Somewhere Different Now

The time is upon us once more.  Get yourselves over to f_march_madness right now to support your favorite characters in a cross-fandom battle royale!

Sources of entertainment include:

-Campain for your darlings with gifs, meta, vote trading, desperate pleas, or whatever else might convince someone to vote for them.

-Fill out an office poll to attempt to predict the whims of the community and possibly be rewarded with GLORY.

-Read the passionate comment section to giggle at out of context jokes and be introduced to shows that you might want to watch.

-Stare in shocked horror or throw popcorn when a wankfest develops.  It's war out there.

-Grumble about the mods' totally inexplicable choices of which characters to include from each fandom.  (Mary Morstan left out of Sherlock voting FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, despite the inclusion of characters with much less screen time like Sarah Sawyer or Anderson?  Is this an anti-Mary plot or just negligence?) (See, the previous source of entertainment is already operating.)

-Wail and gnash your teeth at being forced to choose between amazing characters.

The prelims, which select the champion for each fandom, are going on from now until Friday at ~1 pm Eastern/10 am Pacific.  Head on over now, and may the best character* win!

*Clearly, that's Peggy Carter

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.
