I've been following these !!
BUT
I can't believe Haplo got taken out so early! NOoooooooooooooo way!
I think characters from books written longer ago are at a disadvantage ..............
Yep Mervi there are many matches that were pretty silly in their outcomes. (I think they call it the fanboy factor) You'd think even if the people voting didn't know the powers of the characters involved at least the OFFICAL WRITEUP would get it right. But often it didn't!
The match I couldn't decide on was Aragorn vs the Wee Free Men. Neither side has any super magical powers, but how do you measure a guy with a sword against a bunch of swarming tiny guys with swords??????
Also, I wish they had used a more interesting character from the Discworld. What about Death - ok a bit much - what about Susan Sto Helit with the time stopping ability thing? Or at least a wizard! THE BURSAR!!!!!!! Awesome...... He could use dried frog pills in his opponents drink .....
Hey I liked that livejournal of the author of the Temeraire book/s(?) (geees this Suvudu has also seriously added to my 'to read' list)
