  1. Mike,

    Thanks for the extra publicity for our award. It is interesting that you chose — your blog, your choice — to invert the order in which you listed the awards, relative to our original. We viewed the fan awards as the more important, as coming from the oldest non-local sf club (there are two urban-area groups that are older) in fandom, so the ballot listed them first.

    In any event, thanks for all the work you do for fandom.

  2. See, that’s something you have to say explicitly if you want your order followed.

    The Hugo ceremony starts with the fan awards, too. But guess which category George R.R. Martin calls “The Big One”?

  3. And anyway, the N3F itself prioritizes the pro categories in the order of its own announcement.

    For example, when you won the 2019 Best Novel Neffy, the announcement in TNFF listed your win first.

    Likewise, on the N3F website, the Neffy Awards listings begin with the fiction (i.e., pro) categories first.

    So one would not have assumed the N3F had departed from its own tradition absent an announcement.
