Dragon Award Analysis – First Look
So for starters look at this list of finalists and this set of projections from me.
So how did I do? Not bad, if I say so myself. 32 works on my list ended up being finalists and 25 didn’t. That’s a nice sweet spot for looking at what did and didn’t make it. More after the fold because there is going to be a LOT of tables.
First up, let’s use the results to answer the question: was it worthwhile for the Rabids and the Scrappy-Doos to campaign for Dragon Award nominations? The answer is: yes.
However, the Rabid success was mixed in an interesting way. In general, the Rabid nominees that were Castalia House books were finalists but the ones that weren’t were less successful.
These are the Rabid nominees that made it:

Nominee |
|
Best Fantasy Novel (Including Paranormal) |
A Sea of Skulls by Vox Day |
|
Best Young Adult/Middle Grade Novel |
Swan Knight’s Son by John C. Wright |
|
Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel |
Starship Liberator by B.V. Larson and David VanDyke |

|
Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game |
Gloomhaven by Cephalofair Games |
|
Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Miniatures / Collectible Card / Role-Playing Game |
Dark Souls: The Board Game by Steamforged Games |
The first four are Castalia House books. The others are in non-book categories and may have been nominated regardless. The Rabid losers are more akin to the hostage-style nominees.

Nominee |

Best Science Fiction Novel |
[not nominated]-ALBION LOST by Richard Fox |
|
Best Apocalyptic Novel |
[not nominated]-THE RETREAT #4: ALAMO by Craig diLouie, with Stephen Knight and Joe McKinney |
|
|
|
|
Best Science Fiction or Fantasy PC / Console Game |
[not nominated]-TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER by Sega |
|
Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Mobile Game |
[not nominated]-LEGENDS OF CALLASIA by Boomzap Entertainment (the mobile release was Sep 2016) |
Anything Rabid nominated got a “High” status ranking on my projections in terms of likelihood of being nominated. Two works got “Very High” in terms of likelihood by being both Rabid and also on Scrappy-Doo recommendation lists – the Vox Day book and the John C Wright book.
I think the difference between the Castalia Rabids getting in and the Hostage-Book Rabids not getting in suggests that Vox put some effort into getting the house books nominated and there being less discipline for the non-Castalia House works.
The next rung down on my projections was “Medium” – these were works that appeared on multiple significant lists but weren’t Rabid nominees. The “Medium” category swept the board:
|
Category |
Nominee |
|
Best Science Fiction Novel |
Escaping Infinity by Richard Paolinelli |
|
Best Science Fiction Novel |
The Secret Kings by Brian Niemeier |
|
Best Young Adult/Middle Grade Novel |
Rachel and the Many Splendored Dreamland by L. Jagi Lamplighter |
|
Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel |
The Span of Empire by Eric Flint and David Carrico |
|
Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel |
Star Realms: Rescue Run by Jon Del Arroz |
|
Best Alternate History Novel |
Breath of Earth by Beth Cato |
|
Best Apocalyptic Novel |
A Place Outside the Wild by Daniel Humphreys |
|
Best Horror Novel |
Live and Let Bite by Declan Finn |
|
Best Science Fiction or Fantasy PC / Console Game |
Final Fantasy XV by Square Enix |
All the works classed as Medium were nominated. The only non-novel was Final Fantasy XV which was an inevitable nominee anyway. The Eric Flint book wasn’t on multiple lists but I rated it Medium because of the general love for Flint and his association with the Dragons and his early request for nominations.
The “Low” category was more of a mix of stuff. In some cases this was because my estimate was based mainly on who was doing the nominating – consequently an author with a strong personal following that I wasn’t aware of, may have been rated “low” when in fact they had a legion of fans voting. Without numbers from the Dragon Awards, we will never know. I also classed movies like Doctor Strange and Wonder Woman as “low” just for consistency, even though I expected they would get organic votes.
Just looking at “Low” winners in the novel categories:
|
Category |
Nominee |
|
Best Alternate History Novel |
Another Girl, Another Planet by Lou Antonelli |
|
Best Apocalyptic Novel |
Codename: Unsub by Declan Finn and Allan Yoskowitz |
|
Best Horror Novel |
Blood of Invidia by Tom Tinney and Morgen Batten |
Lou Antonelli had done some spruiking of his book in the comment sections of some of the other Dragon slates and that maybe paid off.
More losers in the non-novels for “Low” but just looking at the novels we get:
|
Best Fantasy Novel (Including Paranormal) |
[different category]-Live and Let Bite by Declan Finn |
|
Best Alternate History Novel |
[not nominated]-Crazy Horses by David J. West |
|
Best Horror Novel |
[not nominated]-Murphy’s Law of Vampires by Declan Finn |
Declan Finn is pretty much in every category. He wrote lots of posts about the awards in multiple venues. Ten out of ten for effort I guess!
The “Very Low” status was more a measure of my lack of information more than anything. These tended to be works that were passing mentions in relation to the awards. The wins here are less surprising in hindsight.

Gannon gets nominated for proper awards, Murphy got a dragon nomination last year, Hartley is fairly popular I believe. I’m less familiar with the others.
Mind you, the other book mentioned in passing by Hartley didn’t get nominated:

What I haven’t checked in any of the cases is whether they were eligible.
OK, that’s all for now. My aggregated list of the projections + actual nominees is here if you want to play around with things 🙂
*[ETA: The Hidden People by Alison Littlewood this was recorded incorrectly on my sheet twice and so has appeared in the tables as both nominated and not nominated and as part of the Rabid slate and as not part of it. It was nominated. However, on File 770 Alison Littlewood has commented that she was unaware of the nomination and has asked to be withdrawn http://file770.com/?p=36736#comment-687152 ]

An interesting tidbit for you – it looks like quite a few finalists are linked by being published on Inkshares. I speculate they may have a bit of a community that got interested in the award:
Space Tripping by Patrick Edwards
Rise by Brian Guthrie (along with Space Tripping these won different Nerdist contests)
The Seventh Age: Dawn by Rick Heinz
A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau
It’s All Fun and Games by Dave Barrett.
