f_march_madness thoughts.
Okay, as it seems most of you are well aware it’s Fandom March Madness time. I don’t get very serious about it. I vote for characters I care about, if it’s a face off between characters I don’t know I don’t vote, I don’t get into the whole vote trading aspect. I get over it pretty quickly when it doesn’t go my way, mostly because I forget about it by April at the latest (then it’s baseball season and I spend way more energy on that).
But this year I think I’ll at least on my own journal talk about the ones I care about. Since we don’t know all the fandoms to be included yet (at least not that I could find), these are just guesses even on that level.
Doctor Who (and verse): I’m on TEAM RTD ERA. I care less about which character it is as long as it’s an RTD era character. Preferably a companion (yes even Martha and no that doesn’t mean I like her) of which I suspect Donna would have the best shot but really, you are not ripping me away from my Rose unless it’s absolutely necessary to make sure an different RTD character makes it.
BtVS/AtS (I think they combine them): TEAM CORE FOUR. Buffy/Giles/Willow/Xander. I am also a card carrying member of TEAM DEATH TO SPIKE, not just during this thing but always. Really anyone but Spike is better than Spike, but the core four are my top choices.
HIMYM: Team NOT BARNEY. Any of the others, fine, Barney I will not be voting for EVER, I never do because I really can’t stand him.
Community: Honestly? I’m just on TEAM COMMUNITY. Sure I’d like it to be one of the girls or Troy or Abed, but I wouldn’t complain if Jeff or the Dean got the nod. As long as it isn’t Pierce or Change these guys have my vote against a whole lot of others.
Game of Throne (everyone is acting like this will be there): like with Community I’m just on TEAM GAME OF THRONES. If I had to guess I’d say Tyrion or Ned will get the nomination but my heart belongs to Arya. I just won’t object when one of the guys pulls it off.
Big Bang Theory: TEAM NOT SHELDON, look he never was my favorite and the over exposure of him was a large part of what drove me away from the show.
Star Trek: TEAM 24TH CENTURY. None of those TOS/Reboot characters, give me TNG and DS9 any day. Mostly DS9 for that matter, but TNG has some good options too. Kira/Odo/Garek/Sisko/Bashir/Miles/Worf/Picard/Data (annoyingly, besides Kira I don’t love that many of the ladies, but would take them over TOS/Reboot characters).
TVD: TEAM ELENA, followed by TEAM NOT A SALVATORE (...or Klaus...or Tyler). In order my votes would go for Elena, Elijah, Caroline, Alaric/Bonnie/Jeremy. I’d love to see Elena get the nod because she’s my favorite, but realistically I’m not holding my breath because from what I see fandom isn’t big on her just now...or ever that much.
Overall Teams:
TEAM NOT-MOFFAT, Sherlock and post RTD-Who are not getting my votes (maybe if Buffy fandom insists on nominating Spike...)
TEAM NOT A DOUCHE-BAG: Note my feelings on Barney, apply them to any characters like him (unless it’s Jeff Winger and even then he’s coasting a lot on the show)
Team Misandry/Reverse Racism: not a hard and fast rule, but definitely a good idea
TEAM NOT USING GIFS: this is a personal team, but as you can kind of see here, I’m not big on gifs (shrug)
If you can make a good case for other characters that strikes a chord with me I’ll consider throwing some votes that way.

Date: 2012-03-05 03:05 pm (UTC)I'm conflicted in my ranking of Elijah and Caroline on my list of desired nominations. I do like Elijah more than Care - well I'm more drawn to Elijah at least - but Care would still be a lady nomination so in a way I do prefer that. Either way they're not he-man douchebags.
