ffm because filling out polls is fun!

[aria]

Fandom March Madness is making me a bit sad this year, because everyone I love keeps vanishing, so ... I feel like playing it here? Just for fun? And because I suspect that my rlist's tastes skew a bit different from that of a huge comm.

This is not scientifically rigorous, and is for fandoms that I like rather than, necessarily, fandoms up for March Madness, so ... hopefully enough of you know enough of these that it won't be completely silly. And frankly, I'm not sure how to divide categories, so you just get everything alphabetically.


26 fandoms: a handy list! Avatar: the Last Airbender, Avengers, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel, Chronicles of Narnia, Community, Demon's Lexicon, Doctor Who (1963), Doctor Who (2005), Downton Abbey, due South, Firefly, Good Omens, Harry Potter, Revenge, Sherlock, Slings & Arrows, Star Trek: TOS, Supernatural, Tortall Universe, West Wing, White Collar, Young Wizards

What's the QUESTION? What characters are you writing stories about? What characters do you wish there were more stories about? Which is your favorite character? Which one have your written the most stories about? I can't tell.

[aria]

Ah! It is based on Fandom March Madness; basically you're just voting for your favorite character, by whatever criteria you wish.

[scribe]

OH GOD SOME OF THESE WERE SO HARD.

[aria]

RIGHT? Oh man though I will feel so much worse tomorrow when I have to pit delightful characters against one another.

[scribe]

I think you should combine this with that meme where you make a secret list of characters and then plug them into prompts that other people make up, except instead of numbering the characters 1-10 or whatever it would be like, the winner of bracket one has a threesome with the two people in bracket five!

...Okay, maybe I haven't thought this through entirely. But something like that! That would be nicer than pitting them against each other.

[aria]

I ... actually am super tempted to write crossover ficlets in apology to any characters that I put up against one another. I probably wouldn't do it in any really organized way, but I am pleased and amused to note that our minds are basically on the same track here. :D

[littledust]

River Tam is missing from the Firefly one! ALSO THOSE CHOICES WERE HARD.

[aria]

Ahhh that is what I get making A MILLION POLLS. I can't actually edit it but I'll put in something about how you can have River as a write-in in comments, perhaps?

[coffeesuperhero]

I am really loving the West Wing poll right now. CJ CREGG...aaaaaaand the Batman & Robin of speechwriting.

Really I love all of their faces and it is hard to choose between them D: D: D: THIS WAS SO DIFFICULT. I LOVED IT.

[aria]

Hah YES. My favorite things about these polls so far: UNANIMOUS ABED, and NEARLY UNANIMOUS CJ + Sam & Toby. RLIST YOU ARE THE BEST, is my basic conclusion here.

[coffeesuperhero]

UNANIMOUS ABED MADE ME CLAP MY HANDS WITH GLEE! I WAS JUST TELLING YOUR NEMESIS HOW HAPPY IT MADE ME. :D :D :D

I will happily vote for CJ in the next round, but I had to express my undying love for Toby while I could. Unless, oh no, unless CJ is up against Zoe or something, and then, MY HEART. SHE WILL BE TORN ASUNDER.

[paxpinnae]

I'm afraid I broke Unanimous Abed. I'M SORRY, I JUST HAVE A LOT OF TROY FEELINGS AND I FIGURED SOMEONE WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR BRITTA AND/OR ANNIE.

[coffeesuperhero]

BUT TROY FEELINGS ARE SO WONDERFUL, WHY WOULD YOU APOLOGIZE FOR THEM. Troyyyyy. It's always a tough choice between Troy and Abed, for me! I spent many minutes going, MY EMOTIONS!!!!!

[labellementeuse]

I voted Britta. I can't help it, she's my girl. (Abed cloooooooooooose second though.)

[ghostrunner]

I love you so much for including Rikash in the Tortall poll. You are my favorite forever.

[aria]

Um I HAD to, you see, Rikash is my Stormwing boyfriend. :D

[sophia_sol]

Oh, dude, I didn't even notice Rikash was there because I was too busy going KEL ILU KEL HOW SO AWESOME KELLLLL, but HELLS TO THE YES on including Rikash, because he is AWESOME and I love him SO MUCH.

[aria]

I mean, it is extremely correct of you to be distracted by Tammy Pierce's AWESOME LADIES. (Although -- man, I should reread Kel, I think I was slightly too young for her at the time and was mostly wondering where all the ~dramatic standoffs with villains~ and ~chosen people of the gods~ had gone because oh do I love those, so Kel was a bit meh. I suspect she'd stand up excellently on a reread. ANYWAY.) In conclusion awesome ladies but also RIKASH <333

[sophia_sol]

Oh gosh you TOTALLY NEED TO REREAD KEL because she is my girlfriend FOREVER. SHE IS MY FAVOURITE AND FAVOURITE. She FEELS THINGS and DOESN'T LET THE FEELINGS GET IN HER WAY, and she is strong and determined and brave in the face of people saying and doing awful things to her, and she has SO MUCH determination to HELP PEOPLE. She teaches Lalasa self defense! And she FACES HER FEAR OF HEIGHTS AND IS PREPARED TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING SHE'S WORKED SO HARD FOR in order to save Lalasa! And then she isn't quite sure what she wants romantically and sexually but experiments and enjoys herself and ends the series single! And she is friends with boys and also girls, and she DAMN WELL WEARS DRESSES to stuff her femaleness down the throats of people who don't like it, and she is the stubbornest person ever, and she CARES FOR PEOPLE SO MUCH.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I DUMP ALL MY KEL FEELS ALL OVER YOU.

[aria]

Oh wow I clearly have to reread Kel RIGHT NOW. I think I have ... at least the first two/possibly all four books around the house somewhere? I hope so!

Her overcoming her fear of heights is definitely one of the things I remember most strongly liking about those books when I read them way back when, because I am absolutely petrified of heights in an awful visceral physical way, and reading about Kel dealing with her fear was AWESOME.

[sophia_sol]

YES REREADING KEL IS THE BEST LIFE CHOICE. I would shove my copies of the books DIRECTLY INTO YOUR HANDS if I could!

Heights aren't something I'm at all afraid of, but my mother is, so I could understand and contextualize HOW BAD her fear was and thus HOW AWESOME IT WAS that she did everything she could to FIX THAT. KELLLLL!

[labellementeuse]

Keladry is the best knight in all the realms, the end. (The Tortall poll, bemusingly, is the one I cared about most of these. If Kel hadn't been winning I would have had to seriously have an issue.) Kel is like. She makes mistakes! And she tries hard! And things aren't easy for her and she doesn't have a destiny (well, a little one) and she doesn't have superpowers and she pretends like she doesn't have a temper but she so does and she notices everything and cares about everyone and she just wants her king to be good and she's sad when he's not and she judges people harshly sadfg KEL FEELINGS PARTY RIGHT HERE.

[sophia_sol]

YES ALL OF YOUR FEELINGS ARE UTTERLY CORRECT AND I AGREE WITH THEM.

SO MANY FEELINGS.

(also I love your icon!)

[surexit]

NO.

WHAT?

HE'S MINE.

[aria]

SURELY WE CAN SHARE

I mean if Daine lets us, I assume she has first dibs.

[surexit]

I DON'T SHARE RIKASH.

[polarisnorth]

YOU ARE SO EVIL. THIS IS SO DIFFICULT.

[aria]

YES YES ALL MY NEFARIOUS PLAN

[polarisnorth]

Re: your icon, I assume Smallville wasn't on there because we all know how that would turn out.

[aria]

Hah, idk, it might've gone to Chloe or Lois. But I just didn't care enough! (I mean, honestly the only reason I even put Supernatural on is to see how many rounds Jo Harvelle will stick through. XD)

[songofsongs]

I know the voting pool here is much smaller but I was still SO SURPRISED at how many of these I was the only vote for. I count... 7. Which I guess is not so bad, but was surprising right off the bat since it was 4 out of the first 5 categories. O.o

Also I was all pumped to vote for Guinevere in Merlin, and then it wasn't a fandom, which mostly just occurred to me since I'm watching it RIGHT NOW. Am catching up since it's on Netflix. Forgot that I actually like it quite a bit, especially after a period of very low expectations and not having much investment. Oh, shiny show, keep being silly and anachronistic and unapologetic about how awesome your ladies are.

[aria]

Huh! Now of course I have to go and look at what you voted for. :D But yeah, small voting pool.

Ohhh Merlin. I keep thinking that maybe I should catch up! I stopped only partway into s2 because I suddenly realized that Morgana was doomed and I just couldn't keep going. But I miss it lots! Hmm.

[mergatrude]

I could not vote in Due South because it is forever an OT3 for me. Then I realised no one had voted for Ray Vecchio and went back to vote for him. :-p

[aria]

Aw! Yeah, I kind of want equal love for all of them here. :D

[northeto.livejournal.com]

So many tough choices!
Also, how did I not know that you watch Downton Abbey?

[aria]

Downton Abbey is a well-kept secret! By which I mean I am only a couple episodes in, but I love it lots. :D

It has a lot of delightful characters. I am extremely fond of it. I am all caught up, which is a bit strange because so little of the tv I watch nowadays is actually currently running (or at least I am so far behind in it that there are seasons and seasons before I catch up) that it was a bit of a shock to realize that I'm going to have to wait almost a year for more.

Whoever voted for Maria in Slings & Arrows LET ME LOVE YOU.
*has strong stage manager feelings* *voted for Anna anyway*

[chagrined]

I vote River.

A vote for River Tam, noted. :)

I am noting a theme in my responses.

DOOOOOOOORKS. DORKS AND GEEKS FOREVER. DORKS AND GEEKS AND TOTAL GLEEFUL NUTCASES WHO ARE ALSO BADASSES, IF ONLY IN FANON. ♥

...And also Faith.

EDIT: ...And Zoe. Non-dorky female badasses in Joss Whedon shows: also acceptable.

I think this is an excellent theme! Dorks and geeks and Faith and Zoe! :D

I actually find these polls way worse than fandom vs fandom ones. Agonising over whether I should go back and make my vote for Dairine a vote for Carmela just to show more of the love, argh. ARGH.

Also contemplating switching from Jill to Aravis. Augh.

Ohhh yes, choosing in the prelims is ABSOLUTELY the worst bit. (Which is why I am not even voting! I may at the end of there are ties before I close the polls, but it is kind of nice to not have this particular agony.)

Also, I am replying here instead of upthread because MY BBC NARNIA BABIES IN YOUR ICON. HEY GUYS I LOVE YOU. New films Susan says hey!

[labellementeuse]

NGL new films Susan is my favourite.

[genarti]

OH GOD THE ATLA ONE WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CHOOOOOSE.

[aria]

THE PRELIMS ARE CRUEL, I KNOW

[genarti]

Oh, like later rounds are going to be LESS cruel.

*clings to all beloved characters, ALL OF THEM*
