In a way it's not dissimilar to the fan campaign that got WoT nominated. And that's why both of them are going below No Award on my ballot.

I think those are two very different things - the WoT fans have nominated the work because they are fans of the work. Much as I am an unfan of WoT and won't be voting for it, I am content now that it does warrant its place on the ballot of a "most popular" award. It's not common for a series to end up there, but it is well within the rules: none of the individual books were nominated before, and the series forms a complete narrative.
