How many issues must be released for a mini to be counted in this year's awards?

[KJS1982]

Is it essential that we answer all 22 nomination questions in the comic nominations thread?

I really couldn't possibly give an answer to them all, as I'm not familiar with certain aspects of the comic world, but I would really like to nominate in certain areas.

At least one issue has to have been released in 2007 to be eligible.

As stated in the rules, you can nominate in how ever many categories you want.

Aha, so that's where I thought I read it originally.

Thank you kindly.

8. Favorite Original Graphic Novel/Trade
What stand-alone, long-form comic had you loving it to the end?


What about a series that's only released in trades? A single volume in that case isn't stand-alone, per se, but I'm also not seeing anywhere else to put it.

I can see what you mean by the wording being a little confusing. I'll edit it so it can include original long-form books that are in a series.

11. Favorite Comics Cover/Book Design

Do we have to specify an individual issue, or can we just nominate a title in general?

Well I was hoping people would vote for a specific cover hence the qualifier I added in the description.

[Schuimend Mormel]

Are we supposed/allowed to add a little explanation to our nomination, to clarify why we nominate something/someone? Or will that happen during the actual voting?

You can add a explanation to your nomination if you want.

[Schuimend Mormel]

Cool, thanks. :)

No category for best username this year?

[Jack Zodiac]

No category for best username this year?

No "poster you'd most like to (blank)" categories, either. Which sucks, 'cause I totally wanna blank you, man.

[Brandon Hanvey]

Yeah we trimed a bunch of categories this year as well as adding a couple.

[Deathstroke]

Seems like a lot less of the interesting categories got trimmed.

[howyadoin]

Yeah we trimed a bunch of categories this year as well as adding a couple.I figured it was just part of the ongoing effort to get everybody usng boring usernames.

Okay, why do we have to pick the listed choices or abstain? What happens if want to choose something other than what's in the final 3 because we didn't read them?

Then abstain. You can only pick one of the selections or not during the finals.

Oh, ehm... OK, I fell like an idiot right now... I go edit that post...:o

You're going to lose a lot of people and their votes that way - who want to choose something else other than what's been listed! :mad:

That is why we had the nomination phase. People could nominate whatever they wanted in that round. The top selections then get voted on in the finals.

[Brandon Hanvey]

To the person who wondered why Immortal Iron Fist was not up for Favorite New Series. Technically the first issue came out in late 2006 so it was ineligible for that category.

Okay, what happens to the ones that don't make it to the finals then?

[Brandon Hanvey]

Okay, what happens to the ones that don't make it to the finals then?

Nothing really. They just don't get totaled in the final counting.

[Deathstroke]

Criminy, I thought the rules were pretty basic to understand.

[howyadoin]

Okay, what happens to the ones that don't make it to the finals then?All those books are cancelled, and the people who wrote and drew them are executed.

Then we burn down their houses, and salt the ground so nothing can ever grow there again.

So when are the poster and forum winners being announced?

Soon. I'm almost done counting. Should be either today or tomorrow.
