It will definitely be skewed favorably for DT and SK works as opposed to on a non-King site, I think that's a given, but exacerbating it doesn't do any good.
At least you admit (or allude that) it's not just, Bears. It's your game, so I defer to your judgement. Just because a series follows one story-arc, doesn't make it any less of a series. A series is a group of related things-- books are plural. That'd be my most basic component of an argument (coupled with people having huge discrepancies in their enjoyment of a series from book-to-book).
Seconding:
The Time Machine
The Island of Dr.Moreau
Nominating La Peau de Chagrin by Honore de Balzac.
If you are going through hell - keep going
Is it an advantage or disadvantage when a series gets multiple nominations? Is the author to blame for not combining them according to this arbitrary value, or to credit for still being hard for fans to narrow down?
Yes, Discworld is a perfect example of the kind of series that can't be allowed in this type of poll and The Dark Tower or Harry Potter can, though I still disagree with the "one long novel" notion. I hope the difference is notable between these two types of series. One tells a single ongoing story. The other tells different stories with the same characters and settings.
Artemis Fowl (series) seconded.
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.

Matt!!!! you're going to love it!!!!!!! Assuming the translation is good, of course.
bears would second The Hound of the Baskervilles if it wasn't nominated out of turn.
I hope it will be re-nominated.
Guys, how is it possible that nobody has either read or loved Up the Down Staircase? I thought it was an American classic?
