Ursa Major Awards: I could be in them! But I need your help.
6 years ago
Should I rephrase this? Nah, nevermind. It's gonna get misinterpreted anyway.
Thanks to some key skullduggery on the part of the host comic's author, the arc in CarryOn that I guest-wrote for has made it onto the recommendations list for 2018's Ursa Major Awards! Given how most of my writing is just a fun hobby for me I've never really thought of trying to compete in such things, but I've been at this for a long time now and I think it would be interesting to see if I can hack it out there in the vast pool of furry writing talent. And if I'm going to get that chance I'll need your help! Their nomination AND selection processes are both separate popular votes, so I won't even get my foot in the door without a LOT of recommendations.
Go check out my story here on FA or here on the CarryOn forum if you want to view it in-browser. I'm credited as 'Uranium235' because that's my username on there. And do feel free to stick around if you look it up on the forum. The Cross Time Cafe is a fun spot with lots of cool webcomics. Anyways, if you think my work is worthy, head on over to the UMA's 2018 nomination page and let them know you think it should make the cut, along with anything else from last year that you really enjoyed! I'm sure that KDNightstar would love it if you plugged her comic in the webcomic category as well.
I've never thought of myself as a prolific or popular author, but over the last few years I've been running into more and more people who are familiar with and/or enjoy my work. So if you such people really are out there as some evidence suggests, please do continue existing and/or enjoying my content. And maybe even click the link and do the thing if you really like what I do!
Nominations close Saturday, February 16th, so don't delay!

I see that the Ursas will be announced in your neck of the woods this year, in Cleaveland.

Yup. AnthrOhio is indeed wonderfully accessible. I didn't go last year because I have some Memorial Day traditions that I like to go home for. This one could help me meet local furries though, and I'm badly in need of more ways to find Ohio contacts. I think I'll go this time. Would be a shame to stop being in the parade and stuff, but I think the quality of life boost would be worth it. Ordinarily when making such a decision my thought is "Well I'll go to X, there's Y every year." But in this situation X and Y both happen every year, and always at the same time, so I've got to just choose. Maybe I'll alternate every time?

Just as long as you don't mix up the two dress codes...

Thought: if your story makes it onto the ballot, definitely go to the AnthrOhio.

That's a pretty good decision-point. I hadn't considered that. Works for me though!
