First round of the double hexadecifinals! Vote below. This poll will close when I post Round 1c, sometime tomorrow.

The criteria you should use for voting is which fandom in each pair you would rather see advance. If you have particularly good and/or bad reasoning as to why, you should share it in the comments!

Don't underestimate our hero just because they're young, naive, spunky, and have a name that rhymes with 'fluffy'! They have powers you never expected and enough determination to do anything.

n.b. I am not sure I'll be able to keep the descriptions up for all 32 matches, especially as we get to more fandoms I don't know at all, so if you have any ideas for upcoming match descriptions feel free to drop them in a comment!

Yeah, I voted for Naruto based on its quantity, quality, and variety of fanfic and thorough exploration of the time-travel, fix-it, and SI/isekai genres. It's also a fandom where you can find epic wish-fulfilment action-adventure fic with female protagonists, which is rare. (Canon may have done all the female characters dirty, but fandom grabbed them and ran away cackling madly. I like that in a fandom.)

I like Good Omens and wish it well, but it would take a lot more intense feelings than I have for GO to get my vote over the fandom that spawned Dreaming of Sunshine (and the resulting library of DoS-based recursive fic).

Yes, can't forget all the wonderful SI fic and great female character-centric fic :D
