Always vote where you're given a chance to vote:

- Livejournal representative vote.
- Already voted? No problem! Go here to change your vote.

[livejournal.com profile] bookshop has given us a breakdown of the candidates positions/nonpositions on fandom here: Here. [livejournal.com profile] wistfuljane has a very organized list of resources and commentary here.

Looking for more info? Check out [livejournal.com profile] fandom_votes ([livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn explains the concept here). Also check out the candidates' platforms.


Who did I vote for?

[livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy. Specifically she is old school Star Wars and has been in HP slash fandom for years. She is also an LJ Support Team member and states explicitly "I want to start by saying that I am running to essentially be an advisor. I am not running to push a personal agenda of mine. I am not running to push fandom's agenda. I am not running to push any agenda." Here is her Platform.


Public endorsements for Legomymalfoy: )


Public endorsements of RM: )


Public endorsements for Squeaky: )


General statements of support for a fandom candidate: )


Public statements against Jameth's anti-fandom stance: )


Who am I voting against? [livejournal.com profile] jameth. He's had an ongoing negative campaign against other candidates, especially [livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy, and has this gem of an egotistical post about the elections, or rather, himself. He's also a member in [livejournal.com profile] rape_an_ljer. What's that? ETA: Ah, hell. His supporters are deliberately putting "seizure moment" flashing Jameth icons in an epileptic's journal, where she says that she has epilepsy. At least one epileptic's been affected, she's had the visual effects (she's turned off graphics for now), and they've triggered migraines (which is neurologically similar). [livejournal.com profile] jameth has shown up in comments to banter with them and told [livejournal.com profile] rydra_wong it's her problem.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] jameth has 1725 votes. [livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy has 1553 votes. No one else is even in the ball park. And now... Jameth has 1877 votes and Legomymalfoy has 2124.

Your choice. Someone in fandom with a reasonable attitude about not pushing any particular agenda. Or someone who draws stick figures about how the smart money is on him.
