Latest Poll Closed: Next-Next Storyline Chosen

"The Very Busy Monday" narrowly edged out "Switch Chelsea and her mother" in the free poll, but it also won the GP poll by a more convincing margin, so that will be the storyline that comes after the one that starts today.

I'm going to share partial results of the GP poll here, because some big batches of GP got dropped on some entries, and the people who dropped them would probably like to know how their choice(s) managed to lose despite receiving some heavy-ish coin. So:

The GP vote results:
"The Very Busy Monday": 36,000 GPs
"A Partner": 26,815 GPs
"Switch Chelsea": 8211 GPs
"My Brother, My Self": 7000 GPs

Each free vote was worth 3251 GPs, so that the final vote totals were:
"The Very Busy Monday": 36,000 GPs + 32,510 "free" = 68,510
"A Partner": 26,815 GPs + 13,004 "free" = 39,819
"Switch Chelsea": 8211 GPs + 29,259 "free" = 37,470
"My Brother, My Self": 7000 GPs + 9753 "free" = 16,753

Because of the way the GP vote influenced the value of the "free votes," it would have taken an additional GP vote of 46,000 to put "A Partner" over "The Very Busy Monday" and even more to loft any of the other entries into first place.

BTW, the five biggest individual GP votes went to:
"The Very Busy Monday": 35,000 GPs
"A Partner": 15,000 GPs
"My Brother, My Self": 7000 GPs
"A Partner": 6000 GPs
"Switch Chelsea": 5000 GPs

Those who voted 36,000 GPs for "The Very Busy Monday" will get that storyline. Those who voted for the other choices will get their GPs back, along with a share of the 36,000 GPs proportionate to the size of the GPs they voted. Those dividends will be distributed later today.
