  1. The text of the post says Doran got second place; the picture text says she is receiving her third place certificate.

  2. Thanks! I caught the mistake in my draft of the post but had forgotten I’d repeated it in the caption.

  3. Wait one damn minute — isn’t this one of those elitist Awards where a smal cabal selects the winners and everyone else can go take a flying fuck? Where are the outraged Puppies? Where is the strident editorial from Vox Day?

    Ah, but Baen editors pick things they actually like, you see, unlike fandom, who only choose things based on whether they win SJW bingo. Obviously. No-one would talk about books that much unless it was a clever smokescreen for a political agenda, duh.
