Ok, it's been a full week for the poll to simmer and there have been no more votes for two or three days, the results are pretty much set. To my utter surprise, it was a perfect tie between 'Everything, Everywhere one thing at a Time" and "The Strategy of Godly Surviving" while "Truth and Reconciliation" got a clear but distant third.

Given that I'm no longer going to be busy with Reset the Universe, this means I can start work immediately, instead of waiting until Understanding is complete.

I'm strongly inclined to use my own vote as a tie-breaker and select Everything Everywhere, because I like that one more and it has no baggage. The fact that GRRM has clearly given up on ever finishing ASOIAF has also also sapped a lot of my enthusiasm.

But that would be kind of a dick move, so I'm gonna put up a tie-breaker poll and cross my fingers.

That said, I'm running a different poll elsewhere on the net, where I get my best traffic on Understanding. To my surprise, it's another neck-and-neck race, this time between "Sons of Sons and Suns" and "Truth and Reconciliation." The winner there will end up replacing Understanding, when the time comes, so you folk on third place needn't abandon all hope just yet. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Originally voted ASOIAF, but would rather read something you enjoy writing more. So HP/SG it is. I am on the first 1/3 or the first chapter for that story. Started it ages ago while at the gym, but something came up and I just left the tab open on my phone and forgot about it.

Truthfully I would prefer ASOIAF but I'd much rather you not force yourself to write and go with where your muse leads you.
