Naturally, I'm pleased to see Flayrah and WikiFur on the ballot (and Inkbunny, as I'm a mod there). Please vote for us! :-)
It's unfortunate that Prequel didn't get in. The art is simplistic, but not trivial, the lead character is endearing, and the concept of reader participation in directing the story is intriguing. I guess Best Graphic Story is always competitive.
On the plus side, I'm seeing several works that I've never heard of before, but which I'm interested in looking at further (which is of course one point of the Ursas). Endtown is a case in point; the current strip really speaks to me for some reason.
It's also interesting to see two MLP-based nominations. I doubt they'll win without an influx of fans, but it's good to see them represented. (WikiFur has had a category for My Little Pony multiplayer worlds since 2006 – guess we should have seen the brony thing coming.)
I'm surprised not to see Heat #8 up against Flayrah this year. Then again, Sofawolf didn't promote its works for Ursa Major nominations, so that's probably why. I was sad to see that South Fur Landsceased publication last December, but 57 issues is a good run.
