i really hope not, because i (mod matt) hate breaking promises, but the other two mods have pretty much disappeared and im incredibly bad at knowing how to proceed in cases like this.
there’s three options i can foresee: 1) i do a complete overhaul and we restart this whole process, 2) i get help to make sure the nominations are all listed on the voting form and we proceed from there, or 3) we call it quits.
i dont want to have to call it quits because i do believe that everyone nominated should get recognized and rewarded for their contributions to the fandom, but it’s a really daunting task to have to do 1 or 2 by myself, so if we were to keep this blog going, i’d love to have some people help me out with the organizational aspect! but in any case, i want to know how you guys feel about these options.
Hey I was nominated for best head canon and I accepted. Is there a reason I'm not on the list for best W359 head canons? Just confused.
Sorry about that, are you not on the list on the post or in the actual voting form? We may have missed you when updating, thank you so much for letting us know.
I didn't see welcome to night vale in the form, is it in there or did you accidentally skip it?
I might have formatted the section skips incorrectly, I’ll go check. Thank you for letting us know!

Edit: It appears that it all is working properly, the form may have glitched when you tried to submit? Let me know if anything like this happens again, thanks.
Alright, I believe I’ve solved the problem, the Penumbra question was not directing correctly. Please let me know if anything like this happens again! I want to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote and be voted for.

When you click through, you’ll be given an info page that has pretty much everything I’m about to cover below. Then you’ll be prompted to select the blogs you'd like to vote on, and it will take you to the voting page. Then continue to the next podcast until you're through with everything you are willing and able to give input on.
We really appreciate reblogging and spreading the word, we want every single category to have at least a few votes. Even if you don’t follow this blog or haven’t sent in any nominations/been nominated, you can still vote. If you have been nominated, you can still vote in your section, just not for yourself. On your honor and all that. Voting will close on the sixth of May, so make sure to get everything in by then. If you’ve been nominated, feel free to promo yourself. If you haven’t, try promoting other people if you have permission! Make friends and share the contest and all that.
In case you want to see what you’re getting into before you jump into voting, all of the categories, participating podcasts, and nominations are below the cut. (also displayed on our blog here, here, and here)

Today, in fact! Here’s the survey for voting. There’s some general info, then you’ll be asked whether or not you want to vote for a particular podcast. If you’ve listened to it, then hit yes and you’ll be taken to the next section, where you’ll be able to choose who you want to vote for. Have fun, and let me know if anything doesn’t work!
the moderator of @isnt-alice-dead here, what a fun thing you're doing here! also a great way to find quality blogs to follow if I ever get the time to listen to new podcasts. thanks for the time you put into this!
We’re very glad you appreciate it, thanks for sending in such a nice message.
What do there nominations actually mean? Just curious, I don't mean to offend anyone!
it’s fine! the nominations pretty much just mean that people consider those users the best of their category in the fandom, and want to see them recognized for their work.
I have a question - so people can only be nominated for three different things, and I've been nominated for two things under my main blog. My sideblog, wolf359-typography, was just nominated. Does that fill all three of my nomination slots? (Also, I volunteer to write fanfiction prizes for King Falls AM, Wolf 359, and The Penumbra Podcast! And I'll do edits under the WTNV and W359 typography blogs for those two podcast prizes.)
it’s fine! that restriction was lifted a while ago.
thanks for volunteering! we’ve put you down on the lists. do you have a portfolio for your writing?
