Story: Love Normal: Madhouse!

Here is this week's vote winner. Enjoy! Continues from here.

Rule Change Discussion

In the comments for this week's voting thread, certain issues came to light. It is my general policy NOT to implement rule changes until the week following, to permit those interested to discuss the pros and cons. To that end, please vote as you usually would. The thread is not closed until this issue is resolved.

Let's address these two issues in the comments section here, and leave the voting thread for votes instead.

1: Multiple votes for the same thread.

The reason I established the rules they way they were was for the explicit purpose of promoting variety in updated threads. It seems to me that permitting each participant the opportunity to cast multiple votes on the same thread in the same week is likely to work around that.

If people would prefer to vote for the same thread multiple times, then I would have to insist upon a further rule alteration: Namely, that I do not merely work on the winner and work on second and third position as well. I feel that this approach might help ensure that there is some semblance of variety in the voting, but only if the new rules are adopted.

At the moment I am not convinced this will be necessary. I do not think permitting a participant to use all five votes for the same thread is productive to this blog. If you have any strong feelings one way or the other, please let me know in the comments here.

2:  Changes to updated thread votes.

I suggested an alteration to the way threads updated by others acquire points, based on Sirroco asking about it. In detail:

All updates receive one vote, unless it is a string of fatesplits, in which case it is but a single vote for all put together. Tiebreaker points are handed out as follows:

0: Fatesplit. Episode contains nothing but options
1: Poorly written, or contains less than a hundred words.
2: Within a thousand words, good writing quality.
3: Between a thousand and two thousand words, good writing quality.
4: Over two thousand words, good writing quality.


Does anyone have any feelings on this issue? Better rules for establishing the distribution of tiebreaker points? Please suggest them here.

Story: Just a Kiss(NGE)

I had some minor trouble picking a direction for this one, but I think the options should cover the major places this could go. Hope you enjoy it!

Story: Sleeping With the Enemy

So, I decided to push this forward on my schedule a little bit. Knock out a first episode today, see what people think of it.

Discussion: Love Normal

This is the first time any Love Hina work will be dealt with on this blog. Given my future plans, it will certainly not be the last.

Thread Voting: Open Until Nov 4th

This week's thread is now open for votes. Nothing else to say this week, save happy Halloween.
EDIT: I have been asked if it would be possible to use two votes for the same thread. While I do not intend to allow this this week, I would like to put the option on the table. Does anyone else have a problem with this?

Please comment on the issue if you have strong feelings either way.

This thread is now closed for votes. Thanks for participating!

Story: Cocknosis Geass: Eruption

I wasn't entirely satisfied with what I had written, so here's a little more!

Story: Cocknosis Geass: Bathtime Fun

Here is this week's winner for the voting! I'm not sure how best to treat the link to the document. Stick it in the episode itself, or put it in a comment so anyone can see? Maybe even put descriptions of those techniques into the comments?

The reason I divided it here was because - as you may be able to tell - I could not work out which would suit my purposes better. Still. Enjoy!

Story: Milly Gets a Geass

Here is another Code Geass story start, and once again Lelouch is nowhere in sight. This changes rather a lot with the last one.

Story: Evangelion Weird Science: Asuka the Lab Rat

I saw this yesterday and decided to write something for it as well. I do have a sort of plan for this one if I continued writing it, but for now I have left it vague in case someone else wanted to use Asuka in some way.

Discussion: Cocknosis Geass

It's time to discuss this week's vote winner! Spoilers follow, as usual.

Story: Cursed Joketsuzoku: This is a Curse?

So, I saw this fatesplit yesterday and decided to do something with it.

Thread Voting: Open Until 28th October

Another week, another round of votes! Remember that you get five each week rather than three now!
THREAD CLOSED, PLEASE SEE NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

Story: St Doria's: The Enigma Club

Here's some St Doria for you to enjoy!

Story: It's Fate: Gossipy Destiny

Here is some more It's Fate! And it occurs that sometime soon, Sirocco and I will have to sit down and really think about what the remaining commands are.

Story: Michiru's Body Wash: Fiddling With Herself

I thought about this really hard, and felt that it would be more interesting to leave Michiru something with something of herself. In essence: She's becoming a bimbo with a few innate artistic talents. From this thought an interesting idea was born, and from that was born the punny title. I think I went a bit overboard on certain things, but am not sure what to remove to fix it. Please suggest fixes if you have any ideas.

Story: Real World Sailor Moon: Changes

Here is the latest vote winner! I hope you enjoy it.

Story: Urusei Yatsura: Side Effects of Hypnotism

This one begins from here.

Discussion: Real World Sailor Moon

This week's winner is in fact the very first Sailor Moon piece to come to the top of the votes, and I believe it is also the first collaboration with Sirocco to do so as well. In any case, let's discuss what is to be done with it.

Thread Voting Open Until October 21st

Since no complaints were raised last week, I have decided that we shall make use of a maximum of five votes a week. To ensure there is a difference in points, the Tiebreaker points assigned will proceed in the order 4,3,2,1,0 rather than the former 3,2,1.

Do remember to put the threads in order of preferance, because I am assuming that is how you want me to assign the Tiebreaker points. First thread gets the most, etc.

The thread is now open! Vote away!

Story: AH My Succubus: Purification

Continued from here

Story: You Bet: Bluffs Within Bluffs

Continued from here. And, sorry Sirocco but I decided to change that one card you asked about after all, to at least help the readers follow what's going on a little bit better.

Story: Ran's Body Wash

Another in the body wash saga, with yet another take.

Story: Contagious Geass

Isn't it weird that this is the second Code Geass fatesplit story, and Lelouch hasn't made an appearance in either yet?

Story: ANDFR: Planning Ahead

Here it is, and I hope it meets expectations. Enjoy!

Story: Fire vs Fire

Enjoy this diversion before I write out ANDFR, and maybe work out a new title for it.

Discussion: ANDFR: In Need of New Title

In all seriousness I would like to put a new title on this and I am taking suggestions for it. Let's talk about what we can do with this one!

Thread Voting Open Until 14th October

A suggestion was made to me by email yesterday regarding a minor alteration to the rules. As always, I would like to ask participants how they feel about the suggested rules alteration before implementing it, so please continue to do as usual until otherwise stated. Vote for three in the order of preferance, most wanted to least.

The suggestion was to permit two additional votes per week. Neither vote would add to the tiebreaker value, but would add to the regular vote. Until two weeks ago that was all that was really needed to win the week anyway. How would everybody feel about voting for up to five a week?

In any case: This week's round of votes is open! Please leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments section on whether we should start having five votes as of next week instead of three.

Story: RCM: Quirky Detective

Continued from here.

Story: Ukyo's Body Wash

I decided to ignore the Ranma direction on the body wash thread, and instead focused on a different character and a different direction. Enjoy!

Story: Reflective Seduction: Step One

Here we go with this week's winner.

Story: Anime Alter Ego: The Tomboy and the Warrior

Begun from here.

Story: The Normality of Kyon

A fun little idea I had for Normality Earrings, I'll need to look up the thread this would continue from and probably have to add in a fatesplit to get it running.

Story: Code Geass Miscalculation: Turning Japanese

We have the first of the Code Geass fatesplit ideas I had. It's a bit of an odd choice, but here goes!
