Top Femslash Ships Bracket: Seeding
As promised, we're back with a new bracket! However, we're doing things a little differently this time. Rather than taking the data for seeding directly from a ranked list, we want you guys to be a part of the seeding process!
> Here is the Femslash Bracket Seeding Survey! <
This survey contains a list of over 100 ships, pulled from centreoftheselights's AO3 ship stats for 2023 and 2024, and Tumblr's year in review, as well as a few submissions that are not on either list but are considered iconic or historically important. It asks two questions: which ships have you heard of, and which ships do you view positively? The final seeding for the bracket will be based on a ratio of these numbers, from which we will rank the top 96!
A few notes regarding this survey:
Please answer as honestly as you can! Yes, that does mean going through a long list of ships twice in order to check all the relevant boxes, but such is the price we pay for accurate data.
Please only submit the survey once! While we normally delight in voter fraud, artificially boosting your favorite ship in this survey will only skew the results with no benefit; in fact, it could potentially hurt your chances in the actual bracket!
Do, however, feel free to reblog this post so we get a larger sample size.
The form does require that you be logged into a Google account; however, we are not collecting email addresses, and responses will be fully anonymous.
As always, this poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.
We will be collecting responses until December 22, at 11:59 pm EST.

An update: unfortunately, due to mod schedules, we are having to accelerate the timeline of the bracket. The seeding survey will have to close two weeks earlier than anticipated, on December 22. Afterwards, we will take some time to crunch the numbers for the bracket, and polls will begin on December 26!
Currently, we have over 1200 responses submitted! We're looking forward to seeing how many we can get with in the remaining week!

Hello, for the femslash survey you have to be signed in into google to be able to answer. I dont have a gmail or a google account. Is it possible to make it accessible without having to sign in? Thank you
Hello! The sign-in requirement is in place to prevent spam and limit the number of submissions to one per person. Unfortunately, this does mean that the survey will be inaccessible without a Google account. Apologies for the inconvenience; we do what we must for the sake of clean data.

I know it's too late but Mizi/Sua from Alien Stage, as a famous canon lesbian main ship, might be good to add to the survey.
Sadly MiziSua do not approach the numbers of our other competitors in terms of Ao3 fics or Tumblr followers.

Hi, hoping you can clarify something about the femslash ships survey! The first question says both "which of these ships have you heard of" and "if you are aware of the characters at all, please check the box" which is two different questions. If we've heard of the characters but had no idea anyone shipped them, do we check the box or no?
Go ahead and check the box if you've heard of the characters!

Update: after some consideration, we have re-added the ship to both questions, as well as included some additional. We recognize that the ships added later will take a hit in the numbers, as they won't be included in the initial responses, but since the survey will be open for several weeks, they will have plenty of time to catch up!
idk if it matters but in the survey the ship of sakura and ino from naruto are in the list of "positives" but not on the first list of "do you know them" , just in case it wasnt intentional
That was an error on my part! They have since been removed from the form to maintain consistency.

Top Femslash Ships Bracket: Seeding
As promised, we're back with a new bracket! However, we're doing things a little differently this time. Rather than taking the data for seeding directly from a ranked list, we want you guys to be a part of the seeding process!
> Here is the Femslash Bracket Seeding Survey! <
This survey contains a list of over 100 ships, pulled from centreoftheselights's AO3 ship stats for 2023 and 2024, and Tumblr's year in review, as well as a few submissions that are not on either list but are considered iconic or historically important. It asks two questions: which ships have you heard of, and which ships do you view positively? The final seeding for the bracket will be based on a ratio of these numbers, from which we will rank the top 96!
A few notes regarding this survey:
Please answer as honestly as you can! Yes, that does mean going through a long list of ships twice in order to check all the relevant boxes, but such is the price we pay for accurate data.
Please only submit the survey once! While we normally delight in voter fraud, artificially boosting your favorite ship in this survey will only skew the results with no benefit; in fact, it could potentially hurt your chances in the actual bracket!
Do, however, feel free to reblog this post so we get a larger sample size.
The form does require that you be logged into a Google account; however, we are not collecting email addresses, and responses will be fully anonymous.
As always, this poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.
We will be collecting responses until December 22, at 11:59 pm EST.
Take the survey here!

If we win this bracket, then in addition to Top Femslash Ships (which we're already planning next), we'll also run a Top Platonic Relationships Bracket in 2025.
@ao3topshipsbracket @girllbossmalewifeduos
Reminder to be kind and civil. These are real people and we dont need any arguments.
ao3topshipbracket propaganda:
god this bracket's datavis was so sexy. they had LIVE UPDATING GRAPHS.
"voter fraud has always been allowed. blackbonnet will advance until it is beaten" is the funniest mod ruling i have ever seen in my life.
if you have time to send death threats, you have time to do voter fraud!!!!!
they've run two brackets (ao3 top ships in 2023, tumblr top ships in 2024). BOTH brackets had insane site-breaking discourse, and yet the mod team is still going strong and promising a return next year. no other big poll bracket does it like these guys do it
Very awesome, very cool, good ships

When’s your next tournament?
Probably some time after the new Tumblr year in review drops in December, depending on the mod team's schedule!

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but what will happen to ships like Johnlock & Sterek that lost early? Will they still be allowed to compete against other ships next year if there is another bracket?
Only winners are eliminated from future polls; any ship that lost might appear in a future bracket! Plenty of ships from the AO3 bracket returned for the Tumblr bracket, after all. Other than kicking out previous winners, we start fresh each time, with a new contestant pool drawn from new data.

Are you planning on doing a pure live action ship tournament, without all the anime/cartoons who normally end up high ranked?
We've been choosing and seeding ships based on AO3 and Tumblr data, neither of which make any distinctions regarding media type, and we have no plans to do so either; part of the fun of it is throwing ships with vastly different audiences against each other, after all!
Regarding our plans for the future: well, first we're going to be taking a nice long break. Partially to let the hubbub die down, but mostly because 2023 has been over for a good while now, and we want to wait for some more current data to work with! That being said, we've already done brackets based on seeding straight from the top ship lists, and we wanted to go with something different for round three. And after the seeing the energy from this bracket, it was a pretty easy decision to make.
So expect us back likely some time after December with the Top Femslash Ships Bracket! We can't wait!

This time around:
Mod 1: as with last bracket, my main fave was hannigram. this is due to the fact that i am a pretty well-adjusted and normal guy.
Mod 2: the one i was rooting for to begin with was destiel bc i was kind of sad that it lost so early last bracket despite its iconicity, but i was super impressed by sulemiosweep and just glad we made it to second place this time!
Mod 3: Sulemio. Run you gain one, move forward you gain two.
Mod 4: Hualian SWEEP! Everyone read Heaven Official's Blessing now please and thank you
Mod 5: I recently read Homestuck and am currently reading TGCF, and am very fond of davekat and hualian— but I've been a Nimona fan for almost a decade. It was born on tumblr, and grew up so much that it's now an award-winning movie. Ballister and Ambrosius are very, very important to me.
When the tournament is over, will you tell us what ship you were hoping would win?
I could!

Bonus statistics: the Really Funny Graph Awards
As I've pointed out before, it's often hard to notice voter fraud— even in large quantities— if you can't see, not just how many votes came in, but when and in what patterns. Accusations of fraud don't track fraud, they track controversy; the most fraud often happens in polls that nobody particularly objects to, because nobody was paying attention.
Unless you have a graph in front of you. Fortunately, we do! So here's a brief review of the graphs that made it very, very clear to the mod team group chat that someone was playing silly buggers.
Round 1:
Davekat vs Zolu would almost even look natural, if it weren't for that enormous spike at the day 4 mark. But what a spike! And Akeshu vs Supercorp has those spikes in the middle, but the beginning stages of the graph look maybe fine... if you weren't watching for the first two days, and didn't get to see the progression:
Round 2:
This, on the other hand, couldn't be mistaken for natural by anyone. Look at this nonsense. The stairstep lines! The sharpness of the peaks! The sharpness of the dropoffs, which is how you can tell that this isn't just the poll being reblogged by large accounts, it is one person putting in truly insane amounts of effort! The fraud continuing long after Hualian had a significant lead, apparently just to make sure Buddie couldn't possibly launch a counteroffensive! Isn't it beautiful!
Round 4-5:
And once again, Hualian voters— or, well, some particular Hualian voter— goes nuts. Usually in 1-day polls, the votes come in fast enough that even with a graph it's hard to see if anything's gone wonky. Not so here; that bend in both graphs at around the same time, where I can only assume our frauder stopped for the night and went to bed, is a work of art.
Round 6:
No visible irregularities in the graphs (I assume they were just happy with getting to the semifinals?) but I did see this ask pop up:
I didn't see responses from anyone who took them up on it.
Real talk: This sort of thing is the reason I run poll brackets. This is proof that one person with insane dedication and a lot of time really can be the backbone of a fandom. This is, and I know this is melodramatic but I am being entirely sincere here, a chart of human passion.
Davekat, Akeshu, and especially Hualian— someone loves you very, very much.
