SWEET SIXTEEN

Oh em gee, you guys. It's the sweet sixteen. The brackets are now all combined into one. Obviously JK Rowling and Suzanne Collins are ahead so far, but who knows where we will be by the time it's down to eight!

I'm having a really hard time with the Luna/Nancy match-up to be honest. Nancy is all about solving things and making sense. But I'm not sure you can make sense out of Luna.

QUEEN IRENE FTW!

I'm puzzled that Anne is winning so strongly over Alanna. Now I don't doubt that Anne can fight, but Alanna has LEARNED how to fight!

[esc_key]

She is *the lioness*.

[kiwiria]

Exactly!!! Next to that, the haughty indignation at "carrots" just doesn't measure up.

I have come to the conclusion that all my favorites are just not popular enough. :( Only three have made it this far and only one of those is in a position to make it to the next round. (GO SOPHIE, MEG & IRENE!!!)

I know that feel, bro!

[esc_key]

At least Meg is winning?

[hhertzof]

And may she continue to do so. :|

The only one I find really hard is Lyra v. Johanna. I think they're pretty evenly matched.

Vote for Alanna, y'all. Anne is great, but Alanna is a knight and this is supposed to be an actual fight. Tbh, Anne would probably forfeit and cheer for Alanna. (Sympathy for a fellow redhear y/y?)

[kiwiria]

YES! Exactly!

Alanna ftw. I mean Anne is awesome, but no way could she beat the Lioness!

And yet, you voted for Nancy Drew over Tiffany Aching? Obviously you felt that something about Nancy (perhaps her curiosity or observational skills) would allow her to win out over an opponent who is a witch with the First Sight, among many other supernatural abilities.

As your own vote shows, it doesn't always come down to whose fighting prowess is greater. (Otherwise, Attolia Irene would be wiping the floor with Violet Baudelaire in votes like she would in the cage.) Tenacity, creativity, wits, treachery, heck even luck all factor in. Plus, you know, don't forget to have fun.
