That doesn't make much difference, they still overlap. So do Movies and Movie Characters, Anime and TV Shows, and Webcomics and Websites. There was even more overlap before stuff got weeded out. We tried to sort 'em into categories and then picked the best two from each category, but a) it was completely subjective, and 2) there were still bound to be plenty of similarities no matter what got cut.

There's always going to be some overlap with some themes. Though even some of the overlapping themes seem to have a different tone. Or at least, to me it does.
Anyway, just a reminder that you still have one more day before the polls close. I strongly encourage you to vote if you haven't done so already, even if you don't want to use all your votes.

...And the polls are closed! It seems, however, that we have another tie. Three other themes were left battling for the last two slots. I will create a tie-breaker poll for them soon. Winning Themes:- Books
- Mythological Creatures
- Cartoon Characters
Tie-breaker Candidates (need two):- Animals and Critters
- Science!
- 'Ships

Unless there's any objections, the first day of Spirit Weeks will be on Friday, January 25th as soon as the clock hits 12:01am PST. There is an overall schedule on the front page. Get ready, and spread the word!

My only concern was if two or more strongly overlapping themes end up making it in together, it would turn Spirit Weeks into the redundancy department of redundancy department. XD It would be like: Week 1: Cartoons Week 2: Cartoon Characters Week 3: Animated Movies Week 4: Anime and I would be all: D':

I don't think we had any/much overlap with this year's themes, but that's something I'll keep in mind for future events to keep that sort of thing from happening.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, shapeshifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. *Shwing schwing clang* Before the final blow was struck, I TWOAH open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law. Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku! (And I totally just wrote that up from memory.) Tomorrow. But I love the enthusiasm.

The schedule is posted in PST to avoid the issue with time zones. (Though off clocks may be another thing. xD )

*ahem* rawr. and *throws car* BLUE PUNCHBUGGY! I found this awesome picture of Stitch with a bunch of Weewoos. Which is way more awesome than that sponsor game on Neopets way back in which you would just surf for a while.
I've only seen the movie once, but I watched the animated series for... about as long as it re-ran on Family channel.
