YA Fantasy Showdown: Round 4: one day only!

August 21, 2010

Round 3 of the YA Fantasy Showdown is over and just four competitors remain! They’ve advanced to the semifinals (the previous post was incorrect; I apparently can’t read a tournament chart) and will face off in two final matches to determine who’ll go on to the final match to determine the last character standing. But first, the results of the quarterfinals matches:

Katsa vs. Jace
Predicted winner: Katsa
Voted winner: Katsa (75%)

Percy Jackson vs. Howl Jenkins
Predicted winner: Howl
Voted winner: Howl (60%)

Katniss vs. Eugenides
Predicted winner: No winner predicted
Voted winner: Eugenides (51%)

Aragorn vs. Alanna
Predicted winner: Alanna
Voted winner: Alanna (52%)

With Round 3 over, voting for Round 4 is open and will only go through the end of today (Saturday) , so be sure to vote now if you were planning to vote at all.

• Katsa vs. Howl Jenkins
• Eugenides vs. Alanna

Heather’s also been posting behind-the-scenes looks at how the YA Fantasy Showdown works from the creators’ end. She wrote about the structure and the battles, some battle stats, why they chose the characters they did, what she’s loved about coordinating this project, and a recipe she created for Katniss’s lamb and plum stew.
