first post of the thread..]
So, after three weeks of grinding away at this, I've finally admitted sort of defeat and posted up a relatively short chapter for
NSW. Really Bad End is next in line, although
Alea Iacta Est made a determined effort to pip it at the post.
Sorry for the time it took and the relative lack of content. Blame my new job, blame Ingress. One or the other, or both. Whee.
Check out
Jim Starluck 's
spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.
Note also that the vote counting script given to me by
Throne3d was of huge assistance.
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.
Vote format looks like this:
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[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.
