This is our first round for officially taking nominations for the kOscars for Diary Series and Commenters. On February 8th, I posted Daily kOscars: Commenters & Series, where we discussed what should be the award categories for Diary Series and Commenters.
On February 9th, I posted Daily kOscars: Revised Commenters & Series Categories, which presented the revised list of categories based on the comments to the prior diary.
Today, we are ready for nominations! If you already submitted a nomination in one of these diaries, then it should be included in the lists below unless I missed or the nomination was for work not published in 2009. Also, if you nominated for series or commentators in one of LP's diaries, then please nominate again if not listed here because I did not read through all of his threads.
The schedule right now is noms diary by LaughingPlanet on Wednesday and I have finally noms diary on Thursday. This weekend we will be constructing our polls for voting, and then hope to open voting on Monday. Voting will remain open for quite a few days and then awards announced on March 7th.
