I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the 2012 Rose & Bay Award for Best Fiction is "No Dominion" by C. E. Murphy.
This is the original nomination:
Project Title: No Dominion
Creator Name: C. E. Murphy
Link: Landing page, Kickstarter page
Category: Fiction
Summary: No Dominion is a Kickstarter funded project to write a novel and several short stories and novellas set in Murphy's Walker Papers universe. I think it was significant for two reasons: first, it's a completely crowd-funded project in a world which has previously been published traditionally, and second, it is the fifth most successful Kickstarter fiction project of all time, at over $20K in funding. (If you don't count RPG fiction, it's the most successful F/SF Kickstarter novel ever.) The first short story written for the project, "Forgotten But By A Few," is available at the first link above.
There were 11 nominees and 190 voters in the Fiction category for 2012. To learn more about the Rose & Bay Awards honoring excellence in cyberfunded creativity, please visit the 2012 landing page.
