*drags himself in looking half dead*

Ughhhhhh. So, I screwed up by the numbers and left the Story Poll open to All Patrons instead of just the voting tiers for a full day, back when I put it up on the 18th. Meaning I had to spend something like two hours just sorting out valid votes from invalid votes (out of 336 only 155 were from valid voting tiers). It was entirely my own fault, but it made running the numbers an extra level of agonizing this time. On the plus side, in pure self-defense of my sanity, I found a quicker, easier way to do the final tallying once I sorted that mess out. So in the future it will be easier, at least.

Anyway, enough about my mistakes! Let's take a look at the results:

A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure: 334.34 + (10% Boost) = 367.77

Stripper with a System: 271.51

Harry Potter: Pandora's Box: 187.51

Why Was There No Truck?!: 127.68

As you can see (if you look back at the poll post), removing the non-valid votes and applying the vote weighing changed the apparent winner pretty dramatically. Stripper still placed well, but A Very Confused Pokemon Adventure would have won even without its boost. Honestly, despite having a fairly solid muse for Stripper still, I'm good with that. A Very Confused Pokemon Adventure has always been fairly popular and has gone unusually long without an update.

I'm a little more surprised how poorly Why Was There No Truck?! did. But I suspect that was the fault of there still being another update of it due while most people were voting. I've worked out a schedule shuffle that I think will fix that, which I'll hopefully be posting tomorrow. I have a bit of a busy day ahead of me tomorrow though, so it's possible it will get delayed until after the Stripper With a System release on the 28th. It's not a huge shuffle, and won't affect the total amount of monthly content at all, so no need to worry over it :-p. I'm just planning to shuffle the exact update dates for the various stories a bit, in order to make the monthly poll fit around everything else more cleanly.

Why didn’t you just let the plebs vote this once?

*shrug* Because it devalues the voter tiers. Getting to vote and how much your vote matters is literally the point of those tiers. It would be massively unfair to them if I let almost the same number of people who weren't supposed to be able to vote override the actual winner. Which likely would have happened in this case. Stripper probably would have won, ripping the one thing those tiers are supposed to have control of out of their hands.

Can't speak for anyone else, but currently I just dump all my votes into whatever's been the longest since updating, so I was never going to vote for Truck even if it's probably my favorite of the three (yes there's four, but Stripper gets updated more often than not, so unless it goes a couple months without, I'm probably not voting for it since I can count on it showing up without my vote)

So a fic idea just occurred to me that I think you'd do amazing things with but I have no idea if you'd want to do. Throw 2B and possibly someone else non native into the Firefly universe somewhere they'll run into the main cast after the war that's shown to have happened before the TV show is set but early enough 2B won't be a NEW crew member/ally by the time they discover the truth about the reavers. Could make it vague enough it's unclear if it's 2B from post a very confused Pokemon adventure or post my hero automata.
