Fic Of The Week - Week One Hundred And Forty Four

Sep 29, 2014 14:56

Despite the disappointing news of Ianto's loss to Spock in the quarter finals, I have rallied to bring you another very short fic for Fic of the Week. I simply don't have much time for reading right now, but I don't want to drop my weekly fic rec. At the end of the year, I might move to a fortnightly (every two weeks) rec to allow for reccing fics ( Read more... )

fic rec, fic of the week, reading

Personally, I think that poll was rigged, and I'll tell you why I believe that ( ... )

It's an interesting theory, though it could be that voting more than once just didn't count. BUT, I voted from two other old laptops of mine earlier and the percentages didn't change. Ianto did drop further behind by the close of voting though.

I don't know what to think, because I've always thought the Radio Times to be above that sort of thing. I do think that whoever set this up probably didn't expect Ianto to get so far in the contest. At the very least we've proved how popular he still is, and we certainly tried our best to get our Coffee King trough to the semis. If anyone was stupid enough to think that Gwen would beat Ianto, they were deeply mistaken!

Ianto did brilliantly, whatever the case. We kept him in the running, even against Spock, right to the end!

(We can't prove whether it was rigged or not, sadly. It'll be an interesting final though, Jack against the Doctor.)

You're right, there's no proof. But I do know on Saturday I voted Ianto up by a full percentage point, and Luke Skywalker up by about half, and the numbers did change.

It's just odd. I hate to call anything rigged or unfair because I like to think the good of people but it was really weird.

Oh well, you're right about one thing: Ianto got really far, and I doubt anything thought he would. It's awesome. :)

Rigged or not, we made our voices heard, loud and clear! Ianto made it to the final 8 out of so many and don't forget, he beat Rick Deckard in the first round!

Ianto Jones is loved ♥ =D
