NAVIGATION:
matches: poll posts without additional comments or reblogs
yuri propaganda: any posts regarding contestants (series tags are HERE -> [S1-3; S4-?] if you want to browse)
results: winner announcements for any completed match
knockouts: for shoutouts to the losing contestants & certain rejected submissions (knockout masterpost can be found here)
yuriposting: for any general reblogs about yuri as a concept
other polls: what it says on the tin!
asks / non yuri talk is tagged "stfu elly" for blacklisting purposes
if you don't want to see reblogs of poll posts, those are tagged "match boost"
aaaaand negative propaganda is tagged "anti propaganda" if you only want to see the pros and not the cons.
If I miss any CWs or you want to dispute the ones I've listed, please let me know; I try to be thorough, but my memory is a sieve and I'm not always exact.
Submissions are still open while the poll is running! Rather than any submission being unsuccessful, it just gets added to the spreadsheet for next time :)
Guidelines, submission form & additional info under the cut.
SUBMISSION YAYS:
Not limited to just manga; as long as we're talking GL (or, at the very least, comics about lesbians), manhua, webcomics & other non-japanese comics are fine!
Oneshots, anthologies & ongoing works are all equally A-OK.
While I ask that you don't submit straight up hentai, any amount of sexual content in a work is alright (just give a heads up 👍).
Titles that explore or touch on dark subject matter are fine (encouraged. even.), again just give a heads up.
SUBMISSIONS NAYS:
Stuff that's super short, I find, doesn't make for very fun competition, so while you're free to submit them and they'll still get a shout out, they won't be included in future polls. Not a strict rule, but let's say ten pages minimum.
Submit as many titles as you like, but number of submissions has little to no impact on acceptance, so no need to spam the same one.
Anything romanticising or sexualising incest/rape/grooming/etc will not be accepted; its a blurry line between that and having dark themes, of course, so acceptance and rejection are up to my discretion.
SUBMISSION FORM IS HERE: LINK
PROPAGANDA:
I take screencaps & go through series tags for the bulk of propaganda, but submitted propaganda is also readily accepted. All that stuff gets queued, but I share submissions right away.
Tag me in a post, send things via DM, or jump in the ask or submission box - any is fine! If it's been a minute and I haven't shared it, I probably haven't seen it; in that case just let me know directly.
CONTENT WARNINGS:
Polls give a general heads up of any notable warnings for the series in the post, but once they're out of the tournament, they get a more detailed recommendation post that's more specific and comprehensive.
That being said, some of these I didn't read a lot of, haven't read in awhile, or are still ongoing, so be please be cautious!
SEEDING:
Seeding is based on MAL ranking or, if there's no MAL ranking available, it's assigned a random number between 1500 & 10,000 and placed into the challonge bracket based on that.
OFFICIAL TIE PROTOCOL:
TIE IN THE MAIN BRACKET -> Treated as a double loss, aka both go to the Losers' Bracket in a three way match. Of the two that tied, the highest scorer goes back to the main bracket. The lowest scorer of all three gets knocked out.
TIE IN THE LOSERS BRACKET -> Treated as a double win, aka both go to the next round of the Losers' Bracket in a three way match. The highest scorer moves forward, and the other two get knocked out.
WHAT ABOUT A TIE IN THE THREE-WAY MATCHES? -> I have chosen not to think about that <3
WHAT IF, LIKE, THERES A TIE IN THE LOSERS BRACKET AND MAIN BRACKET IN A WAY THAT WOULD RESULT IN A 4 WAY MATCH? -> I delete my blog.
me: Man... i haven't really had any good jokes to post on here lately. i think i have a classic case of poster's block. how am i gonna get out of this slump?
the enchanted amulet around my neck that i found in the girls' love section of barnes and noble: *hums ominously*
me: you're so right queen blogging is the least of my worries when i yearn to feel the tender touch of a woman
vanessa hudgens if she was a horse: basically what we're gonna do is prance
apologies for still not catching up on yuri but immortal days off hiatus and still ignoring the main plot for a yuri flashback within a yuri flashback. i love love and i love hgg. so on and so forth.
