*flashes geek card*

Because I was curious and also I have too many degrees I don't use I decided I would look at the actual numbers of the voting for the f_march_madness FANDOM STEEL CAGE MATCH .

With over 3000 votes so far, the numbers have changed very little (but some have in a surprising way) from last night when I first tabulated.

Overall results: (as of this morning)
There are 65 fandoms represented. Of those fandoms, 28 have a female favorite character. There are 6 fandoms where the votes m/f are too evenly split to call yet.



The ones that are too close right now:
Booth/Brennan (Bones)
Sam Carter/Daniel Jackson (SG-1)
Tami Taylor/Tim Riggins (FNL)
Chris/Effy (Skins)
Buffy/Spike (BTVS)
Tenth Doctor/Donna (DW)

Three fandoms switched favorites overnight: SV (Chloe switched to Lois), Pushing Daisies (Ned to Olive), and LotS (Cara to Kahlan).

All but a handful of favorites lost at least a percentage point overnight.

There are only 10 favorites who have more than 50% of the vote: Richard Castle, Dexter, Neal (White Collar), Liz Lemon, Sheldon (BBT), Chandler (Friends), Barney (HIMYM), Pacey (DC), Damon (TVD), and Veronica Mars (and because this is a geek poll, none of them are in the SF/Fan category).

Comedy is BY FAR the most male-dominated of the four major categories, with only 4 female favorites. So if you're thinking it's the SF-F category, you'd be wrong. Both Drama and SF are evenly split, and Teen is slightly more female to male.

And my personal favorite stat: watching Sam Anders stay ahead of William Adama. I find that SO satisfying. yes, I AM JUST THAT PETTY. :D (and watch, now that I've said that, some Emo!Bill fans are gonna gang up ... heh)



I love the gifs and campaign posters and such that people make too. And while there are certainly some people who are idiots and feel threatened that their favorite isn't winning, by far most people realize it's all in fun.

Now, I'm going to go change my vote from Martha to Donna, since Donna is now within FIVE votes of the Doctor. IN THE LEAD. :D

ETA: There's a wildcard poll between House and Leverage, to choose which fandom will be represented. So everyone who would like Parker to have a chance in the match, VOTE FOR Parker's Fandom here. You don't want to disappoint her, do you?

*goes to change vote to Buffy*

I seriously didn't think she had a chance of LOSING. o.O

I very nearly did count her as the winner, since she's 3% ahead, but her margin of actual votes isn't that large and she's only at 20%. So she's not "safe" even though I'm pretty sure she'll win..
