f_march_madness time again, always a mix of excitement and horror.
Actually, it's been interesting to watch this year - it's been dominated by female characters, and the chromatic character count has also increased due to the introduction of new fandoms like The Wire and Avatar:tLA. Both of those things please me.
We're now down to the final four, which is Hermione Granger vs. Leslie Knope and Donna Noble vs. John Watson. Donna is soaring to victory in her poll, I'm so proud. <3
Hermione vs. Leslie is basically a 50/50 split atm, it keeps swinging back and forth and is nail-bitingly tight. Now I've finally started watching Parks & Recreation I 100% agree that Leslie is a fantastic character and if she goes on to win the whole thing I'd be delighted because she's amazing.
But this is the part where I suggest voting for Hermione if you're remotely a swing vote, because she's been my hero since 1997 (side note - on June 30th it'll be 15 years since the first book came out, omg) and I love her.
Here's the LJ post and here's a direct link to the poll if you want to avoid all the gifs and comments and clutter. Polls close today between 1 and 2 EST.
Vote Hermione, guys. And I tell you what, Leslie would totally want you to.
If it is a Hermione vs. Donna final I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO AHHH. Also I really love that two of the final four are played by actresses over 40, eee.
Compare previous years: Spike vs. Dean Winchester vs. House vs. Barney Stinson in 2009, Sheldon Cooper vs. Temperance Brennan vs. Buffy vs. Veronica Mars in 2010, Sherlock Holmes vs. Eleventh Doctor vs. Troy Barnes vs. Veronica Mars in 2011. I like that we seem to be getting better at recognising a greater range of characters for being awesome in a greater range of ways.

*flails* You know, I totally couldn't make a choice there. I mean, Donna? I *love* Donna. And John Watson? Man, I would marry John in a minute. I have to love that two of my favourite ever characters made it so far, though.
