Who do you love? Our Readers’ Choice awards. (Updated with official quick tally)
On the occasion of the 5th anniversary of Jessica Rules the Universe we’re presenting 5 specially-designed trophies in 5 categories to 5 of our favorite readers and friends. Two of those awards will be chosen by you, our readers.
Readers’ Choice: Favorite Subject
We’ve covered a wide range of subjects in this blog, from abel to Zobel. Who are the people you enjoy reading about the most? Please list up to 5 names in order of preference (1=highest).
Readers’ Choice: Favorite Commenter/Contestant
We’ve also gotten to know many of our readers, particularly those who post comments regularly or participate in our online challenges. Who are the readers you look forward to hearing from the most? Please list up to 5 names in order of preference (1=highest).
Post your choices in Comments. We’re accepting votes until 10 pm tomorrow, Thursday, 3 November 2011. The winners will be announced at our 5th anniversary party on November 10.
Vote! Quick!
* * * * *
Update, Thursday, 3 November 2011.
With less than seven hours left before we close the voting, here are the leaders in the race for Favorite Subject. We assigned 10 points for each first preference vote, 8 for second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth, and 2 for fifth.
Note: “Movies” and “Books” both received many votes, but as we said, the award has to go to a human being (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Fyodor Dostoevsky). If you voted for “Movies” or “Books” you could reassign your votes to people. “Cats” also received plenty of votes, but they will boycott the proceedings.
Poll leaders (It’s close)
1. Auntie Janey, advice columnist and promoter of The Rules.
2. Teddy Boy Locsin, public intellectual, scourge of the stupid and arrogant, our Jedi Master. We disagree with him frequently, but no one can flay people alive in a few sentences like he does.
3. Jessica’s Gay Friends, our think tank and army of fabulousness.
4. National rugby team, cute jocks.
You have six hours to cast your votes.
* * * * *
2238hrs. Voting is now closed. The winners will be announced at the 5th anniversary party.

Shattered I couldn’t come – I won one of your contests 5 years ago and had to trudge along some pretty dodgy roads to get to Anvil Publications for my signed book. I still have it with me, although I don’t read it as much, it gives me the chills.
