why use a survey to eliminate ships for the even and not just the number of fanfics like most other rarepair weeks do

Random ask months after the event is over but sure I'll answer.

So when preparing for this event I had originally intended to do this! However, the TF2 fandom isn't as big as you or many might think it is (at least fan fiction wise!). For example, here are the fan fiction counts for other "larger" fandoms:

And here is the fan fiction count for TF2:

As you can see, there is a BIG difference here. Now this is just from AO3 and just fan fiction. But trying to find a way to appropriately and fairly dictate how popular a ship is another way ends up being a issue since the TF2 fandom is both very spread out and very diverse. TF2 Twitter is much different than TF2 Tumblr and TF2 Reddit (etc). As you could probably assume, trying to look at the number of fan art for certain ships would have been nearly impossible and extremely time consuming.

There is also the issue of looking at the "most popular" ships according to AO3:

If you look, you can see that one of the ships listed is a platonic ship (Scout & Spy) while the other is an X Reader (Medic/You). On top of that, there is a HUGE drop from Scout/Sniper, with 762 fan fictions, and Demoman/Solder, with only 287 fan fictions. That drop is not only incredibly large, but feels almost wrong considering how popular Demoman/Soldier is looking at the large scheme of things.

If there was more TF2 fan fiction posted onto AO3, I probably would have used that. But since there isn't, I felt like the alternate way was the better option. Once again I did use sodafrog13's ship survey to help dictate the disqualified ships as well as my own. So I tried to do the best I could with the information given, whether or not it was good is debatable but oh well.

My observation from reading the rp asks from these blogs……they’re so damn goofy (with a pinch of angst)

Gaz is obviously really nice and sweet and lovely but he also does give me the vibe of someone who like, if you were with a group of people jumping off somewhere high into water and you were scared and hesitating he'd absolutely delight in shoving you in. Like you come up later yelling at him and he goes 'i was just trying to help you!!! I'm sorry :(!!!' but he's not. He will take more opportunities to scare the shit out of you just to hear you squeal. The sooner you catch on the sooner you can put a stop to it because he doesn't want you to think he's mean or anything... He's not, but he's just the slightest bit of a sadist.

how some people in the gotham fandom expect me to react when they try to ambiguously write about a spoiler in the comments/reblogs of my liveblog (they dont know i have a brain and can easily guess the spoiler)

Thinking of making one of those life series askblogs with all the dead characters in some form of afterlife. They’re really fun and things like that have been in my head since Last Life started so if anyone’s gonna jump on that you know it’s me (especially since I’ve run 3… successful enough ask series in the past).

I think it's better if Magolor tells you himself...

I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.
