Well, it appears what passes for an awards season in webcomics is in full swing, as The Order of the Stick has been nominated for two 2008
Eagle Awards, in the categories of Favourite Web-Based Comic and Favourite Original Graphic Novel, the latter for Start of Darkness. (Since the Eagle Awards are British, they come with bonus "U's".) Unlike the WCCA's, the Eagle is a fan-selected award that covers the entire comic book industry; some of you may remember Marvel putting their Eagle Award wins on the covers of their books back in the day. The upshot of this is that I'm actually directly competing with Alan Moore on one of these. And let me tell you, that's a strange feeling.
Anyway, the awards are entirely based on online votes, so anyone with an email address can head to
this page and place votes for OOTS if you so desire. Thanks in advance to anyone who spares the 30 seconds to vote.
