Dragon Awards, Revisited

I wouldn't come back to this so soon, except for the fact that, on the fourteenth of April, Dragoncon revised the eligibility window for the Dragon Awards. Sharply. No longer are they at calendar year plus one ore two months, depending on category. Now, they are going to 7/1/2015 to 6/30/2016. That's a neat trick, as nominating ends before that.

I do want them to succeed, and I wrote them to make them aware of the overlap of windows being backwards, and the shadiness of moving the window after opening nominations.

 My current advice: wait until June to nominate, so they can't change the windows again.
