Ship Bracket - The Sweet Sixteen

4/18/2015

17 Comments

 
EDIT: Despite recent events, we really do want to create a situation that is best for everyone. We think this is it: we are restarting the Swan Queen vs Stucky poll. It will begin at 9AM PDT and end at the previously assigned time of 3PM PDT. The votes received from your constructive comments below will still count. It will be set to limit voting in the same way as previous rounds to prevent another lockdown from happening. Best of luck to both fandoms.

NOTICE & A Note From Your ALNM Hosts:
This is NOT about people tattling or voting one too many times. We received a notification from our service provider and it caused the poll to be locked automatically. To clarify for you guys, we did not receive this notification in any other round of voting so far.  As someone who ships neither Stucky nor SwanQueen, we are currently working together and discussing the FAIREST way to proceed. We appreciate your love of your fandoms and your dedication to this ship bracket.  Our hope is that the outcome is as fair as possible

We're down to few enough ship battles that we can put them all in one handy post!  That also means it's about to get real.  You want to hear us talk about all our ships and the ship bracket?  Download our last episode here!

Polls close Apr 21 at 3:00 PM PDT

Remember, you can comment below with a link to your favorite fanfic/fanart or why you ship your ships for extra votes!  I want to give a shout out to the shippers who did last round, especially those amazing posts for Rose/Ten and Skyeward.  You'll see your comments appear again later post-bracket.

VOTE!  And remember, you can vote more than once this time...within reason ;)

While it was coming to the end of the Harry Potter books that got me into fanfiction and, more widely, into internet fandom, there was one pairing from an altogether different fandom to my usual sci-fi/fantasy preferences that really captured my heart (however cheesy that may sound).
I entered the Glee universe through reading several novel-length Faberry stories, forever reshaping the way in which I perceived their relationship once I started watching the show. For me, Quinn's actions were frequently ripe with subtext, which honestly makes me believe that the writers had toyed with the idea of Quinn being in love with Rachel before deciding to proceed with Brittana.
Alternatively, even if this wasn't their intention, Faberry have such an electric chemistry, and endless potential, that they really captured my imagination. There are many wonderful fanfics out there, featuring alternate realities, time travel, fairytale kingdoms and all sorts of fluffy goodness - but the one I'd like to recommend has a special place in my heart, because it got me into another of my favourite series - Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
'Chosen' is a crossover of sorts; it places the characters of Glee in the Buffyverse, with slayers, demons and hellmouths... after reading this, I started watching Buffy and couldn't be more glad that I did. It's for this reason that I'd like to express my support for my OTP, Faberry, and thank you for running this poll.
To quote Quinn Fabray (rather randomly/without context, I know aha); "you can't change your past, but you can let go, and start your future..."

No entiendo porque habéis quitado a SwanQueen. Tienen un fandom muy grande al cual pertenezco, no les hace falta hacer trampas, si os han llegado mensajes de que están haciendo trampas seguramente son mensajes de los fandoms Captain swan y outlaw queen que siempre están inventando tonterías, e incluso se hacen pasar por swen para dejar mal al fandom. Y si se están quejando las fans de stucky lo siento, pero el fandom SQ es más grande que el suyo.

One of my favorite fanfics of Kirk/Spock is "Take Refuge in What You Know":

Hey, you say we can vote more than once and we do it and now you close the Swan Queen poll because some people don't know how to lose witouht cry? This is so unfair! This is shit.

So basically 'within reason' in this case means that fans can vote multiple times if you're in the ships that are presumed to win (i.e. I guess not Swan Queen in this case)??

That doesn't anger or surprise me. I won't curse you out for it, after all it is your poll, and you have the right to run it however you want. But it just makes me sad. Very sad. I hope that you resume the Stucky/SQ part of the poll.

Also, my guess is that SWEN did nothing new in this round that they didn't do in the last round, so, why the change now would be my next question?

I wouldn't worry about it. This morning I saw that Stucky had something like 4k votes and this afternoon they had 7k, while we gained a much more reasonable amount through the day (1k maybe?). If there was foul play, I doubt it was from our side lol.

I've been voting nonstop for Swan Queen via mobile and it sucks that after all our hardwork the poll was closed. I know a lot of Swen have been voting like crazy too. Does this mean both ships are eliminated? Or is something gonna be done with this? I know Swen wouldn't cheat.
