ROUND 2 PRELIMINARIES ARE UP

The second preliminary round (characters with 1 nomination/fandoms with 2 nominations) has been released! You can find the posts on my account, or under #ficmuse prelims. They're polls of 7 characters, and only the top contender in each poll will get a place in the tournament.

I've also added 4 more polls that I missed in the first preliminary round. It happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like the first round, polls will be open for a week. The final bracket will be released next Saturday, June 10th, and voting will start the following Monday, June 12th. Oh, and happy pride month!

Best of luck to your blorbos 🎶

ROUND 4 IS UP.

Links are above and under #ficmuse round 4. You have a week. Send me propaganda if you'd like. Good luck.

the moment you've been waiting for has arrived...

We have a bracket!!

Yeah. It's a 64-person bracket, the font is small, all that. You can try to zoom in, or there will be a list of matchups below the cut.

All but the first matchup have been randomly generated, please don't complain about the seeding or having to choose between characters. It just worked out that way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (ig you can complain about the first one)

Polls will be released Monday afternoon. The first round will once again be a week long, but after that we'll go to 24-hour polls until the final matchup.

May the best musician win!
