Man that was tough! To all the nominees - you were all so great,

Sadly, I will be out of town on the 24th, and won't be able to attend the ceremony. So thank you in advance to whomever will be transcribing it - because I'll be anxious to read it! Last year's ceremony was hilarious! I laughed till my sides hurt.

Uh that was really hard to vote between all those nominees. Everyone chosen deserves it! Thanks to the team for making it so easy on the webpage!

I may or may not be at the ceremony...we'll have to see

Well, I just voted, but I noticed that the Nominees list (both on the official site and here on the boards ) didn't really have most of the links. It seemed odd, since they're all conveniently there on the eligibles list . Of course, Alt-Kcomm has a lot to keep them busy right now, whereas I have a good chunk of free time.

I figured it might encourage a few more people to vote if there was a linked list. So, here we go:

Best Commenter
(Links give you a list of the 50 most recent posts from each. The list is not complete, and not everything on the list is FDK. This obviously does not include FDK given privately, on other boards, etc. Posts made after April 30, 2006 are not eligible. Still... It's a start. Best I could do.

EDIT: You can also search for posts made in the Fanfic forum. Click the search link, leave the text field blank (or put in "FDK") and put in the member number in the last field. Member numbers for these boards are given next to the commenters' names.)

Have fun voting, FoLCs, and good luck to all the nominees!

Paul

Thanks, Paul!

I started to vote last night, but wanted to check out the nominees again in several categories, but what can I say ... I was too lazy to back check on each nominee and so gave up.

So mega thanks for making it easier.

c.

Paul, you're a star! Thank you!!

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Paul, you ROCK, YOU ROCK, YOU ROCK!!! This is just perfect for the lazy likes of ME!



Nicole

Dang! Should have come into this thread before I voted. That's really helpful, Paul. Sorry I missed it. Voting could have taken half the time.

Anyway, /me staggers into the thread and goes Boy, that was so hard. It just about killed me having to choose. Every one of you nominated is a star!

But...done! Phew!

LabRat

Paul, thank you for this great list! I've been wanting to vote but was a little confused about how to find things. I've spent the last hour working my way through, however, and now voting may be even harder!

Seriously, I am *blown away* by the talent that went into these banners, videos, trailers, etc. As far as I'm concerned, everyone nominated is absolutely brilliant and deserves an award. I could as easily fly the space shuttle as do the magic you guys do with these clips.

And speaking of the clips, they're a great way for those of us who've only seen the show on DVD to catch a sneak preview of seasons three and four. Thanks so much to everyone for all your hard work!

Best,

Caroline

Last day! Just about 19 hours left to cast your vote. So if you were thinking about voting, now is your last chance.

Thanks to those who have already voted. And a huge thank you to Paul for putting all the links together! You're a star! (We've been meaning to do so, but I guess something went wrong in our communication...)

~Anna, Rachel, Sara and Saskia

Paul, *huge* thanks and appreciation for making that list! I've been so busy lately I just hadn't made time for voting, and coming down to the wire I was so grateful to be able to go to your post and find everything so easily.

I feel like one of those announcers on the train station. *ding dong* The train to the Alt-Kerths is delayed by seven hours. <g>

So ehm... seven hours left, guys! We'd still love to see the votes come rolling in...
