Well, I decided that if I'm serious about being in the filk community, I should vote on the Pegasus Awards, even if the likelihood of me actually going to OVFF is slim to none.

Figured it was. I don't see any other possible vote, either.

I'm leaning toward "X-Libris" on torch songs in part because it fits my definition of a torch song better than "Sex & Chocolate" or "Po' Boys" -- they're in the torch song style, but they're not about "carrying the torch" for someone in particular.

In a similar vein, the only two "battle songs" that really fit my definition are "March of Cambreadth" and "No Quarter"; I'm leaning toward the latter. The others describe battles, but they're not the kind of thing you sing going into battle.
