For years, sports fans have created fantasy teams for various sports, leaving fantasy novels out in the cold.
“I have no idea how baseball or football managed to usurp the fantasy game title for so long, but it’s time to take back the reigns,” wrote Michael J. Martineck this week, launching a Fantasy Fantasy League–letting fantasy readers pick the winners before the World Fantasy Award ceremony. Martineck is the author of The Mispellers and Cinco de Mayo.
Sign up here: “For now, here’s the Fantasy Fantasy League choices. Make your picks before midnight Oct. 30. If you figure them all correctly – based on the winners, as decided Oct. 31 at the World Fantasy Award Banquet – I’ll send you a signed copy of Cinco de Mayo AND a vintage signed copy of The Misspellers. If there’s more than one winner, I’ll be stunned. When I recover, I’ll randomize. Enter now, enter once. Help return the fantasy helm to the righteous, chaotic neutral, and evil hordes.”
