Actually... as of 7:40 p.m. EST, we're winning.  ;-)

A pleasant surprise, actually.  Penny's been telling me for months 
that the fandom is pretty evenly divided on these issues, but I 
always felt as if I was on the "underdog" ship.  36 fans are a drop 
in the bucket, but it's still grin-inducing.

H/Hers--make sure you vote!  (Though I do believe that the R/Hers 
will win.  We're outnumbered!)

Thanks!  I didn't even think of them as a real ship.  They're 
actually a controlled variable.  Reasoning:  if I had to pair off R/H 
on the basis of canon, most of the couples in my fic *had* to have at 
least a smidge of evidence from canon.

Told you it's a science project.  ;-)

I doubt most no-shippers will vote.  Although--most of them are 
gracious enough to delete shipping posts.  To those who are 
complaining--please start a thread that's more to your liking.  
There's no law that says shipping and fanfic (my favorite two 
subjects) have to be the only conversations going on at a time.  
That's the best way to be a productive citizen of an online 
community.  JMO.
