And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

Re: Canons you'd never nominate because you know no other fans would sign up

I am trying to think if there is a line here for me, and I'm not sure there is.

I wouldn't do a sign-up that was all super-obscure requests, but there's no harm in nominating to see who bites, if you have the slots. I have seriously considered nominating a furry/fantasy series that someone in my local area self-published in the early 1990s and sold at flea markets and community events for awhile. It isn't *that* obscure since I'm still slowly picking up missing volumes at local used book sales, one every five years or so!

I once nominated a newspaper comic from the 1930s that had only ever been partially reprinted in big anthologies of comics history, and was only online via like, scanned microfilm newspaper archives, and it got offers & another request.

If it was obscure enough that there was 0 English-language evidence for it on the Internet I would do a comprehensive evidence post. (But that self-pub series has a listing at the largest local used bookstore's website so it definitely exists.)

Is the 90s furry fantasy self published thing a book or comic? Furry coalie is intrigued.

Uh, it's really less furry than... Are crusties a thing? And I don't think the normal suburban dad who started writing it in '88 knew furry fandom existed tbf.

Beyond that I will not say in case I do remember to nom it next year (but don't worry if I do there will be a promo post )

Oh man, so many things are totally a thing in furry that aren't technically furries. I've seen plant furrys and dragons and scalies and so many other things that sort of qualify if you take a really broad definition of furry like I do. But it doesn't sound like it's any of the comics I was going to guess. Though I admit a lot of my guesses were more furry-lite like Duncan and Mallory rather then something straight up furry like Katmandu.

Oh, no, this is a book series, and I 100% promise you that you have never heard of it unless you happened to buy a copy one from this dude at a local community event in the 1990s, or know someone who did. This was before print-on-demand or online sellers, I'm pretty sure he got them printed at a local printer's and only ever sold them that way, and wasn't even part of any indie author community. There are literally four google results for it, one of them is that local used bookstore's catalog, one of them is my legalname booktracking account, and the other two are spam sites that scraped the bookstore.

Definitely really exists though, even if I did buy it from the back of a truck at a flea market in [not East Germany] I should re-read except I lost track of my copy of book 1 at some point.
