I'm not sure why I am asking for votes this round, because what would be truly great is tales of the amazing space adventures of these four people.

( Semifinals! And possibly space adventures! )

Tags:

Today's round has TICKY BOXES. Basically, if I paired everyone off as usual, we'd end up with three finalists, and because it's more ~dramatic~ with two or something, today we're knocking it down to four semifinalists. To keep things consistent, you're still voting for your favorites -- just check the four boxes for the characters you like MOST. Obviously if you only care about one to three of the characters, just vote for them, but anyone who checks five or six won't have any of their votes counted.

( TICKY BOX ROUND. )

Tags:

I do not have anything terribly witty to say this time, but oh wow, I am sorry that I'm giving you guys Martha vs Zoe. Obviously the solution is a space buddy movie.

( Round two! There will only be like ... four rounds, this is not very intense. )

Tags:

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! )

Tags:

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.

( Preliminaries for 26 fandoms beneath the cut. )

Tags:

Today we say goodbye to Vienna Teng and Paul Gross. THIS IS IT, GUYS. I don't even know how you're going to choose between Freema and Gina. Seriously, the answer to the question, "Martha or Zoe?" is clearly "Space adventures with both of them!"

We seem to have a tie this round between Callum Keith Rennie and Peter Wingfield, so instead of just choosing one or the other, because it might actually be physically impossible for me to do so, it's time for a tie-breaking vote.

ETA: It occurs to me, looking at the results so far, that this is actually a poll to determine who on my flist watches due South and who watches Highlander. I don't think that accounts for every vote, but it's definitely entertaining.

Something I have discovered about being polyfannish is that, when I am in the shower or on a bus or folding clothes or whatever it is that puts my brain on screensaver mode, I will start making up crossovers. I love clever crossovers, and clever fusions (and, I'll be honest here, I would be perfectly happy if every fandom ever had a His Dark Materials fusion where all the characters had daemons and this did interesting things to the fic plot). Most of the time I do not actually get around to writing them down, but I do like to pretend that I might.

I am not quite sure why the rest of this post is a poll, except that I am in a poll-making mood and I want to know if people know what I'm talking about.

It seems that mid-November is being bleak and hideous to everyone. For me this is mostly manifesting as a desire to hibernate, but while I am awake, I have been trying to seek out and create happy things. So here are two links and a poll!

i. Grace Jeanette sings "Na Na Na": that is, the adorable little girl from the Killjoys universe does a jazzy piano rendition that is almost unbearably cute. HUGS GIMME HUGS.

ii. Damn You, Auto Correct! What it says on the tin, really; it almost makes me want to get a smartphone, if only because the things are apparently hilariously dumb. I literally laughed until I cried reading through this.

iii. So uh I hear there might be this movie about a boy wizard coming out tomorrow? (The movie is coming out, I mean. I'm pretty sure the boy wizard has to wait until part two for his mentor to do that? IDK.) I sometimes pretend it has been years since Harry Potter was really important to me, but it is actually still mildly dangerous to say things to me like "What do you think about the treatment of Harry's parents' generation in Deathly Hallows?" or "Talk to me about the Black family!" or "So that Dumbledore guy ..." I have Opinions! And Feelings! And while I don't remember a lot of things that happen in DH (seriously, there was a dragon in the trailer and I was totally at sea -- this is what happens when you only read something once) I am still wicked psyched about it. So I think it is time for an impromptu show of hands! Tell me which Hogwarts house you belong in.

Know what I'm doing instead of packing? I'm reading all the G'Kar/Londo fic on the AO3. I haven't come across any tentacle porn yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time, considering the probable Venn diagram of Centauri biology and fandom sensibilities. Possibly someone needs to save me from myself.

To save this post from pointlessness (too laaaate) it is time for a poll, because I am genuinely curious as to how many of you know how much of what I'm talking about when I start nattering on about various fannish things. (I am not necessarily asking if you are fannishly involved yourself, nor even if you have seen the shows in question, just if you are not lost when I start talking about them.)

i. Link o' the day, courtesy of seeing it in the National Gallery and having a good laugh with my parents, Giovanni Emo, by Bellini. "He looks emo!" my mum said, and though I am sad that Signore Giovanni doesn't come with scenester bangs, it's still hilarious.

ii. Hair is cut! Car is mostly unpacked! Room is a complete mess, but I am studiously ignoring it and instead doing my best to mainline the rest of Babylon 5 before I abscond for WisCon. Here's what I'm discovering, to my horror: I think I want to do watchalong meta commentary. For the whole thing. I just love it so much, and am so thinky about it, that I want an excuse to watch it again. And I don't yet know if I have a ficcing urge, but I definitely have a fannish urge, which during the summer -- or possibly for a much more extended period, now that I'm done with school unless and until I want a graduate degree -- also manifests as a write-lots-of-meta urge. Ahhhh.

iii. Relatedly, the clearest sign I am getting dangerously fannish about something: a poll!
