I need a second

Post by Menolly »

Whelp...

I'll have to don my flame suit on the general Watch, but I nominated Zahir's dissection of Chapter 10 Halloween for the Best Chapter Dissection Watchie for 2007. I would really love for someone to come second the nomination...

OK, I am not going to even suggest how anyone votes, but I will point out that the voting for the Watchies is now open until a week from today, Sunday, 2/10.

...good luck, Zahir...

*reminder*

The voting deadline for the Watchies is midnight Sunday, across all time zones. Again, I am not telling anyone how to vote, but as of Friday night, 9:15 pm EST, Zahir is only off a tie for the lead by one vote!!

You can see how the polling is going, and vote if you haven't done so yourself, at Best Chapter Dissection.

I do hope you all take part.

This is it, all.

The deadline for voting in the 2007 Watchies is tonight at midnight, across all time zones. So if you miss it, you can probably still vote until whichever Pacific time zone is the last before you hit New Zealand.

So for EST zone, that would be up to 6:00 am Monday morning, I think...

uh-oh...
Only vote once.
That's in the rules.
But yeah, don't wait until the absolute deadline to vote.

(I have been so tempted to sign in on my various accounts and multiple vote in several categories, but I have been good and not done so)

*soft smile*

I am pleased.

I was waiting for the official results to post anything here. I am concerned about rumors of multiple account voting. I have no idea if the mods of that forum, or the admins, have ways on checking up on the possibility, if it did indeed happen at all.

And, a comment was made early in the nomination thread about the appropriateness of even posting a non-Donaldson dissection there at all. As I replied, I had enquired and was told that was the place for it. But...I almost fear a backlash.

We shall see what all happens once results are officially announced.

In the meantime, congrats (again, as I already did so privately) Zahir.

Well, rats.

I didn't realize the two parts of danlo's dissection would be combined into one. But, you had a really, really strong second place showing, Zahir. For a non-Donaldson dissection on a Donaldson forum, I find that extremely impressive.
