happens, leaving Tagg in charge of the PRT, based in Brockton Bay.

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 384
Confrontation II 486
Danny & Taylor 276
Hostage Situation 79
I, Panacea 518
One More Trigger 0 (649)
Reality Intrudes 576
Recoil 432
War Games 399
Wyvern 232

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

Well, it's One More Trigger (as expected), with Reality Intrudes sneaking up on NSW (just 6 vote points between them) and both of these encroaching on Meet the Heberts. After the smut gets dealt with (not you, Reality), there's I, Panacea and probably Recoil.

Update: NSW and Meet the Heberts have been retired from the running. Sorry.

Check out Sleepyfoo 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) When I have finished a few of the current fics, I will look at bringing stories back on to the list.

[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] War Games - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Hostage Situation - 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.
