Unwon awards

This page details the awards I have not won.

It could be that I’ll be nominated for some of these some day, but chances are slim to pretty much exactly nothing. Feel free to change that, though. Go ahead, nominate away!

My @foofarawpress.bsky.social award for best short story 2025 arrived! It’s quite possibly the best award I’ve ever received, for possibly my best ever story.www.unchartedmag.com/stories/bone…
