I would second Orlion, but apparently the rules forbid it.

My seconding hands are tied for the same reason.
Orlion, let's test these rules out; come and second yourself!

In any given categoryy, you can only nominate or second. Presumably, you'll vote for the name you put up, so why put forward another? Keeps the noms to viable picks.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

[quote="Iolanthe" Apparently Vraith has nominated me, but surely it is supposed to be funny ha ha,[/quote]
I think you are funny enough to be considered even if funny isn't the dominant mode of your post-expression. Deal with it.
Unless you want me to irrationally spew hatred everywhere about you, turning you into the Watch Anne Hathaway...hated without reason or purpose.
ZOMG!!!! Did you see Io's face after she got the nomination? I am so totally sure she'll fake again if she wins, then nearly and give a speech.

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

OK OK, I've started the list of people I have to thank, so I don't forget anyone, just in case.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Why,no one has nominated for Watcher of the Year.
you're not the only one like this)(I'm trying to make my mind up.)
Nominations for "Best User-Created Image," 2012I'm Murrin wrote:By the way, I still have no idea which category I should nominate wayfriend's Chrons/Spongebob parody.
Edit: And there's no art category! Only parody art...
And I kicked myself mentally several time for not thinking about poetry and songs then - when nominating the categories. Such things tend to be understood when it's late

After I nommed "Agony Sheep's advice column" for "Best Mallory's Game," it was mentioned:
[Syl], Menolly, or anyone who can answer this question with decent certainty...
now that it's been nommed and seconded, is it too late for me to backpedal, take it out of "best mallory's game," and nom it in the humor category?
This makes sense to me.murrin wrote:(though I would maybe have put it in Humor Thread).

Don't know!
I suspect he would, if he's online in time, but haven't asked him!
May not be time before the nom's close..
Glad to see good things in both of those categories... so at least one should have TWO options for voters to choose between.

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

FYI...
I'm doing my best as far as putting the accepted seconded nominations in the category summary post at the top of each category. However, I am uncertain on the rules regarding nominating or seconding ones own post, thread, artwork, etc. So there are a few categories where seconded nominations have not been listed as accepted yet.
I have a question in to the sheriff regarding it. I am hopeful to have answers prior to the end of the nominating process tomorrow.
