The Candidates For The Awards We Didn’t Do

This is where a huge monologue about the year would’ve gone. Instead, I’m just posting this for two reasons. You see, we did have genre awards and we did decide winners. We even had the personal picks done! We just couldn’t get shit together and get the Best Album podcast done, or other art done. So, here are the award categories and winners for 2013’s FOWRies, so you can see other shit that we were ready to hype. Winners underlined, personal picks marked with a * and a letter for the author. See if you can guess the other reason I posted this!
