Top 5 Quentin Tarantino Characters
1. Jules Winfield
2. The Bride
3. Lt. Aldo Raine
4. Seth Gecko
5. Stuntman Mike
No one replied or offered up their list, but I was not deterred. So, Monday morning came and I posted this:
Top 5 Stephen King Books
1. It
2. The Stand
3. The Green Mile
4. Christine
5. Insomnia
Yay! I got a response! Here are the lists from Monday 7th May:

Andy C. Dekens @andydekens
1 The Stand; 2 It; 3 The Shining; 4 Different Seasons; 5 The Tommyknockers
I thought it might be cool to give each book one vote to see what the favourites would be of the tweeps who offered up a list. Here are the results:
TWITTER'S #Clay5 Stephen King Books
1. The Stand (6 votes)
2. It (5 votes)
3. Different Seasons (4 votes)
4. The Tommyknockers (4 votes)
5. The Shining (3 votes)
Oh yeah, see what I did there? No split third place. I really want to try to have an overall Top 5, not seven or eight due to tied votes. I don't see them as ordered or anything, just the ones that got the most votes. Now, I thought I should do a music #Clay5 for Tuesday, so I picked the Rolling Stones as I thought they would have a broad appeal, and hopefully garner more lists.
Top 5 Rolling Stones Songs
1. Gimme Shelter
2. Emotional Rescue
3. Monkey Man
4. She's a Rainbow
5. Can't You Hear Me Knocking
It worked.

Cool bananas. Nice clean five there. Moving on to Wednesday, I thought I'd better try something different. Something that would appeal to those who use Twitter. Then I got it. Superheroes! Seeing as people were talking about The Avengers film and the upcoming release of The Dark Knight Rises it seemed quite topical.

There was a bit of discussion over who qualified as far as a superhero went, but I didn't limit it. Some argued that the lack of a superpower stripped a character of that title. Tell me than Iron Man and Batman aren't superheroes! I think they are just SUPER at being HEROES.

Now, for Thursday I felt that I needed to broaden the appeal even more, and I wanted to turn to cinema. So I thought, why not get the tweeps to wax patriotic?

There was a bit of back and forth about what was an Australian film or not. Did it need to be set in Australia? About Australians? Feature a predominantly Aussie cast? Well, I thought the big qualifier would be that it was an Australian production. For instance, The Matrix was filmed in Australia, but was a US production, so it didn't count. I used IMDb.com as my lighthouse in times of doubt. I wasn't sure about Dark City, but it listed the country as Australia, then USA, so I deemed it to be alright to include. Moulin Rouge!'s entry listed the country as being USA, then Australia, so I excluded it. It became a bit of a grey area, but the main thing was that I didn't want a film like The Matrix to be included, because it isn't predominantly thought of as an Australian movie. Anyhoo, the voting went like this:
Twitter's #Clay5 Australian Films
1. The Castle (13 votes)
2. Romper Stomper (9 votes)
3. Gallipoli (8 votes)
4. Chopper (7 votes)
5. The Dish (6 votes)
I decided to use a literary theme for Friday's #Clay5 and also decided that I would only do these on weekdays. I sent tweeps back to their childhoods and asked them to think about their favourite books. My picks for the final one for the week were:

I tried to encourage tweeps to vote for early childhood authors, but I wasn't being too strict. Everyone reads books at different ages. Not surprisingly, the outcome went like this:
TWITTER'S #Clay5:
1. Roald Dahl (19 votes)
2. Enid Blyton (14 votes)
3. Paul Jennings (8 votes)
4. Hans Christian Andersen (6 votes)
5. Beatrix Potter/R. L. Stine (6 votes)
So, yes, only 6 votes for the last three entries, bringing this list to have six in the Top 5. I just went alphabetically and made Bea and R.L. share the final ranking. Although, they are all equal fourth, if you're being picky. Anyway, that's how it all started, and thus ends the first week of the #Clay5. The next few blogs I do will only show the results, now that you have a taste for how things are done.
Thanks for listing your favourites!
