This term there was an average of 39 voters (810 votes across 21 polls). Fiction was just a SMIDGE more popular, overall, than artwork (395 votes across 10 polls, for an average of 40 votes for fiction, vs 415 votes across 11 polls, for an average of 38 votes for art).

The most popular art category was Best Character Portrait (44 votes), followed closely by Best Overall Art (43 votes), and Best AU/AR and Best Kiss (41 votes each), whereas the least popular category was Best Yaoi/Yuri (24 votes).

The most popular fic category was Best Oneshot (45 votes), followed closely by Best Lemon (44 votes), and Best AU/AR and Best Drama (43 votes each). The least popular category was Best Yaoi/Yuri (27 votes).

Compare this to the December 2008 term and there is a huge jump in participation ~ almost double in total, and a good 10 extra votes in all the categories. This is a great sign, obviously, and the more people who participate in the voting, the less ties will result - as this time, when there is only one runoff category instead of five.
