Sadly, it didn't make the ballot. But now we have another chance, because Bois is at it again, with a piece of multimedia fiction (it could only be published online). I think it's titled &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/a\/17776-football\">17776<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The first chapter of this piece is a lovely and moving and sweet story that has very little to do with football, and that I think will be of interest to many science-fiction fans. The rest of it is more specifically focused on football, but still fun science fiction even for non-football fans like me.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is mostly text, with images, and a lot of scrolling, and occasional videos.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend chapter 1, and I've enjoyed the rest too. I'll likely nominate this for a Hugo next year, though I'm not sure what category to put it in. Probably Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, I nominated Jon Bois&#8217;s unusual future-of-football story &ldquo;Tebow in the CFL: A memoir&rdquo; for a Hugo&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speculative-fiction"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15550\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
