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!

Oh no, Naruto! It's not the fandom I'm most passionately into, but I love the time travel fic it has, Sakura is my favorite power fantasy character, and Dreaming of Sunshine recursive fic is amazing. (Basically its own fandom at this point, but it wouldn't exist without Naruto so for the purpose of this poll...)

... It's also my safety fandom for exchanges. I can almost always match on Naruto (and/or Dreaming of Sunshine).

(I do mean to read the book of Good Omens eventually, but angels and demons are always a hard sell for me, and live action is worse.)
