Please - pimp my poll? (the angst-queen run-off)

[djinanna]

So, in honor of liviapenn's post requesting Really epic hurt-comfort-- recs?, a totally subjective poll asking the eternal question, "In [fill-in-blank fandom] fanfic, who *suffers* better?!" Possible fandoms are limited to my biggest fandoms because I don't know who the angst!queens are in other fandoms; possible responses are kinda skewed because I'm a

I answered for the fandoms I knew, but my fandom is Doctor Who, and nobody angsts better than the Doctor himself. All that guilt and responsibility and tortured emo woe... It's overwhelming sometimes.

My other fandom is Firefly, and while I think fandom likes to have Simon *suffer* like there's no tomorrow, I think Mal, as a character, angsts a lot more in the canon.

Hi, here from metafandom! I just realized that because I am stupid, I forgot to check the first box - so just add an extra person onto that. Also, I didn't check anything for things that weren't my fandom (which were a LOT of them, actually). Apparently I suck at polls!

Oh, and I agree that Remus probably suffers the most in HP. Maybe this is just because I don't read enough non-MWPP fic though?

I'm slightly embarrassed that I have read extensively in all these fandoms. I didn't realize I was quite that big of a h0r. :D

The only one I had problems with was the SPN one. I'm so caught in the Sam-n-Dean stage of development I have a hard time seperating them for anything, even a poll. *rolls eyes at self*

On Buffy/Angel it's a tie. Angel has made a century-long career out of suffering, and is clearly the Angst King of all time, but then, Wesley won over an entire fandom's worth of fangirls by his suffering. Don't tell me that's not an impressive achievement.

Buffy, Cordy, and Xander had no chance at the prize. They're just too chirpy too really get into the woe-is-me mood set. Xander manages occasionally, but generally comes up wise-cracking.

Highlander: Richie...Frankly my most of my first fanfiction in Highlander were Richie suffering :)

As for Stargate Atlantis: Carson! Definitly Carson. Just look at the recent episodes.

Took other for Harry Potter...but only because I didn't find an option to skip the question.

Sentinel: And Yes Definitly Jim is the better one when it comes to suffering at Sentiel. The Weight of the world.

Angel/Buffy: Would have liked it split. Because Wesley does suffer very well. But Xander just did it better.

Pros: Doyle...Bodie is more one who gets angry

And since last weeks Torchwood: Captain Jack!

Due South: Vecchio I can't say a reason...but he wins.

X-Files: Heck because I mostly lived at the Mulder Torture archive for some time.
