Here in LA all the studios are heavily plugging the prestige movies they want to be nominated for various awards (with the Academy Awards being the biggie). Me being an uncultured plebeian when it comes to movies, I haven't seen any of them because they all looked boring (although the people I know who went to see Dunkirk did like it, for what that's worth).

But it is also furry book award season, and this year I was exceptionally prolific and actually managed to get three whole things printed. Now I'll have to reluctantly accept the fact I'm probably not going to win a National Book Award (or even a Hugo or Nebula for that matter) for Elephant vs. T-Rex, but damn it, I can at least try for one of the furry awards.

So anyways, the three awards are The Ursa Majors : http://www.ursamajorawards.org/nominations.htm

The Furry Writers Guild http://coyotlawards.org/nominations/

and the new Leo Awards https://furrybookreview.wixsite.com.....log/leo-awards

Honestly, for 99% of the people reading this, the Ursa Majors will be the only one you can nominate for, because it's open to everyone. For the Furry Writer's Guild award, only members can nominate, and for the Leo Awards, I can't exactly figure out what the nominating criteria is, but I think you need to be a published writer in some capacity.

So the three things I published this year are

Griffin Ranger 2: The Monster Lands (novel)
Matriarch: Elephant vs. T-Rex (Novella/short fiction)
Didus ineptus Linnaeus (Short story, published in the Fred Patten Symbol of a Nation anthology)

Even if you hate me and don't want me to win anything, go ahead and nominate the latest MLP fanfic epic or whatever floats your boat. It makes things more interesting.

If I actually get nominated for anything, I'll be back bugging for votes when the time comes.
