And the polls are OFFICIALLY OPEN! Notes for this round:

Polls close at 9PM PT on March 19th.
Please share your recs and reasons for loving your ship in the brackets.
You can view the updated bracket here
If the Ship Bracket continues next year, these Sweet Sixteen ships have automatically qualified (along with the wild cards)!
The winner of the wild card will replace the Sweet Sixteen winner with the lowest number of votes in the Elite Eight. This is the last wild card opportunity in the ship bracket.
If I were more talented, I'd draw a comic of Hux and Rey fighting over Kylo Ren in the poll below. Lol.
Good luck!

Mod

Can we only vote once now? I tried voting the usual 25 times and it’s only allowing one vote.

Thank you.

Got my coffee, snacks and voting fingers!

We can do this, Marrish! We’ve gone up against Steroline, Kylux, Karamel, Reylo, Destiel,Stydia, finalist Hollstein, winners Newtmas and Sanvers.

We’ve taken on larger fandoms, wind-assisted voting, frozen brackets, and probably carpal tunnel syndrome.

WE CAN DO THIS!!

Plan B... was that the cunning plan or the devious plan? I can never remember.

😆🤣

Well darn it. We tried. And cut back the 6000 vote lead by Schmico to just over 4000. This little ship can still punch above it’s weight. ☺️

Congratulations Schmico. And your reward...SANVERS in the next round!!

Mua ha ha 😆

I seem to remember them taking out Stucky last year with over 25000 votes. Good luck 😉. (and yes Caramel Muffin, Plan B is a go!)

Congratulations to all the winners (commiserations to all the ones who tried).

Wow. The Wildcard bracket got almost as many votes as ALL the other brackets combined.And most of those were for Schmico and Marrish.

😃

Guess we’ll see you all in the next round. Us Marrish shippers will have to see who we’ll vote for.. hmm, I do have a hankering for some caramel 😜.

Guess we’ll continue with the recipes too. Hate for any of you to starve 🙂.

Heh 😏

Marrish has been Sweet 16 or Final Four since 2016. Not bad.

So plan B was making sure that every bracket winner had more votes than drarry, right?

So that means Schmico take their place..and face the might of sanvers..I like your plan.

Now rest. 😴
