Before I offer some Misc. comments here on the results I'd like to say
thanks to Scott, Sarah and eveyone that voted for putting togther this
poll. Let's hope we can keep this going (without causing too much trouble
to Scott or Sarah...:) 

36	90	Ah! My Goddess
33	83	Neon Genesis Evangelion
32	80	Sailor Moon
30	75	Bubblegum Crisis
30	75	Tenchi Muyou!

Hmm...A Mild suprise since AMG! has had a real downtrun in fic production
lately. I'd thought I'd see Sailor Moon or BGC take the number one
position in terms of readership. But I guess AMG still has the die hard
readership to pull in such a wider variety of votes. No real suprise on
the Eva front, that series continues to become a force in fandom. The
Tenchi move up the scale wasn't that big of a suprise though given the
rise in Tenchi fic's, but I expected KOR to draw more readers in than the 
21 (53%) it did get in.

 9	23	Hime-chan's Ribbon

BIG suprsie here, since I'd thought this series would be alot lower on the
peg and few other series to be higher up on the peg than this one. Instead
it pull ahead of stuff like the Mermaid Series, Miyu, Gall Force, Dragon
Ball/Sailor Moon, Gunbuster, and even Marmalade Boy. If anything I was
expecting 3-4 readers for this series...

Biggest suprise of the survey acctually.

 2 Sakura Blossoms in the Moonlight (Hime-chan's Ribbon) by Richard
	Beaubien

Okay, second biggest suprise....:P;;;
I mean this has actually placed better than alot of fic's involving the
big names (SM, TM, KOR, etc...). It joins Orange Marmalade and SKJAM's
Minky Momo Fic as being the most non-main stream of the fic's out there.
And quite frankly I'm suprised as hell it even got one vote, let alone
2....

Hmm...Does this mean Hime-chan mania is sweeping the nation? Nahh, but
it's nice to see this and a few other lesser known series get a bit of
regocnition among the bigger series out there....

Now I wonder if a Miracle Girls fanfic can pull of a such a feat next
year...:) 
 
Ja ne!!
