    And the winner is ...

    Okay, guys, we had two votes for The Slippery Slope, despite my asking people not to do this.

    Votes for something not on the list will not make me write it any faster. What I'm going to do is apply those two votes (comprising 7 vote points) to the voting choice that has the lowest total on the list, after votes have been counted. This will be I, Panacea.

    I appreciate all the votes, but it would be nice if you could vote for something on the list. Thanks.

    Climbing back into the 500+ vote point counts.

    Junior Hero looks set to be up next, and Trump Card is coming on strong. After that ... well Bait & Switch is the only one in the 300 range after that.

    Thanks for the great voter turnout.

    cp252 - due to the fact that you had formatting on your vote, none of your votes made it through. However, I was ready for this, and entered them manually. Next time, when you cast a vote, look at the BBcode and remove all formatting on your vote, including fonts. Otherwise, it just might not make it through.

    It is indeed Junior Hero, followed by Trump Card, then what looks to be either Aftermath or possibly NSW. Bait & Switch is in the 300 range too, but given that Aftermath just caught up with it, and NSW is getting more than either one, it will probably be NSW, Aftermath, then Security!, then maybe Bait & Switch.

    cp252 , your votes were counted, but your I, Panacea vote has an extra space between the name and the dash, which makes it get counted separately. defuse00 , you have no space before the dash. Would it be possible to fix these?

    Saphrae , sorry, still not taking votes for The Slippery Slope. Soon, though.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Well, that was Aftermath, and now it's NSW, with Security! coming up fast, and Bait & Switch the favourite after that.

    .In other news: the next chapter for Aftermath will be its last. I will be finishing that story, and bringing in The Slippery Slope, just as I intend to bring in Nemesis to replace Brian & Aisha after that story's next (and final) chapter.

    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

    ... or I, Panacea might just edge it out, depending on how much each of them gets.

    After that, Recoil has just hit the 300s, with Confrontation and One More Trigger looking good for a follow-up. Then maybe - just maybe - Trump Card comes around again.

    Which it did.

    Looking good to edge out Bait & Switch and Confrontation next round, given that it's now in the four hundreds.

    I'm thinking after Confrontation, it'll be Trump Card then One More Trigger.

    ... blasting through into the five hundreds ...

    I'm thinking after Confrontation, it'll be Trump Card then One More Trigger.

    With Confrontation just tipped into the 500s, it's good for the next one, unless Bait & Switch manages to edge it out. After that ... Trump Card is rapidly working its way up the ranks, followed by One More Trigger.

    Well, Trump Card managed to edge out Bait & Switch, not to anyone's surprise. After this one, it'll probably be Bait & Switch, unless Brian & Aisha steps up. And then there's One More Trigger, and then maybe Aftermath.

    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.

    User errors:
    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 :p
    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).

    Yeah, that happened. Security! blasted on past Brian & Aisha like it was standing still.

    I'm looking forward to a photo finish next vote between I, Panacea and Recoil; after the dust settles on that one, we'll probably have Trump Card, Brian & Aisha and Danny & Taylor and All Unaware.

    Once Brian & Aisha is out of the way (last chapter, remember), I'll be getting you to vote in a new story.


    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

    Photo finish was had, with just sixteen points between them.

    Next up will almost certainly be I, Panacea, followed by Trump Card, then Danny & Taylor and Brian & Aisha. After that, the voting will be on for the next story to replace B&A, and maybe NSW and All Unaware will be up by then.

    I, Panacea it is, and although Brian & Aisha is ahead on points, I suspect that Trump Card will power past both it and Danny & Taylor to win the next vote.

    After that ... well, All Unaware is coming up the rankings, as is NSW, and Confrontation just hit the four hundreds.

    Interestingly enough, Bait & Switch, which has been lagging, got a big fat zero for votes this time round. I'm wondering if the voters were looking for more NSFW action and feel a bit disappointed.

    ... which it did, in fine style.

    So I'm picking Brian & Aisha for its last chapter, then NSW, then Danny & Taylor. After that, All Unaware and Confrontation (also on its last chapter) are powering up the stakes.

    Following that, or even interrupting the sequence in some way, we might get Recoil.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Story Ending
    Brian & Aisha is on its last chapter, and as such, has been removed from the voting. It's been a totally non-serious NSFW piece, utterly without reference to continuity or any real effort toward characterisation, and I've had fun writing it. However, it's also utterly devoid of plot, and so it's reached the end of its run.

    New Story
    As such, I will be offering new stories for voting into the running. Note that in the case of a tie, the story with the earlier original posting date will win.
    See below for details.

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

    All Unaware 504
    Bait & Switch 45
    Confrontation 571
    Danny & Taylor 554
    I, Panacea 138
    Junior Hero 303
    MirrorVerse 392
    NSW 565
    One More Trigger 132
    Really Bad End 332
    Recoil 230
    Security! 227
    Trump Card 76
    War Games 183

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


    Looks like Confrontation might be next, actually. Wouldn't be surprised if it made 600 on the next vote.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Bb103 – you're welcome.
    Bloodshifter – you do realise that Brian & Aisha is finished, right? I'm putting your 2 vote points toward the story that got the lowest vote points this round (ie, Really Bad End). It thanks you.

    Secondary Vote Result
    Given that Brian & Aisha finished last vote round, I instituted a secondary vote for a new story to enter the lineup.
    Nemesis was at the back of the queue, with 3 votes, All Alone and The Slippery Slope next last with 6 and 7 votes respectively, leaving Alea Iacta Est as the winner with 26 votes (which it will get as a 'kicker' for this voting round).
    Just incidentally, "Iacta" in Alea Iacta Est starts with an upper case 'i', not a lower case 'L'.
    Pyro Hawk , Chojomeka , Feiron , Rentoba , Frosty Wolf , doomlord9 , Prince Charon please take note.

    Story Ending
    Confrontation will also be ending on this vote round. Thus, it has been taken out of the running (it got 659 vote points).

    New Story
    To replace it, I will be holding another Secondary Vote. Details below.

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

    Alea Iacta Est 26
    All Unaware 526
    Bait & Switch 56
    Danny & Taylor 582
    I, Panacea 227
    Junior Hero 315
    MirrorVerse 417
    NSW 610
    One More Trigger 171
    Really Bad End 344
    Recoil 318
    Security! 306
    Trump Card 158
    War Games 207

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

    Which it did. Also in the 600s is NSW. Following that, in no particular order, are All Unaware and Danny & Taylor in the 500s.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    A few notes:
    1kal spelt Iacta with an L instead of an i. Please correct this. It makes my job harder :p
    moontheir4 and Suzushiro Aoi both voted for Confrontation, despite the fact that it was taken out of the running. The five points from that will be given to the story earning the lowest points this voting round, which happens to be Really Bad End. It thanks you :D

    Please check your votes, especially if you are copy pasting each time. If there is an extra space or an omitted space between the name, hyphen and number, this causes the vote counter to register it as a different name. fishbait08 edale Asheram Firedon Chase92 ArbaletShot inky please take note. :)

    Secondary Vote Result
    Given that Confrontation finished last vote round, I instituted another secondary vote for a new story to enter the lineup.
    Nemesis came in last again, with 4 votes. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
    Slippery Slope came in second with 10 votes. Getting closer ...
    And for the winner, we have All Alone, with 22 votes. It will be getting this many points as a kicker to start with.

    And now on to the main event ...


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

    Alea Iacta Est 98
    All Alone 22

    Which it did. Also in the 600s is NSW. Following that, in no particular order, are All Unaware and Danny & Taylor in the 500s.

    Danny & Taylor looks like the odds-on favourite for the next round, followed almost certainly by All Unaware. However, after that, Recoil is coming up fast, and our other two traditional big scorers, Trump Card and I, Panacea are also piling on the points. The new dark horse that's just joined, Alea Iacta Est (remember, folks, that's an i not an L), has just slammed on a massive 72 point score for its first voting round. If that isn't a sign of big things to come, I don't know what is. Of course, All Alone has just joined the roundup as well, so we have yet to see how that goes.


    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

    It even made the 600s.

    Looks like it.

    Let's not forget MirrorVerse, which is now in the 400s.

    And 83 this time around.

    Not as popular as Alea Iacta Est, but not bad.

    So fast that it overtook All Unaware, despite being 75 behind on last vote.


    High 400s.

    99 this time.

    I'm calling All Unaware, then Security!, then Trump Card and I, Panacea in no particular order.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    A bit of a low-end turnout, with marginally under 600 vote points, but that's kinda my fault for posting so quickly :p

    Anyway, votes is votes, so I'm not complaining.

    However, people are starting to get sloppy with their votes. Each time you do this, it makes it harder on me.

    So please:
    Suzushiro Aoi - put a space between your All Alone vote and the hyphen before the number, if it's not too much trouble.
    fishbait08 - do the same with your Security! vote, please.
    ioigtam - please add an exclamation mark to your Security! vote, and use capitals on One More Trigger.

    Thank you.

    Well, All Unaware made it in this time, though Security! and I, Panacea were close behind.

    I don't trust I, Panacea not to sneak in before Security!. Just saying.

    Well, that happened.

    I really can't call it between Security! and Trump Card for the next vote; it's just too close. And I would be astonished if one or both didn't hit the 700 range before they're done.

    After that ... well, Alea Iacta Est is burning up the charts, Really Bad End has crept into the 400s, and Recoil might be along soon again as well.

    I honestly thought that Security! had it with 699, then Trump Card came in with 710 ... whew. Talk about your photo finishes.

    Well, Alea Iacta Est will be entering the 600 range next vote, if its current showing is any indication. And given that there's nothing to challenge it, after Security! has had its shot, it'll very likely be next.

    After that ... MirrorVerse, then maybe One More Trigger, then probably Recoil.

    Alea lacta Est - 4: Mrouz (i not L please)
    Aerialatom - something you're doing with your NSW vote is putting an extra space in there. Not sure what.

    Thank you.

    New Stories Up For Voting
    I have decided to throw my remaining stories into the vote.
    At the same time, I will be pulling All Unaware, and finishing it during the next vote period.
    That will leave, to my count, 20 stories. All of these will be up for voting; I will add a sixth vote to the count so that people can have a better chance of voting for what they want.

    I hope this meets with everyone's approval.

    On to the main event.


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

    Alea Iacta Est 0 (702)
    All Alone 236
    Bait & Switch 187
    Confrontation II 0
    Danny & Taylor 97
    Hostage Situation 0
    I, Panacea 202
    Junior Hero 385
    Meet the Heberts 0
    MirrorVerse 578
    Nemesis 0
    NSW 336
    One More Trigger 537
    Really Bad End 453
    Recoil 461
    Security! 47
    Slippery Slope 0
    Trump Card 159
    War Games 439
    Wyvern 0

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

    Alea Iacta Est has hit the front running remarkably quickly for its relatively recent inclusion; it's also been just the third story to break 700 vote points.

    Recoil seems to be coming along strongly.

    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

    With six new stories in the voting round, and one removed, it's kind of expected to have a few glitches. Five people, for instance, voted for All Unaware, even though it's not listed any more. Four changed their votes. One didn't. And, of course, other things happened. So here they are.

    ArbaletShot had some sort of glitch happen where a space crept into the vote for Alea Iacta Est. Not sure how that happened.
    All Unaware - 5: Snake/Eater (not in the lineup any more. The points will go toward the story with the least vote points gained this round, which happens to be Hostage Situation. It thanks you. :))
    Danny and Taylor - 2: Seed00 (please use an ampersand [&] rather than 'and'. It helps with the tally).
    NSWI - 1: Chojomeka (not even sure how this happened)

    Please correct these in future.

    Thank you.

    Well, that was interesting. First run of the new lineup; with the 6-point vote added in, we got 987 vote points. Would not surprise me if we have stories tipping a thousand vote points at some time or another.

    Wyvern got the most votes of all, followed by Recoil, Alea Iacta Est and Trump Card. The next most popular new fic seemed to be Meet the Heberts, interestingly enough.

    As for what's coming next, I would tip Recoil over One More Trigger, both of which are liable to tip 600 next vote. After that ... well, War Games is likely to tip 500 next vote, so it will likely come in after both of those are done.

    Following that, we shall see what we shall see.


    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.
