But wait! There's more. I won a Stabby this year too!

... it's not for best book ... and I'm sharing it with Potterhead42 ... but I have (half of)(hopefully the pointy end) the Stabby for r/Fantasy Community Achievement Award!

I like to think I earned it through my general tact throughout the year as I poured oil on various troubled waters and promoted harmony.
