Calling it quits

 Well, I didn't think it would come to this quite so soon, but here we are.

After my issues with poll-maker last week - not to mention fighting a bug that knocked me out - I was ready to get back into the swing of things.  However, my computer felt otherwise, and now my templates used to help me get the matchups posted quicker are gone.  Given the difficulties in restarting the matchups after the extended break, I'm taking this as a sign to respectfully put an end to the battles, right off the high of Black Sheep getting retired.

I want to thank everyone who voted, submitted scenes, and participated over the 2+ (!) years that these have been going on.  I won't say that this will never come back, but it definitely will stop for the foreseeable future.

Have a good one!
