Fandom March Madness!

Watch out, y'all. It's that time of year again.



Fandom March Madness!

That's right it's time to pit characters from different fandoms against each other in a seemingly pointless yet really HIGHLY IMPORTANT competition. Right now it's perhaps the most heartbreaking round, the preliminaries where you have to choose just one character from within each fandom. Seriously, how am I supposed to choose just one character from all of Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures when there are so many fantastic individuals in the Whoniverse? (Spoiler Alert: I picked Donna. She's the most important woman in the universe, plus a strategic vote to get past Amy Pond and unite the fandom in later rounds.)

Go tear your hair out in frustration at these impossible choices VOTE!  Also, enjoy all the pretty gifs and capslock flailing in the comments.  Voting on the preliminaries lasts until 1-2 pm Eastern on Thursday. 

Might I suggest:

John Watson for Sherlock.  We'd be lost without our blogger. 

Donna Noble for Doctor Who.  She is our household god!

Neville Longbottom for Harry Potter.  I am honestly confused about how he is not sweeping this bracket.  He's the biggest BAMF in the series and also a really great guy.

I didn't vote for any of your suggestions.

Sorry.

OH GOD THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF THIS.

True fact: it was this competition last year that alerted me to the existence of BBC's Miranda, which I now LOVE WITH A FIERY PASSION.

If nothing else, the comment threads are hilarious and give you a taste for new fandoms so you can see what you maybe should be checking out.

I am going to go vote now!

So much Sherlock hate in the comments! I know he's a misogynist and a privileged dick, but there's a certain point at which I draw a line in the social justice sand, refuse to feel guilty, and enjoy the show.
