Reddit Fantasy Best of 2013 Awards – The Stabbies

Reddit Fantasy

For those who don’t know what Reddit is, it’s essentially an interactive forum and news stream for almost any topic imaginable. You need a profile to upvote or downvote what articles you find interesting and make comments with the community. You can subscribe to subforums like /r/Fantasy and then arrange your favorite at the top of your screen for easy access. I’m not a Reddit pro, but it’s easy enough to manage and the communities are well worth the time to join. /r/Fantasy is one of the most popular, and offers some of the best opportunities to interact with authors you think might be too popular to reach. Look at what they put together for last year’s winner for Best Debut Novel, Saladin Ahmed’s Throne of the Crescent Moon:
