Thanks, as always, for voting.

And let me issue a huge welcome to our first-time voters.

With people fresh to this particular voting process, and the upheaval we had recently in stories, it's understandable that glitches will creep in. Unfortunately, these do slow down the tallying process.

Trump Card!- 3: Bluesnowman - This story does not have an exclamation mark attached, thanks.
Hostage Situation - 6: Bluesnowman - somehow, there's a space creeping in there. Could you please re-type this when you vote next?
Wyvern- 5: Bluesnowman ... and you need a space here, please.
Alea Iacta Est -3: gustyeagle - needs another space, please
Alea Iacta Est 1: vyor - needs a hyphen, please
Alea lacta Est - 4: Ant-Man - Iacta is an upper case i, not a lower case L, please
All Unaware - 1: Coshiua - This story has ended. I'm going to assume you meant All Alone. It thanks you.
All Unaware - 2: Mrouz - As with Coshiua, I'm going to assume you meant All Alone. It thanks you.
Hostage Situation- 1: Navrin - need another space there, dude.
Meet The Heberts - 5: AntonioCC - vote counter registers 'The' as different from 'the'. Please don't capitalise the 'the'.
MirrorVerse -3: skychan - Yup, missing space.
Trump Card- 6: Sinner_sb kokuenDG - Please put a space in before the hyphen. Thank you.

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.
Click to expand...

With the new influx of voters, the vote points shot up to well over 1200 this time. I can see that happening, easily.

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.
Click to expand...

This time round it was Wyvern, then Alea Iacta Est, then Trump Card, then Recoil. Wyvern got nearly 200 vote points, followed by Alea Iacta Est with 150.

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.
Click to expand...

Recoil came in pretty well. Still looking good.

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. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot 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.

[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2

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.

Wyvern comes in with fine style, but Trump Card is indeed close behind. Also in the 500 range are Alea Iacta Est (second time round since its first official post), I, Panacea, Really Bad End, NSW, and War Games. It's anyone's guess as to which one gets in after Trump Card.

Well, that's Wyvern, with two chapters for the price of one . Trump Card came up as expected. After that ... well, let's have a look at what Jim Starluck had to say:

Jim Starluck said:

Currently Trump Card is in the lead, and looking to gain around 119 votes this round to win the next one in the mid-700s
Click to expand...

.
741 points. Good call.

Jim Starluck said:

But coming up fast is Alea Iacta Est, making 126 votes a round and a shoe-in to win Vote 63. Then we've got I, Panacea chugging along at 84 votes a round to win Vote 64, and newcomer War Games making a respectable 37 votes a round to finally score its first win in Vote 65.

After that, though, up-and-coming crowd favorite Wyvern is climbing back to the top after its first win at a blistering 169 votes a round -- not as fast as its peak of 193, but still faster than anything else has ever managed before. Odds are good it'll break the 800-vote threshold to win Vote 66. Then we have our old friend Recoil cruising along at 108 votes a round, following Wyvern up above the 800 line to win Vote 67.

Things get risque after that, as the long-running smutfic NSW (and if you don't know what that stands for, kids, ask your parents) finally climbs back on top of the pile in Vote 68. From there it looks to be Security! in Vote 69, and then Trump Card stands a good chance of breaking the 900-vote line in Vote 70, while Alea Iacta Est may well be the first to hit 1,000 in Vote 71.

As always, these projections are subject to change as more votes come in and people shift their voting patterns. The further out you look the less accurate it's likely to be.

AIE blazed in to take the very first 800 point vote by storm; there's nothing else in the 700 point range, but NSW and War Games are in the high 600 range, so it'll be a toss-up between them for the next spot. Following that, Recoil might just make an appearance, if Wyvern doesn't do it first.

I can still see Wyvern giving Recoil a hard time on the next voting round. But Security! is well ahead of All Alone, so that won't be a contest.

Wow, was that a close finish. But even with the adjusted Wyvern vote, Recoil still beat it by 1 point.

Next up will be Wyvern, then most likely Security!. After that ... who knows. Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet 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. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot 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.

All Alone came in a winner this time around, not very much to anyone's surprise. Trump Card looks to be the favourite for the next round. An interesting note; of all the stories, it never got one '6' vote, and still came in with 101 points this round.

After that, we have Alea Iacta Est as a possible.

Wyvern will be next up, though.

It certainly was, even though it's falling back through the listings. Three stories beat it in vote points, but it still managed to crack 1200 for the first time.

Just eyeballing it, next up is likely to be One More Trigger, then we have what looks like Slippery Slope after that, then probably Hostage Situation. Really Bad End will want a go on, but one of the other front runners might push it back a bit before it gets to the front.

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.

One More Trigger it is. After that, it seems to be Slippery Slope, then Hostage Situation still holding firm. Following that, it's anyone's game, as the big names are coming up fast.

Okay, that was a close one. Alea Iacta Est slid into home just one point ahead of Trump Card, with War Games trailing by 27 points, and Really Bad End the only other story in four digits at 1005. However, I suspect that before RBE gets a look in, we'll see I, Panacea and Security! in no particular order. Recoil and Wyvern might even push their way in line first as well, the rude buggers

Trump Card gets its turn this round; you get to see the climactic fight between Hax, mistress of powers, and Lung, master of escalation. And next round, it's almost certain to be the next installment of War Games, featuring Geneva Hastings and her Polity crew, fresh to Brockton Bay and Earth Bet, five hundred years and a few universes out of sync. Following that, I see Security! as having a good chance, perhaps followed by I, Pancea and MirrorVerse and maybe NSW before Really Bad End gets a go on.

Anyway, time will tell. Thanks for reading.

The new vote counting system is awesome. That is all.

User Errors
WickedTruth - It Gets Worse is not a valid voting choice. So the 6 points you put toward it has gone toward the lowest-earning option, which in this case is Junior Hero. It thanks you
On to the main event.

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

So it's MirrorVerse this time around, with fan favourite Wyvern hot on its heels. Really Bad End is numerically the next in line, but with both Junior Hero and Danny & Taylor in the 900s, anything can happen.

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.

And Wyvern wins again. Really Bad End can see the finishing post, but NSW is coming up fast and will almost certainly pass it on the inside. Better luck next turn.

After RBE has its turn, however, things will be looking interesting. We have no less than four stories in the 900 range. Granted, some of them are slow starters, but some are not.

Time will tell.
