April's Austen Adventure
(I like alliteration.)
Hello dear beforetv members! Your friendly neighbourhood mods, empressearwig and I have decided to do something a little different this month. As you can guess from the subject of this post, we're having an Austen themed month. BUT THERE'S MORE. To make things more interesting we're going to have a March Madness-esque showdown of Austen's characters (we're aware that it's April. Just go with it). Think f_march_madness but for Austen characters.
The bracket is as follows:

The schedule:
How to Play:
1. In the bracket sheet above, each bracket is a single match-up. Choose which character you think will win in the polls and move them forward to the next round, until you FILL OUT THE ENTIRE SHEET, FROM NUMBER 1 TO NUMBER 63.
2. Copy and paste the following into a comment:

IMPORTANT: The post for the office pool will close NEXT SATURDAY April 9th. Please make sure to fill out your bracket in THIS POST. It will make things easier for the mods when we are calculating winners.
The winner will get to decide what book we read in May!
3. Follow along with the polls! Campaign for your favourite characters! Trash talk the others! etc. etc. you know the drill.
4. There is no one book for this month. Read some Austen. Watch a movie or mini-series. Whatever. It's up to you. I will be finally conquering Mansfield Park. I promise you that.
5. That's it, that's all! Have fun.
