fmm, round 1

[aria]

In a process that continues to be extremely scientifically rigorous, rather than just pairing everyone off alphabetically, I've counted the number of respondents by fandom and paired characters off according to how many votes each fandom received total. I didn't account for fandom overlap, so in some cases it probably will just come down to which of the two characters you know, but hopefully it means characters from smaller fandoms can stay in the running a little longer.

(I confess organizing things this way also means that I get to witness the beautiful perfection of Alan Ryves vs Emily Thorne, but it is possible that I am one of maybe two people in the whole universe who might appreciate how great this is.)

And there were a couple of ties; in those cases, since I'm just sitting back with popcorn rather than voting, I decided on the breaking vote for those. Have at it!

FIRST TO VOTE. GET IN.

Some of those are 'characters I know vs. characters I don't' choices. Some of them are just 'fuck it, SOMEONE has to win. D:'

[aria]

Yeeeah, there is quite a lot of 'fuck it, SOMEONE has to win.' :(

[such_heights]

OW MARTHA VS. LUNA OW. :(

[aria]

IT IS KIND OF THE WORST

[labellementeuse]

I refuse to vote on Toph vs Kara. If everyone else does the same can they just go through?! THAT WOULD BE BETTER.

COME ON KELADRY YOU CAN DO IIIIIIT

[labellementeuse]

PS GO NITA KICK CASTIEL'S BUTT. He's okay but you know.

[labellementeuse]

PPS I'm really enjoying how I get to use all these icons I never usually use. Here is some more classic Narnia for you since it looks like this is the last time I will use it ;.;

[aria]

I ... confess that I am really hoping Nita kicks Castiel's butt, mostly because Castiel was a surprise win at the end and for a while Jo Harvelle was in the lead; I would be having way more agonies if it was Nita vs Jo.

[labellementeuse]

I'd still vote Nita, even though she probably would have been my third pick for that fandom and Jo was my pick for SPN. *shrug* Can't help it; the Callahan-Rodriguezes are flawless.

[paxpinnae]

I voted for Toph. IT WAS REALLY REALLY HARD, THOUGH. Kara lost only because BSG turned into a total trainwreck at the end there, and I wound up sort of vaguely hating everyone.

[sentientcitizen]

ARGH NO. My babies, all my babies! Choosing some of these was VERY HARD.

[aria]

I am so sorry! IT PROBABLY ONLY GETS WORSE FROM HERE.

[icepixie]

Ohhhhhh, you are so cruel to pair Geoffrey with G'Kar. SO CRUEL.

[aria]

It is how the numbers came out! But it is very cruel indeed.

[scribe]

Unexpectedly, I think the hardest decision was Kel vs. El (heh). I'm slightly bemused that Kel ended up as the Tortall pick, though. Really, Kel? She's so...bland. *hides from the apparently existent hordes of Kel fans*

I went for Kel anyway. Tamora Pierce forever, even if she's not my favorite character.

Also I would like that Spock vs. Loki fic.

[aria]

Yeah, I'm surprised also! Although also pleased, because the surge of Kel enthusiasm prompted me to pick up Protector of the Small again for the first time in a decade, and ohhh I love me some Tamora Pierce books.

I suspect that if Spock and Loki got in an actual fight, Spock would win.

[srevans]

Boy no fucking kidding. Impossible, RIGHT OUT THE GATE.

[aria]

COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE. I am glad I'm just collating instead of actually voting on these.

[oliviacirce]

ALAN RYVES VS. EMILY THORNE. OH MY GOD. I. WHAT.

[aria]

RIGHT? I JUST. SO GREAT. Of course now I want to write bizarre crossover fic. Demons in the Hamptons! Charming liars! Alan and Emily having one another's numbers in like three seconds flat! Meanwhile Nick is sarcastic at Victoria and Mae has a grand old time at the Stowaway! I ... suspect if Sin came along she would hate every second of it but be an excellent co-conspirator for Alan! And I suddenly ship Jamie/Nolan, HELP.

Well that was an explosion of feelings. :D?

[travels_in_time]

I am so surprised that Nita Callahan is (at the moment) beating Castiel. Happy, but surprised.

[aria]

I am very pleased! But not terribly surprised, since most of the people voting are on my rlist, and I suspect perhaps more have strong Young Wizards feelings than strong Supernatural ones.

[birggitt]

Wow! Topher is 5 votes over Starbuck! How did that happen? *laughs*

But I do love G'Kar getting so many votes! That was unexpected :O

[aria]

I mean, it keeps going back and forth, because they are both SO AWESOME.

I am surprised at the number of G'Kar votes too! Surprised and pleased.

[surexit]

DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN ARAVIS AND ZOE?

No one else I care about got through. :(

[jczetta]

Seeing "Keladry of Mindelan" suddenly made me want to read those again, as I have not in _years_, and usually it is a sudden intense desire to read Song of the Lioness and not those. But suddenly! I don't even have them here, aaaahg. XP

Anyway, I'm pretty pleased about this overall; thank you.

[sophia_sol]

UGH THIS WAS EVIL. Also I am fascinated by which polls are super close and which ones someone is winning by a lot! (and by "fascinated" I mostly mean "UGH NO WHY ARE ARAVIS AND KEL LOSING SO BAD") Can't all the polls turn out to be ties? I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT ANSWER.

[tei]

SPOCK VS. LOKI? ELIZABETH VS KEL? WHY MUST YOU DO THESE THINGS? D: D: D:
