rachg82All right, my lovely flist, the Shipper Showdown is officially over and your votes have been counted. May I have a drumroll please?
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, whether it was just to vote (even those of you who voted for more than one pairing, thus totally making your votes moot. Ha) or leave a comment, and a GIANT shout-out to those of you who hung out all day campaigning and making this showdown a complete blast for me. Three of you in particular--![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sumpta, crystalcazzie, and softly_me--pwned the shit out of this thing by taking my request for spam to a WHOLE 'nother level. Haha. Seriously, you guys kick epic amounts of ass and are legit my homegirls now.
Also, just for the record, the following new developments have sprung from today's shippery shenanigans:
-I will be checking out Farscape in the near future (this is thanks to you,careyleah)
-I will also be checking out NCIS (crystalcazzie, that one's all you)
-It's possible I may have added Buffy/Xander to my list of never-ending ships for Buffy (damn yoooooou,softly_me! Like I needed another ship!)
-Adama & Roslin took over the throne of #1 ship for me about midway through the campaign, thanks tosumpta and her mighty arsenal of thread bombs, .gifs, vids, references to nekkid sexytimes, and cruelly adorable pics & quotes (she quoted him reading to her at me! How was I supposed to resist THAT?). I still maintain that Mulder & Scully are my favorite old-school ship, and will always be #1 in my heart in many ways, but she held me down until I cried uncle and admitted that Adama/Roslin are the most perfect ship in my eyes. Which they are. But I feel like I need to go hug my X-Files DVDs and apologize to them or something. Haha. I HAVE ISSUES. (but hey, at least I got in a good deal of campaigning for Moose & Squirrel before then! Which either makes me a bigger traitor, or less of a traitor. I'm not sure. Heh)
Anyway, that's about it for tonight, because I've seriously been at this computer almost non-stop since 8 o'clock this morning. Aside from doing some laundry & making dinner, I really haven't moved much. If my neck had a hand, it'd probably be flipping me the bird right about now. Just sayin'.
(oh, and speaking of my total lack of productiveness today. . .that goal for finishing the epic Roslin picspam I mentioned by Tuesday? Yeah, I doubt that's gonna happen. Heh. But for sure I imagine I can have it done sometime this week. I figure the week of the anniversary still counts, right?)
Finally, before I go I will leave you all with a two-for-one-special Vid of the Day to celebrate our fine winners. These (along with a few others you can bet your asses I'll be reccing in the near future) were both posted by Ms. Thang up there in her comments today, and are too good not to pass along.
Vid #1: This one's by gglagazelle (or claraon, depending on whether you go by the name in the vid or the youtube name), and is just about one of the cutest, crackiest things I've ever seen. It's also the reason why I haven't been able to get "Bare Necessities" out of my head all day. Thanks for that. (psst,treeofstars, I know you in particular will love this one).
Vid #2: This one is by pennyfeline and straight-up moved me to tears, no lie. Between the perfect song and the "I'm right here" from Roslin and the "I like it so much I don't want it to be over" quote from Adama at the end as they're walking off? GAH. I may tear up all over again, for real. So, yeah, it's a wonderful vid to end this day on, and I hope you all enjoy. :-)

Date: 2010-03-23 12:09 am (UTC)Yes! I now have an official status on your flist! I think all my campaiging just proves how crazy I am and how much freetime I have on Sunday nights. (By the way, I posted my picspam over on

Date: 2010-03-23 02:10 am (UTC)Dude, totally. I really feel like I got to become pals with all three of you. Does that make me a dork? Probably. But I don't care! We bonded over Buffy comics & shipping Buffy with everyone under the sun! That's some good times right there!
And ha, at least you were only around during the night! I was there ALL DAY. My sister called asking to use my computer & I told her no because I was doing the showdown, and she got all mad at me. Hee.
Heh, you ARE shameless. I'm not quite to the fanfic stage for them yet! But I will admit I will never be able to watch Xander/Buffy scenes again without looking for secret shippyness now. Is there an lj comm for Buffy/Faith though? Because if there is, I'd be all over it.
P.S. I watched "This Year's Girl" and "Who Are You" again tonight, because of all this Buffy talk. Ha. Then followed it up with "Storyteller." (((ANDREW))).

Date: 2010-03-23 02:35 am (UTC)Sisters so rarely understand the importance of fandom things. My roommate asked what I was doing and my response was 'Uh... there are important things happening... on the internet.'
No worries! I wouldn't want to rush you. It's best to just let those B/X thoughts settle for a bit.
Those are all such a great episodes. Both Eliza and Sarah pull off the switch acting perfectly. They really should get some more credit for their amazingness. ANDREW IS THE BEST. (Not to continue to taunt you with comic details, but there is totally a comic where Andrew makes another documentary. Just saying.)

Date: 2010-03-23 06:49 am (UTC)Word! Finally, someone I can admit to having both Luke/Lorelai & Christopher/Lorelai fanvids in my youtube favorites! Hee.
'Uh... there are important things happening... on the internet.'
Ha. I can imagine the reaction you got. "Uhh, all righty then. You have fun with that."
And yay, a Buffy/Faith comm! Thank you! I will SO be joining it.

Duuuuude, really? One more reason to get back into them then.
