Inaugural Dragon Award winners named |

Three takes on the awards: https://madgeniusclub.com/2016/09/05...on-the-carpet/ https://maxviking.wordpress.com/2016...dragon-awards/ http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/201...-puppy-awards/ As usual, I don't particularly care who wins awards. But the nomination list looks pretty solid and legit to me. Weber, Freer, Correia, Novik, Butcher, Sir Terry Pratchet (spoiler: he won his category), plus HBO, BETHESDA SOFTWORKS... a couple Indies, and even an Amazon Publishing title. Sounds pretty inclusive to me. (Check the comments on the Freer column.) |
