Hey everyone!

So, I'm a little late to the party, but we're at the time of year again when it's time for the fandom to nominate furry works for the Ursa Major Awards!

Thanks to my summer writing project, I've actually got over a dozen short stories that are eligible this year. I have a few personal picks that I want to recommend, ones that I think stand out above the rest, but obviously, feel free to pick the ones you think are most deserving.

So here's a list of all the stories I wrote and published online in 2012, in chronological order. As an added bonus, now you can check to see if you've missed anything that I wrote that might strike your fancy!

Plastic Stars in Our Private Galaxy
Reylin tests the boundaries of his not-relationship with his not-boyfriend, Gareth the also-slutty coyote.

Within the Lines
A fox and a dingo try to figure out how to get their rocks off without one of them cheating on his boyfriend.

Priorities
A young fox in college has a very distracting day after a very intense evening.

So Much to Offer Once You've Got the Knack
Cacomistle extraordinaire Reylin Saticoy offers a guide to having sex in public. Don't try this at home, kids. Er, or in public.

You Look Really Sad
I'm not saying that my first kiss was anything like this, but I'm not saying it wasn't like this, either.

Intention
An otter visits a skunk for dinner. Or maybe he visits him for something else.

Fuzzy Logic
A drunk husky tries to think of a way to make up for his relationship indiscrection.

Revenant
If you lost a loved one, would you get a replacement if you could?

A More Innocent Time
A tiger on the prowl for a quickie thinks back to his younger days.

Time to Destination
A not-so-proper businessfox has a not-so-boring trip on a commuter train.

Mutual Appreciation
A pair of harem fennecs is tasked to service a special pair of guests.

Argent
A barely legal college fox goes to a house party with the foreknowledge that something strange is going to happen to him.

Backwards
A young fox takes an unwanted vacation in a foreign country, and tries to deal with a strange kangaroo who doesn't share his language or social values.



So, my personal pick for the best story I put out in 2012 is probably Plastic Stars in Our Private Galaxy. It's certainly the most complete story of the bunch, I'd say, in addition to probably being the most complex, and I really like how it came out (I nearly gave up on it a few times).

Other than that, I'm also kind of proud of You Look Really Sad. I think it was very well received, and I got a lot of really excellent comments from readers, ones that were actually quite heartwarming, so I'd be happy to see people pick that one, too.

Oh, and I guess a lot of people like Argent, too, because slutty canids and stuff.

If you've already nominated, that's fine, too--you can log back in and add or change your nominations any time up until they close. So if you think I've earned your vote, I'd be happy if you went and did that!
