So, how did I reach these astonishing and exciting results?
I got lists from 10 fellow tyrants (including me) - which presented a problem because the spread in entries was too wide for this sample. In retrospect, I should have narrowed the category to just games or TV or movies. The result is that everybody's Top 3 made it into the list, since just being in the Top 3 guaranteed you enough points for a spot in the Top 50. Also, lots of ties, and the top entry only has four votes.
On the other hand, at least everybody's favorite made it in.
Anyway, we had 170 nominees. Ties in points were broken by number of mentions - if that wasn't enough then we had a tie, but I'd order them according to the number of works at AO3. I didn't want to use AO3 as a tiebreaker because it's not the fault of many of these old ships that young kids these days have no taste for the classics.
Anyway, here are the full entries - while they are numbered, I didn't bother checking for tie breakers below 50, so some of these places after 50 might be wrong.
