Please feel free to skip over any pairings you're not familiar with or have little interest in.

Round 1 w/ tourney brackets for these 'ships can be found here. (I mistakenly had one 'ship duke it out in two separate match-ups in Round 2. That error has since been corrected so a couple of matchups may seem off to you. Don't worry! Everything is as it should be. Please let me know if you spot any other issues.)

( Round 3 - Part III )


The polling order is a little off tonight. Expect to see the Round 3 - Part II poll up tonight or early tomorrow morning. PLEASE PLEASE NO SOCKPUPPETS. I'm still sorting through everything weeks after. And it makes me sad and very very angry that THIS has put a stop to all the fun. So please please don't do it. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN! F - U - N!

Our latest poll has been re-opened. Sorry about the mix-up! It will remain open until 6 AM EST tomorrow to give those who missed out time to get their vote in.

We will be taking a short break once that poll has closed to sort out the votes from the last three polls. Socks socks everywhere! What turns out to be sock votes will be discarded and we'll announce our very first champions once we have a good handle on what to count and what not to count.

Thank you again for your votes!

( Congrats! )

Next Poll - Part III

So our first Round #2 poll closed and the pairings (under the cut) are the first to move on to Round #3 which will begin (hopefully) this weekend. Remember that the 'ship that survives their 3rd match-up will automatically make it into the final showdown (no matter if they are able to win their bracket or not).

( It only gets harder from here on out  )


( 2nd Round #2 Matchups  )



Thank you all for your votes and please keep your eyes open for the remaining Round 1 & 2 match-ups over the next few days. Get those pimp hats ready!

Don't worry if you haven't seen some of your picks in battle as of yet. We are still working our way through Round 1. Since our August deadline is looming, we've decided to run both rounds concurrently until we whittle our 'ships down for the eventual Final Battle. (Round 1 will continue as soon as I can get the next post up)

Please feel free to skip over any pairings you're not familiar with or have little interest in.

Still fighting to get those numbers down in order to move on to Round #2. You guys showed so much love for so many pairings. Ack! We're slowly getting there.

Please let me know if you find any errors. I'm working on three hours sleep so I may not have been all there while working on this. We thank you for your patience and VOTE! Grab those pimp hats and get ready to change some minds.

This poll will close at 10 AM EST, Sunday, June 7th, 2009.

In an attempt to whittle your live-action numbers down so that we can proceed with Round #2 next week, we've decided to set 32 matches (for live-action characters) instead of the 16 from the previous poll. This is preview of Tuesday night's poll. This Poll will open up promptly @ 10:20 PM EST, June 2nd, 2009. This gives you plenty of time to make your case for your favorite. *G*


My apologies for the spelling error on Matchup #48. It's 'Seishirou' not 'Seishorou'. Thanks for the heads up, hungrybookworm! Matchup #17, 'Brandon Walsh' not Wash. And finally (sigh) Matchup #19, Barnabas Collins/Maggie Evans from Dark Shadows not Visions Once again, my apologies. I hope to keep the errors down to '0' next time.

Members and watchers, please do us a favor and leave a comment with your top ten pairings/threesome/moresomes of all time from any fandom and any genre (fictional only please). We've got something up our sleeves but need your help in order to make it happen. Get ready for the battle to end all battles just in time to celebrate our fifth anniversary!

Thanks in advance.


I'll start us off


ETA: Wow! What a wonderful response to this post. We'll be disabling comments at around 10 PM EST tonight to gather up and sort all of your picks. Thank you so much!



AND THAT'S IT, FOLKS! VOTING IS DONE FOR NOW. Thank you so much for submitting your picks. Keep your eyes on this space over the next few days.

Welcome to the second Update Post at ship_manifesto.
Under the cuts we'll be listing all late manifestos and those that are due in the next few weeks.

Think of this as a friendly poke, a reminder, or a teaser showing you what's to come. For those whose manifestos are on the late list, please understand that a failure to contact us within 14 days after the date your manifesto is due means you lose your claim and the pairing is up for grabs again. We don't mind rescheduling if you're having problems, but we do need to hear from you.

We're also taking this opportunity to announce that May will be another "Free Month". Short on time, but still want to sing the praises of your favorite OTP/OT3/OT4? Step right up! Be creative! There are absolutely no rules, other than of course, respecting each other and behaving in an adult manner. You can write as much or as little as you want to, add screencaps or not, quote scenes that make you squee. It really is up to you. A post here is basically saying 'This is why I love x/y and why you should too.' How about the top twenty reasons why 'blank' deserves better, but you still can't help shipping them together? Maybe there's not much - or any! - actual canon for your crazy crossover pairing but you want to tell everyone why Faith Lehane(Buffy)/Dean Winchester(Supernatural) is the best pairing ever? This is the time and the place to do it.

"Free Month" runs for the entire month of May. I'll be around to approve posts on a daily basis, to prevent any possible flist logjams. *g*
