View from Valhalla

For those of us, social media pros and fans alike, that want to make an informed decision when nominating our favorite stories for a parsec, I decided to try to put together a list of possible nominees. If you are a podcast author, or just a fan of a particular author that isn’t listed, I would love to add you to the list. This is a work in progress. Please send the necessary information to submissions at viewfromvalhalla.com and I’ll update the list as soon as possible.

The submissions policy for the Parsecs can be found here. I am not recommending that you nominate anyone, I am just wanting to try to help everyone know who is eligible.

Following are a list of the categories with eligible podcast in each category. If you’re curious on what makes a podcast eligible in that division, you can find that information here.

I would also like to remind everyone of the following statement taken directly from the Parsec Awards website: Each podcast only needs to submitted once. The Parsec Awards are not a popularity contest and duplicate submissions will be combined with any existing submission for a podcast. If you wish to second a nomination for a podcast please do so by adding a comment to the submission page.

One final disclaimer: I am posting what I am told is eligible and make no claims of eligibility myself. Please be sure you check for yourself where your favorite podcast belongs.

Good luck to all podcasters. I wish you could all win.
