Fourth group of Round 1! Vote below. Okay, I know I've been saying I'll close posts after 24 hours, but post 1 is still getting a trickle of votes, so I guess I will keep them all open until tomorrow evening. Last round had our first real nailbiter: SPN vs MDZS, and it's still anyone's game there! I will be extremely tempted to time the poll closing so my fave wins, but maybe by then it won't be that close anymore.

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!

This poll is closed.

They're chosen to be the very best at what they do, and they're going to break new ground doing it.

Challenge accepted! :P

Okay but also its been forever, BUT: the request does not specify that Lord and Lady have been to be together, so that fixes the no polyamory or cheating; the Knight is having one-night stands and not entering relationships, so it's not on that side either. If the head grows back/grows another body from the head, you don't have MCD (or MCR, for that matters. Or MCU), and also that would also fix the no-cheating and no-polyamory request with two pairings required. You can cut his head off multiple times and create multiple Knights, and this Knight does not have to be different from any other Knight! Perfect solution!

And as for the hunting without animal harm, we must be very quiet, we're hunting for truffles.

As long as you don't DNW backstory fic, I can still make the pairings work :p

I think a prompt fest where everyone's tongue is firmly in cheek and all keep to the spirit. I can't imagine the matching problems with an exchange, it would be very meta but also I imagine very frustrating.

I'm sure it's going to be buried by Star Trek, but sorry, TOS, much as I love you, Yuri on Ice gets my vote. It was made with so much love for the subject and attention to detail, and it was really exciting to watch it with everyone in real-time just as the fandom started exploding and every week was 'haha, this is... pretty gay? they're really laying the shipbait on thick for a sports anime, aren't they? you don't think...? WAIT THEY ACTUALLY KISSED?!'. (And also it was a nice happy place to have given Events in late 2016.)

40k+ works for a twelve-episode anime is a pretty impressive amount, too! It's one of those sources that has a lot of good gaps and opportunities for fic, I think.

Today I learned that YOI only has 12 episodes, wow. For the amount of fandom it has, and clips I've seen referenced from it, I'd thought it was much longer.

I think I might be the last person in the world who hasn't watched any SU, but I have watched a few Minecraft videos in an attempt to get into the game. Minecraft it is!

Fullmetal Alchemist and Ace Attorney both get nostalgia votes.

My full knowledge of Haikyuu is that it's a sports anime about baseball and that the Japanese voice actor for Bakugou in My Hero Academia voices a character in it. I had to go with Law and Order despite disliking Law and Order.

On the one hand, I'm sorry I missed voting on this one. On the other hand, now I don't have to pick between yuletide and arthuriana, and decide if the few FMA fics I liked enough are enough to kick of Holmes, which has my feelings about certain adaptations dragging it down anyway. (Alas my vote for Haikyu over L&O wouldn't have helped bridge that gap)

I was going to vote for Minecraft over SU for the sole reason of one specific take I've seen in the SU fandom that bothers me so much. Not even an element of the SU canon! Or knowing anything about Minecraft other than the most basic basicness! Just, you know, that image of lightning striking water and the caption fuck these five fish in particular.
