Hello there, good creatures. In unexpected (but lovely) surprise, found out earlier this week that I've been nominated for an Ursa Major Award.

More specifically my story "Coming Ott" has been nominated in "Short Fiction" section.

Thanks to those who nominated, whoever those critters may have been~ I hadn't promoted myself or the story for nomination, or nominated the tale myself, which makes this more the surprise. I'm deeply honored that this connected with enough readers to qualify for a nomination. "Coming Ott" is one of my more personal stories and remain proud of it.

If haven't read it before, you can here on Furaffinity or you can have a listen to the recording from The Voice of Dog podcast.

If you enjoy the tale, feel free to go forth and vote for it in Short Fiction category at the Ursa Major Awards: https://ursamajorawards.org/voting2025/ (Or, if you wish, vote for one of the other candidates, as there's some lovely tales involved by some fantastic authors.)

Have a lovely day~
