Anti-Fanfic Bingo Poll Row 4

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

As ciderpress, bethbethbeth and femmequixotic have noted in the polls for Row One, Row Two and Row Three already this week, we're drawing the Anti-Fanfic Bingo response challenge to a close after three weeks of lively discussion and intelligent and often downright hilarious responses ("Ah, fuck you!").

Throughout this week, we'll be asking you to vote for your favorite responses to each square, one row at a time. Please check your favorite responses (as many as you like!); we'll be collecting the results and announcing the favorites at the end of the week.

Again, many thanks to ithiliana, half_elf_lost, kitsune13 and cofax7 for creating the card and giving us permission to use it.

If you don't have an LJ, please feel free to leave your responses in a comment below. We'll be including all responses in the final tally!
