Poll Week 1 Poll
ETA (because it isn't Week 1 without it!):
1) Voting contestant raven_tiger's link was omitted by accident. Since this was my error, raven_tiger will default into Week 2. Here is their entry for your reading pleasure and commenting.
2) chickybluesky87 had 24 hours of internet fail and was unable to submit her entry on time. She's receiving a one-time Get Out of Internet Fail Jail Free card and will default to Week 2, IN ADDITION to the regular count for Week 2. In other words, no one will be bumped for Chicky, but she will still get to have a shot at Week 2. Her entry is here for your reading pleasure and commenting.
Voting for this poll will close at 12 noon EST on Wednesday, 11/11.
