Shiplympics

Are gigantic and yet Snowman/Slick is still one short of a confirmed team (which ties it with MsPaint/Slick and if that gets in but Snowman/Slick doesn't I will rage. Triply so if it turns out to be people doing it because they couldn't get PS/SS). Also, looks like PM<3WV isn't going to make it, although PM<3WV<3AR is apparently full, so maybe people will shift around. Actually, do people prefer being on full teams? Presumably? I'd rather a team with fewer people to get bonus points and a better chance that my own stuff would actually get into a round.

Looks like the Arada<3Droog is doomed since there's only one person. Shame, I was curious what they'd produce. And Jack doesn't even appear. But that means no Jack/PM so I guess I'm okay with things there.

Doing a quick page search of confirmed teams:
♥ 86 times
♦ 8
♠ 9

...huh, that'll be kind of dull. Maybe it's time to give up the idea this is about celebrating all the quadrants and go for celebrating all the quadrants that aren't exactly the same as normal romance.

Nonconfirmed has more variety:
♥ 85
♦ 32
♠ 19

but so far the two to graduate are both <3 so things may not change much.

And so far it's 35 het to 19 f/f to 29 m/m (ignoring the 3+ ships). That's more balanced than last year.
