The LiveJournal Animanga Iconmakers Awards (Pre-Contest Creator Noms)
This round is so I can determine which "Best of" mangaka/creators to use. This is the first time that I'm doing this, but basically I just want to get more input on what should and should not be included since I'm not exactly the most HIP! person out there. ¦D
This is a rather loosely-organized round. Basically just comment with one mangaka/creator/group/etc that you would like to see a "Best of" category for, and people will comment to that comment if they are in agreement with your nomination. :O Please try to nominate creators for which lots of icons are made, and preferably also made by a wide variety of people so that we have more diversity. xD Optional: You may also choose to include a few of the series the mangaka/creator is known for, just in case other people aren't familiar with the name.
I won't be too strict with things as I suspect that comments will start piling up. So if there are a lot of comments and you don't have the time to thumb through pages hunting for a particular creator, just start a new thread and I'll add those votes to the other ones.
You can nominate/vote for as many creators as you like, but please make sure that there is only one creator per nomination comment for organizational purposes. ♥ Again, no creators that are known for making hentai or hardcore yaoi, please. :x Let's keep these awards worksafe!
The top 8 creators with the most votes will be the ones that I make categories for. ♥
Nominations will close at midnight (central time) on February 29th, 2008. If you have any questions, please reply to the FAQ post I have open. :3
