Can I just ask why a bunch of people keep liking my 'Voting List'?

Didn't really think it was anything special, and I'm curious why people are liking it...

I haven't Liked yours, but my strategy is to Like anyone who puts Slippery Slope in their top 3. C'mon, people, we can't just leave it at the cliffhanger of Nazi Taylor getting punched in the face by an angry ex!

DAMN IT ACK. STOP IT.

On one hand, I want you to focus on your existing stories.

On the other hand, every time you start a new story, it's fantastic.

On another hand, I personally don't really enjoy all of your OC stories.

On a only-related-to-the-last-hand hand, that's probably because most of them aren't very long yet.

On another hand, if I told you to focus on existing stories a while ago and you listened, we wouldn't have Wyvern.

There's a point where you have so many hands that you need to sit back, relax, and read fanfiction. To be precise, Ack fanfiction.

it's such a sweet effort, that i'm not going to ask him to change it to a -6 for MirrorVerse.

If a story isn't on the list yet, votes for it probably won't count.

Welcome!

Two problems with your vote:
1: Another Way is not on the voting list, if your vote remains as it is, the 6 voting points will be applied to whichever story got the least number of votes this round (I'm sure Nemesis will thank you, lol j/k pepperjack).

2: Ack doesn't count the votes himself, he has some software that does it. The software is rather picky. Some examples:
[X] MirrorVerse - 1
[X] Mirrorverse - 1

Click to shrink...
Caps.
[X] Slippery Slope - 6
[x] Slippery Slope - 6
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Capitalized 'X'
[X] Wyvern - 5
[X] Wyvern-5
[X]Wyvern - 5
[X]Wyvern- 5
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Spacing.
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Recoil - 3 (please update this)
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Additional text.

In all these examples, only the top one will be read correctly by Ack's software, the rest will show up in different results sections, and force Ack to manually fix the votes to get an accurate tally. As you can imagine, this cuts into his writing time, so we try to avoid doing this.

Also, ANY BB-code around the vote will make Ack's software ignore it. This means don't use ANY formatting options.

If you have anything to talk about related to the vote, do it after your vote, not as part of the vote.

I feel kind of bad for messing with the vote outcome ordering now.

Say... Ack, have there ever been any tied votes? And what happens in such an occurrence? I need to know for... reasons...

My new story Another Way (which is not in the voting list, sorry) has been revised quite a bit.

Still working on I, Panacea.

Does fanfiction.net take a while to update, or have you just not updated that version yet?

The chapter here doesn't seem to have the second author's note, nor does it seem updated in any other way, is all. I can just read it on Sufficient Velocity, of course, but I was just thinking.
 
Fanfiction.net is down, as far as I can see. The original version is there, but I can't get on to update it.

More precisely, I can't get to the edit screen.

That's really weird - it's working for me currently, and http://isitdown.co.uk/ seems to work fine for it. I suppose that could just be because I'm in the UK? Oh well. The problem at least seems to be closer to your end.

Well, hopefully it'll be back up for you soon anyway! The update was... fun. Nice and... extended. :p

Edit: Oh. That's stupid. I wonder what happened.

Just to prove that I'm a sucker for punishment, here's a spin-off story from Another Way. It's taken from an omake that asks "What if he didn't manage to get in the way?"

Still working on I, Panacea. I promise.
