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!
( ALL OF THESE ARE DIFFICULT, I'm so sorry, you guys. Twelve pairings under the cut! )
