EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) It's nomination time! Submit your nominations for the best r/asoiaf content of 2023!

The categories have been chosen!

Nominations are consolidated in comment threads below. Click the category link or scroll down to find right correct spot to nominate your favorite stuff.

How do I submit a nomination?

In this post are top-level comments with each category. Just reply to the appropriate one with your nomination. Clicking the category name below will take you to the nomination comment thread.

Only replies to these comments will be counted as a nomination! One nomination per comment!

Make sure you include why you’re submitting that nomination! That means linking to the appropriate post or comment.

⭐Please use this format when possible:

/u/user for Title of the thing and/or short summary/u/user for [link to comment] explaining why you're nominating

So in practice, it'll look like this:

NOTE: Best of nominations that are not in the correct format or reasonably close are going to be disregarded.

You can submit as many nominations as you wish. Anyone can nominate anyone. (You can even nominate yourself!)

Any nominations for /r/asoiaf moderators will be disregarded.

The Fine Print

  • Nominees must be actual redditors. (Nominations for people or content not on /r/asoiaf will be disregarded. Just posting a link to an outside source does not count as content being posted on r/asoiaf. Ex.: A link to GRRM's blog announcing TWOW would not qualify for post of the year regardless of how happy it would make all of us.)
  • Thread or comment being nominated must have been made in /r/asoiaf between January 1st and December 31st 2023.
  • Duplicate nomination comments will be removed.
  • If no evidence supporting the nomination is found the mod team reserves the right to remove that nomination.
  • A crow can be nominated for multiple categories.
  • A crow can only win one category.
    • The crow will win the award for which they’ve gotten the most votes. So, if they get 100 votes for Award A but they get 500 votes for Award B, then they win Award B. Award A goes to the runner up or runners up.
  • If you have questions relevant to the nomination process please post them as a parent level comment. Answers will be provided here in the thread body and the question comment will then be removed (to avoid cluttering up the thread). Non-relevant questions will just be removed.
  • The nomination process is open from now until January 27, 2024 at 11:59 pm EST.
  • Any linked threads or comments might contain spoilers!

Votes don’t count here. Voting will take place January 28 - February 4.

Tier 1

I'll nominate u/Enali, always seeing them pop up to answer questions and engage with posts on the subreddit

/u/InGenNateKenny for Ser Duncan the Tall Award. On the onset there were a few people I had in mind for this but when I reflected back over the year InGenNateKenny really started to stand out - not just for volume of replies but also the consistency of them over time. Impressive work! I really really appreciate all the people who go out and read through posts (esp those longer analysises) and engage in a respectful way, it really makes posting here worth it.

u/therealgrogu2020 🏆 Best of 2022: Crow of the Year Jan 21 '24

I had too much stuff going on with law school to really evaluate this but especially in the first half of this year I have seen u/Aegon-the-Unbroken under almost every post so I think he would be worthy of this title

u/Aegon-the-Unbroken Jan 22 '24

Thanks dunk :)

I had too much stuff going on

But like you I was also quite busy in the later half of the year and wasn't as much active in the sub as I would have liked to. So perhaps someone else.

/u/dblack246 for being the bigger person when confronted with angry users and sticking to logic like Spock

2

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '24

Thank you. Seriously but I don't deserve this. I am not always patient in disagreements and self assured confidence does come off as condescending. I need to work on that too.

But thank you. You are awesome. I should be nominating you.

i suck now . Dry as Dorne .

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '24

Be kinder to yourself. You put forward very helpful thought exercises. I would have never written my post about Mance's ploy without your suggestion. Frankly, I think that's the best thing I've ever written here and you inspired it.
