Not as Crushing as It First Appears

Today's chapter—

Interactive: "Crushing It as Cindy" 
Public: "Crushing It as Cindy" 

—rounds out the storyline that started with "Your Two Faces" . Two related items to go with it:

Commentary thread in the forum: "Commentary: "Cindy for the Win""  
New poll: [Completed and deleted]

The poll of course has to do with the choice at the end of today's chapter: Keith has given Will a number of names of girls he might impersonate, and left it up to Will to choose. I'm giving the choice to you guys. Same rules as in the last poll: Each voter gets a single vote in the poll, but you can add weight to your votes by sending GPs via the tip forms in the chapters linked to in the poll. Poll closes on June 27.

Speaking of polls, the results in the last poll surprised me, not only by the fact that one choice was the runaway favorite among the voters individually, but who it was: Michelle Estrich.

She was the winning choice, but the weighted vote was much closer than the basic poll would show. After GPs were factored in, here are the vote totals:

Michelle Estrich: 8750
Victoria Rodriguez: 7917
Laura McGregor: 2917
Christian Padilla: 2083
Meghan Farris: 2083

Two more votes for Victoria, and it would have been a tie between her and Michelle.

Meanwhile, what comes next? A sequel to "The Cherry, Hung with Snow" 

This is a storyline with Will and Sydney. They're building themselves a Brotherhood of Baphomet, and have replaced three classmates so far. Will is currently impersonating the chilly Amanda Ferguson, while Sydney (after impersonating Kelsey Blankenship) has assumed the identity of David Kirkham. (Kirkham was hassling Will; this was their way of taming him.) At the moment Will (Amanda) and Sydney (Kirkham) are still at the Donna Motel, where Sydney has gotten drunk on Kirkham's testosterone, but they are getting ready to part for the day, and are looking forward to Will's next impersonation.

Finally, my thanks to Easy, Tal, and Puuuuuth for the Gift Points they donated me during this storyline. It was my pleasure.
