Though what I forgot to mention in my previous comment is that the more wacky and out-there things there are, the more people are likely to think of that kind of stuff as something they want for Yuletide. When no one was nominating commercials and webcomics, then people weren't really thinking about it. But if someone sees something that makes them remember something else they were interested in, it just keeps spreading like that.
But at the same time, there are still a million books and TV series and movies and more "normal" stuff, so it's not like the really out-there stuff has taken over. (And of course when it comes time to write, those out-there fandoms will get one story each, if that, whereas the larger, more mainstream sources will get more.)
If I were able to participate, I would nominate not just a webcomic, but webcomic RPF. Because the author of A Softer World and the author of Dinosaur Comics are best friends, which already triggers my vague "ooh, I would read/write fic about them" impulses, but on top of that, there was a Softer World comic earlier this year there was a comic talking about the two of them (that's them in the photos) kissing in a tree.
