Alpha Showdown 2016 Starts May 23

logo

VBC: Home of Alpha ShowdownStart making bets and brainstorming your best pitches, because the Alpha Showdown starts next Monday, May 23.

This is the sixth (ed. note: DAMN!) Alpha Showdown. It’s been one of our favorite events, and every year proves to be a great way for fans to celebrate their favorite characters and help others discover their new favorite book boyfriend or bestie.

Speaking of besties, we have five phenomenal female alphas in the bracket this year, including Jane Yellowrock who had the most nominations. That’s right, Jane’s seated at No. 1. Can the others beat her? We have fresh blood this year like Naasir from Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series and all-time favorites like Barrons (Karen Marie Moning) and Bones (Jeaniene Frost).

Like last year, each battle will be open for two days, and we will leverage Rafflecopter for each poll. There’s a downside to this in that you won’t see real-time results (but watch @ChelseaVBC on Twitter for updates!), but two upsides. First, there will be giveaways and free books are awesome. Second, it alleviates the issues in previous years of people spamming the votes and causing some hard feelings between fandoms. We want this to continue to be a fun event for everyone. We continue to look for other great options here, and feel free to ping us with ideas.

Enough of the boring stuff! Let’s get to the details and check out this year’s bracket (click the picture to enlarge).

    Hmmm some interesting battles in first week. Kate Daniels may have a tough time with Naasir since I bet he will be a ladies favorite for a upset. It is good to see Simon Wolfgard make the list interesting to see how he does against Vlad. To bad Adam is not fighting Mercy LOL.

  2. Look at all that (girl) WOMAN power!

    ugh, don’t wan to see Adam vs Barrons, but Barrons will most likely win…and then have to deal with Mercy 😀

    If Vlad wins over Simon I want Charles to smash him ^^

    But then we have Kate vs Naasir…Kate? But then she’d probably have to deal with Rapahel…no idea who’d win this one

    Sooooo exctining!!!

    I can not wait to read the mercy thompson series or the Kane Malloy series…..
