Be the Change You Want to See In Fandom

[ozmissage]

March Madness starts tomorrow! This is me being excited. Lost fans get ready to vote, we are always crazy underrepresented. The prelims open tomorrow and I’m personally pulling for Juliet, but I will happily support whatever Lostie makes it through to the next round. (And yes this is probably all I’m going to talk about for the next two weeks, but you guys this is serious business.)

Juliet is basically the only Lostie with even a fighting chance of garnering the kind of broad support that a winner needs, so I'll totally be pulling for her too. This is my first March Madness, is it weird that I'm excited? ;)

Sawyer made it through last year, but then he had to go head to head with Dean Winchester and he had his ass handed to him...I'm confident that Juliet could take Dean At least in my universe.;)

This is my first March Madness, is it weird that I'm excited?

Excitement is the appropriate response to the awesomeness that is about to commence. :D

Is it okay if I pull for the underdog? :p Juliet, though, needs some love.

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

It is. I'm going to try to be sane about who other people vote for. Try. Although, Barney and Spike are going down.

Juliet's had a rough year, I think this would cheer her up. ;)

Okay, I feel so out of it, I've never heard of this. How do you participate?

*iz embarrassed*

It's super easy. The mod will post a series of polls pitting different fictional characters against one another until there's just one character left.

All you have to do is vote for your favorites.

Although, people usually get really into it and make "campaign" posts to drum up votes. Here's one (http://irishmizzy.livejournal.com/184303.html) irishmizzy made for Chandler Bing last year.

There's also an "office pool" you can participate in if you want to where you get to predict the winners.

It's a lot of fun. And I'm making it my personal mission to get a girl through to the final round. It's come down to Dean Winchester and Barney Stinson two years in a row. It's time for a change. :)

Ah, that does sound easy, thank you for the info. I'm all for girls coming out on top in fandom, so I'm in. :D

I am going to lose my mind. I lost it last year, and am afraid once again. Oh my god. *fraks out*

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Heh. It's going to be okay, we can go crazy together.;)

This sounds interesting and somewhat addictive. I may not be a fan of Lost, but I will join and support some of the female characters in the other fandoms I follow. Thanks for alerting me!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's so much fun and there are lots of fandoms represented. :D
