OK, so, this post should have gone up months ago, but let's pretend that this is right on time. NOTHING TO SEE HERE. TOTALLY APPROPRIATELY TIMED POST. Ballots have been cast and the results are in (in a totally timely fashion). Pop the cheapest champagne you can get your hands on and don your tackiest sparklies. It's (finally) time to celebrate the winners of the first annual Traumaland Awards:
HERE IT IS, DEAR READERS. If you're unclear on what's happening here, there's a tiny bit more explanation (not much) and a few gifs on the original nominations post. It's pretty basic: we're reviewing 2013 on this blog. All the material we covered and all of our favorite (or most traumatizing) recurring themes. It's up to you to vote and determine the winners.
The idea behind the two week delay between nominations/ballot was to give you all some opportunity to post about it, though there weren't enough posts to warrant a separate roundup post. If you're curious, though: Ashlea blogged about it, I vlogged, and we retweeted a few tweets about it. So there's your expert commentary before you make your final decisions.

Why yes, we are starting another insane new thing. It's a new year, which means it's time for us to reflect on all the exciting and traumatizing events of the previous year. That's sort of what we did in yesterday's TMYK, but as we mentioned then, Traumaland is a community and we want you all to be a part of this process. As Traumaland expands, we have an ever-growing cast of characters to recognize for all the ways they either got us to feel all the feelings or simply ruined us for life. For that I give you: The Traumaland Awards
