Request-a-thon Update
After some very intense voting, Pansy Parkinson took the lead at the last possible minute. I'm sure many of you are very excited by this... while you Percy fans were let down once again. :P
So here's what I'm thinking. Obviously there is a significant amount of interest in doing request-a-thons for all three characters we were voting on (though Luna got far less votes, I know that some people switched their votes), so I think it's only fair that we do a request-a-thon for each of them. Pansy, as the winner, will be the subject for this next request-a-thon, then we'll have a go at Percy, then Luna.
When the time comes for me to post the next poll, I would like to try something different... because I would prefer it if no one but me knew who was winning. We'll be using the special text entry box instead of those radio buttons, because I can turn off the visibility of those responses and they'll be easier to sort through than comments. If this doesn't make sense now, don't worry, I'll be talking about this again. But in the mean time, does everyone agree with the idea of not knowing who is winning? I personally feel like it'll reduce bias and also encourage more voting - and it'll be more exciting when I reveal the winner because you won't already know. ;)
Lastly, is anyone interested in having a doodle-a-thon? We haven't seen much art at this community, and I thought perhaps it might be fun to do request-a-thons for doodles instead of drabbles. :)
I will be setting up the Pansy Parkinson Request-a-thon shortly, so don't reply to this post with your wishes.
