It’s that time again! The time when so many of us tell you what we created that is eligible for an SF/F award in 2019. And as always, we’re going to tell you about all the eligible things that this podcast and/or its hosts created AND all the eligible things we covered, including movies, books, comics, and more!
So hold on to your butts. This will be a monster post of delightfully awards-eligible beautificities!
Here goes:
The Skiffy and Fanty Network and Blog
The Skiffy and Fanty Network

We’ve been close to making the finalists cut a few times now, so we hope those of you who have supported us in the past will do so again! Please list us as The Skiffy and Fanty Network, since we are now about 47,000 different shows under the same moniker.We may also be eligible for various podcast-friendly awards hosted elsewhere, including the Parsec (later this year) and so on.
The Skiffy and Fanty Blog
- Best Fanzine: Our blog is eligible for a Hugo Award in the Best Fanzine category. It may also be eligible for other awards for sf/f websites or resources, of which there are are quite a few.
The Crew
The following section will only include those with eligibility beyond the “group” awards listed in the previous section, including things they have worked on for which other people may be eligible. Some people have been excluded if they did not wish to be listed or if they did not release work other than that on the podcasts in our network (that we know of).
We have used the Hugo Awards categories as the model for suggestions. You are free to nominate individual members for whatever awards you believe they are eligible for.
