Hey, welcome to the voting thread! Good to see another face.

However, there are several problems with what you've done. (Sorry!)

Here is the format:

[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] World War Scion - 5
[X] War Games - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Hostage Situation - 2
[X] Reality Intrudes - 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 (me).

Second, the fics you picked are not on the voting round.

These are the current vote fics:

Alea Iacta Est
Collateral Damage
Hostage Situation
One More Trigger
Reality Intrudes
Recoil
Slippery Slope
War Games
World War Scion
Wyvern

(Of the ones you picked: A Darker Path is the one I'm just writing because I can, and the others are being commissioned by other readers. Sorry; commission slots are all taken.)

Once again, welcome to the voting round.

A Darker Path [0] (Taylor has triggered with a shard called Path to Ending. She can kill anyone or anything. Also, she has no more fucks to give. Have a nice day.)
Afraid of the Dark [0] (Danny is an expy of John Wick. Taylor just went through the Locker. Be very afraid.)

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.)

Spoiler: Still in Development

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.

User Errors:
None (woo!)

On to the main event.

Alea Iacta Est 237
Collateral Damage 422
Hostage Situation 584
One More Trigger 0 (599)
Reality Intrudes 157
Recoil 361
Slippery Slope 238
War Games 200
World War Scion 21
Wyvern 70

Well, I was right about One More Trigger beating Hostage Situation for top spot, but there was only 15 points in it.
No prizes for guessing which one will win out on the next vote count.
After that ... well, Collateral Damage has an impressive lead, but Recoil is a perennial favourite, and I can see it catching up.


Check out Sleepyfoo for a reasonable prediction.

Note: As Collateral Damage and Reality Intrudes are based on short, sharp chapters you'll be getting two 3-4K chapters each time either one comes up, instead of one 7K+ chapter.


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.
