  1. Congrats to Red Wombat!

    Looking at the other winners reminds me of something I’ve noticed about fiction from the furry side of things: they always have really good cover art.

    (I don’t actually have a surname. It’s a tragic tale, too long for this small comment box…)

    As I understand it, it was an unfortunate accident in your youth, when you caught your name in a mechanical rice-picker.

    Fortunately, an American genealogist, living nearby, was able to prevent further damage.

    Thank goodness. I have visions of his atomized name spraying out of the end of that rice-picker like the body parts in Fargo

    That’s actually a cover story concocted by the WSFS Mark Protection Committee. Standlee has a vivid imagination….

  5. To me, he’s “Mark with XKCD kitteh avatar”. “Mark kitteh” for short.

    Huge congrats to Red Wombat, well-deserved!

  6. I was considering sending Mike a request to put up a post about the awards, but I see that Mark already beat me to the punch.

    In related news, Fred Patten, reviewer, historian and all-around prolific guy, has posted a furry reading list, including his ten top furry classics: http://dogpatch.press/2015/09/25/the-well-read-furry/ . I was a little agog to see that one of them was an anthology I was in (and that Fred reviewed my own story rather positively).

    @Mark

    I don’t know about always, but the furry fandom is very visually oriented and has a ton of great artists, so their work gets featured prominently. (Rukis illustrates all her own work, I believe.) The furry publishers also publish large interior illustrations quite regularly as well.

    I think my favorite cover may be for Ryan Campbell’s God of Clay, whose sequel just released this weekend at RainFurrest as well.

    @Mike Glyer

    It should be “Tarl Hoch” not “TarlHoch.”
