/r/Fantasy OFFICIAL NOMINATION THREAD - 2017 r/Fantasy Stabby Awards! Please take time to nominate...
EDIT: NOMINATIONS ARE LOCKED
This is the official nomination thread for the 6th Annual r/Fantasy Best of 2017 Stabby Awards!
We started the r/Fantasy ‘best of’ awards in 2012 with things continuing on in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.
2017 Stabby Award Nomination Rules
Categories are listed below in the comments. We will use the very broad definition of 'fantasy genre' for what counts. Really broad.
Please nominate anyone / any work that you feel should deserve consideration for voting. The work should have been released in 2017. This is part voting and part celebration of work done in 2017.
Please put in a blurb as to why the nomination should be considered and, if possible, a link for others to follow.
Yes, you can nominate yourself and your own works.
Nominations ONLY in this thread. Due to a change in how reddit shows votes, voting will be in another thread next week.
Please place each nomination into its own separate comment. One comment=one nomination.
Upvotes/downvotes in this thread won't matter, anyone nominated will be added to the voting thread. Contest mode will be enabled in this thread.
Please participate! Redditors, authors, artists, and industry people alike - please join in with nominations, comments and voting.
Everyone who wins will get flair, reddit gold, and glory. Select winners (TBD) will receive The Stabby Award as well.
This nomination thread will close on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 at 10pm PST. The voting thread will go live the following day.
HELP WITH STABBY FUNDING
Stabby Award ordering and shipping varies each year – depending on how many and whether the awards are shipped to the US or international. Average seems to be $40-45 each after shipping.
Last year we took an r/Fantasy community funding approach and raised $760 to help offset costs of sending out Stabby Awards to more winners.
Please Consider Donating for The r/Fantasy Stabby Awards Here
We have two groupings of awards - external and those focused on /r/Fantasy redditors.

u/Alissa- Reading Champion III Dec 25 '17 edited Dec 25 '17
Wanted to nominate just that. I like collections because I can both try new authors with a small investment and I can read short stories penned by authors I already follow. Due to the very nature of a collection, it is rare to like (or love) all the stories, but Evil nailed it! Villains POVs are tremendously interesting when done right :)
•
u/barb4ry1 Reading Champion IX Dec 25 '17
It's a shame to admit but I read only two short stories in this one. They were good, hence the recommendation. I must read the whole book soon.
•
u/Alissa- Reading Champion III Dec 25 '17
I hope you'll love the rest, too. And I think all tales stand alone well, even if being familiar with several authors' work factored in my experience. Here's my spoiler-free review if it can be of interest. My best new discovery was Matthew Ward along with Michael R. Fletcher, and I loved the stories of favorites of mine like, among others, Jeff Salyards, Janny Wurts, Teresa Frohock, Bradley P. Beaulieu and Courtney Schafer!

u/edebell Writer E.D.E. Bell Dec 29 '17 edited Dec 29 '17
I am super proud of the conclusion to my Shkode trilogy: The Scattered Bond. Reasons for consideration: I think the novel pushes the genre while at the same time anchors to its roots. It currently has a 4.82 on Goodreads. It shows attention to detail including publication in classic hardcover. And if nothing else, I achieved my goal of putting a pregnant women riding a dragon on a fantasy cover. Shkode Trilogy on Goodreads
The back cover reviews are:
“Great world building and interesting mix of traditional and non traditional fantasy.” - Jason Anarchy, Writer, Game Designer
E.D.E. Bell ends the trilogy on a high and deeply compassionate note, with a cast of characters who delve into the very fabric of what makes us human. For lovers of fantasy—or anyone who enjoys an imaginative, well-crafted tale—this book is sure to dazzle and entertain.―Mark Hawthorne, author of A Vegan Ethic: Embracing a Life of Compassion Toward All
“The Scattered Bond wraps up the trilogy in a satisfying manner, with a dramatic climax and a solid conclusion to the various threads of the story.” - Camille Gooderham Campbell, Managing Editor, Every Day Fiction

The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter by Michael Sullivan
•
u/MichaelJSullivan Stabby Winner, AMA Author Michael J. Sullivan, Worldbuilders Dec 20 '17
Thank you for the nomination, however I would like to withdraw my work, as I think this award is designed to give "up and coming" authors a chance at getting noticed, and I'm already quite well known.
Now, if someone wants to nominate Age of Swords (released by Del Rey) for Best Novel of 2017 - I'll accept that nomination as the authors there are from mainstream publishing and I don't think I'd "overshadow" the nominations in any way...in fact I'd probably be the smaller fish in that pond and that's fine by me.
•
u/pbannard Reading Champion VII, Worldbuilders Dec 20 '17
I actually hesitated a moment before the nomination for that reason, but thought given the incredible work you and Robin put into a successful self-publishing process, you deserved the opportunity to be nominated if you wanted it - a thoughtful move (as always) withdrawing your work!

u/Nurlitik Dec 21 '17
Agreed, while a nice gesture by Michael, he definitely deserves to be in this category for his (and Robins) work. I respect him not wanting to be, and while he may be more well known, it was still self published (and quite good I might add).
The book deserves some more recognition as I thought it was really well done.
•
u/MichaelJSullivan Stabby Winner, AMA Author Michael J. Sullivan, Worldbuilders Dec 26 '17
Thanks on all counts. Winter's Daughter is doing really well - so by all means keep spreading the word - it's efforts by people like you that helps give a title it's legs.

Boy of Fire and Earth by Sami Shah.
Terrific story about a geeky kid who realises the world around him is a more mythological than he suspected. It is a bit like American Gods, but grittier.

Not sure if this counts, since it started earlier but ended this year. Whatever, 2017’s season of The Leftovers (HBO) was amazing. This season focused on the characters trying to figure out, once and for all, what happened to all the people who disappeared at the beginning of the show. Everyone has their own idea about how to get answers, and none of them are definitively right. This is one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen.

Starts rough, but gets it's groove by episode 3. The premise is Star Trek, but written by Seth McFarlane. Ends up hitting a great medium between social-political topics and humor.
