You're allowed to vote for the top 3 in your own set, too, sweetie. Everyone else did! It's sort of our alternative version of "artist's choice," I guess.

As far as posting polls for voting, I thought of that, too; but since neither she nor I are the actual owner or even moderators for this community, we might not even have the power to post polls to the community. I'm not sure how that works in Dreamwidth. It might be according to how the community owner set permissions in the community from the start, but I know there are other things we can't do that would really help us, such as screening comments during voting.
