Good evening, dear colleagues!
I am Happy to say that I am now in possession of Polls, and inspired by my Delightful colleague @fol-de-lol‘s Advent Trivia Questions, I am Proud to Announce:
THE GREAT JOHN-OFF OF ENGLISH MAGIC
38 Johns, Jonathons, Johnsons &c. from both Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and The Ladies of Grace Adieu will, over the next few days, battle it out to become The Ultimate John!
The brackets were chosen by a mixture of random number generator and personal choice on my part to make the different rounds as interesting as possible.
This post will link to all active polls, once they are posted.
