TORTALL FANFICTION SMACKDOWN
Round Three Fight A - Winner Owen covers his mouth as the zombie walks towards him. The Lady Knight Sabine smells terrible, mostly due to her flesh rotting in the summer heat. She carries a staff in her hand, and while there are empty sockets where her eyes should be, the expression on her face is determined. He almost gags when she stops next to him, the smell nauseating him. “How dare you try to take Keladry away from me!” Sabine rasps, her hot breath blowing against his face making him turn green. He takes a step back, readying himself to attack her. “Keladry is mine!” Owen cries, taking a swipe at the zombie. Caught by surprise, Sabine gets hit in the face, her jaw crumbling under the force of his blow. She wings her staff at him, knocking Owen onto his feet. He looks surprised at her strength, and as she kneels on top of him to strangle him, Sabine gets distracted by the sweet scent of the young knight’s flesh. Grabbing his arm as he moves to hit her again, she sniffs his arm, and then bites it. Owen yelps and pulls his arm away before she rips out too much of his flesh, using her momentary confusion to knock her off him. He scrambles away from her as she picks herself up, and dusts off a clump of her hair from his tunic. Looking around, he sees a torch nearby. Grabbing it, he flings it at Sabine as she rushes at him and her decaying body is instantly aflame. Sabine screams as she is engulfed by the flames, the fire racing along her rotting flesh. Owen watches triumphantly as her body turns to ashes. “Looks like I won this round, Macayhill!” he cries out happily. FINAL TALLY Owen of Jesslaw: 60 Sabine of Macayhill: 48 Total: 108
VICTOR: Owen of Jesslaw
Owen will now advance to the Final!!
A big thank you to EVERYONE who participated.

Well I suppose Sabine never really stood a chance against the mighty Team Owen... Raoul vs Owen is going to be interesting!

Congrats Team Owen! Greenie and the others put up a great fight, they just didn't quite have the numbers in the end.

I confess, I usually scan the winner's fic, then go back and read it thoroughly because I'm on pins and needles (and because, well, I like even the ones who I don't write for!) - but this one stopped me in my tracks because the notion of Owen crying out happily that it looks like he won this round is adorably Owen. *loves*
Well done, Team Sabine! That last hour was a doozy!!!

Yay for Team Owen - and incredible job to Team Sabine, throughout all of SMACKDOWN, for defying all my expectations! I am, officially, impressed.

I guess I'll be putting aside my disgust at Kel/Raoul and write for Raoul in the finals--just so Owen won't win!

Or you could abstain... or you could convince Owen-supporters not to write for him...

Or you could abstain... or you could convince Owen-supporters not to write for him... How much would it take to convince you not to write for Owen? ...I have ten virgins and a camel.

Can I have the virgins?

Yes, but where would you keep ten virgins and a camel? In seriousness, though, I think most of us have been enjoying Smackdown as a celebration of characters and pairings we like. I hope it can stay that way in the final round! If no one you like is still in the running, by all means, write for the team you dislike a little less. But it's just unsportsmanlike, and not fair to the people who genuinely like that character, if you announce that that's what you're doing.

Well said, Nicki.
Er, isn't the obvious place for ten virgins and a camel under my bed?
