2021 Stabby Awards

Reddit’s r/Fantasy moderators announced the winners of the Best of /r/Fantasy 2021 — the Stabby Awards on February 11. They report there were 1909 votes cast, 1726 valid (after eliminating duplicates and votes cast by persons whose account was too new).

Mods’ Choice Award

One thought on “2021 Stabby Awards

  1. I love that members can get an award for best post — or even best comment. (That “I Want My Girlfriend to Read Fantasy, or How We Recommend Books to Non-Fantasy Readers” post looks great!)
