Half of my eligible works are mentioned in the lists above! 
Here are my other two eligible short stories from last year:
-“The Moon Fox” in Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores (free to read and beautifully illustrated, and my favorite of all my short stories thus far!) https://cosmicrootsandeldritchshores.com/fiction-all/stories-for-young-people-from-4-to-400/the-moon-fox/
-“Hungry” in Fossil Lake IV: Sharkasaurus! https://fossillake.wordpress.com/fossil-lake-iv/
Thank you for your consideration! :3
Gosh, I had a slow year. Two short story publications not mentioned above:
‘Little Sun’ in Werewolves Versus Space (pay what you want from $0 up, go on go on go on)
‘Midway’ in Tales of the Sunrise Lands
Actually, “Parahumans” is under 50,000 words. That would make it a “novella”.
Amended. 
Wow, I just noticed I only had one new story published last year, and it was for Typewriter Emergencies.
“TV-P” – Typewriter Emergencies, https://www.typewriteremergencies.com/may-2017
Most of my eligible short stories are listed in the anthologies above. In addition I had the following this year.
The Earth Tigers (41,500) novel/novella
Seed of A Doubt (in Passing Through anthology) short story
The Emperor and the Fox (in Tales of the Sunrise Lands) short story
I’ve been going around saying I have three eligible stories, but it seems the number is actually four. Hmm.
Two of them are flash fiction, so I’ll only include the longer ones:
“Behesht” from “Roar 8”
“The Surface Tension” from “Dogs of War II”
Hey guys! I have 3 eligible stories. In personal favorite order:
While it Lasts, in Arcana
Lone, in Species: Wolves
Cross of Valor Reception for the Raccoon Tanner Williams; Declassified Transcript, in Dogs of War
Edit: removed Street Fox, because Species: Foxes released this month, so it’ll be on next year’s list
For FWG members only: for the month of February, get 30% off the print and digital versions of both reWritten and Symbol of a Nation, both elligible for all the awards, with code awards2017.
Hope you guys enjoy these stories as much as we did!
For Best Novel:
Book #1 of the Valens Legacy series: Black Friday, by Jan Stryvant
(On Amazon)
Better late than never because I’m terribly slack! Not many eligible stuff from Jaffa Books, but they are:
Novel
Fire Branded Leather - F. Gibbs
Fate of Three - J.F.R. Coates
In 2017 I published:
Novel: “Thousand Tales: Learning To Fly”
Short story collections: “Perspective Flip” and “Mythic Transformations”
A reminder that if you want to pickup reWritten or Symbol of a Nation, whether digital or physical, you have just a few more days to do so at 30% off with code awards2017. Remember that this is for FWG members only, so please don’t share the code.
Hey all! I’m really sorry I’m late to the party on this, but my novel “The Wayward Astronomer” is eligible to be nominated for the 2017 Coyotyl award!
Amazon Page: http://amzn.to/2EDYFfy
Book Website: http://www.thewaywardastronomer.com
I’m not sure if anyone here has yet picked up a copy, but I hope the strong reviews (4.8/5.0 with over 40 reviews) on Amazon will coax you into giving it a shot! I appreciate your consideration, and I’ll be nominating some works I’ve enjoyed from 2017 as well!
