It’s that time of year again. The time when we all show up in a big arena and fight each other with sticks and used socks and the leftover contents of Darth Vader’s fridge for the supreme honor of winning an award.
OK. So that’s not true. But it is awards season, which means we do have to release a practically mandatory big post of all the stuff we discussed or created that happens to be eligible for something in 2016. So, here it is:
The Skiffy and Fanty Crew
First, here’s all of the crew’s eligible things, whether they be books, podcasts, fan writing, or illegal dandelion poaching (I’m looking at you, Mike):
The Skiffy and Fanty Show (Best Fancast)
As always, The Skiffy and Fanty Show is eligible in the Best Fancast category, for which we’ve been nominated before (thanks for that, by the way). If you choose to nominate us again, that would be awesome. Make sure to include all of the podcasting crew on your ballot (Shaun Duke, Julia Rios, Mike Underwood, Rachael Acks, Paul Weimer, David Annandale, and Jen Zink). And, again, thank you for supporting us in the past. It is awesome pants.
Mike Underwood (or Michael R. Underwood)
- Novel: Hexomancy (Pocket Star Books)
- Novella: The Shootout Solution: Genrenauts Episode One (Tor.com Publishing)
- Fancast: Speculate! The Podcast for Writers, Readers, and Fans
Mike is also eligible as a professional for his work at Angry Robot Books as North American Sales & Marketing Manager (cool!).
Paul Weimer
Paul is eligible for his fan writing. He writes book reviews for this website, SF Signal, and can be found wandering all over the Internet being the uber fan that he is. He’s never been nominated. Someone should fix this one of these days.

Daniel Haeusser
As it turns out, Daniel is eligible in the Fan Writer category for his reviews and other writing, here at on his own blog.
Jen Zink
It seems wrong not to give Jen her own section even though she’s only eligible for the podcast. So, she gets a section!

Now the big question:
