Not sure what VD’s goal is since "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" isn’t even a novelette. The thing’s less than 5000 words. No one could No Award it since it’d get disqualified beforehand.

We already know he has trouble counting past 5 without taking off the other mitten. Counting to see if it makes novelette length? He’d get lost after 21. Okay, 20 and a half.

The preliminary recommendations for the Best Novella category.Also, I stand corrected. The intrepid readers at File 770 have been gracious enough to inform us that "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" is not actually a novelette, and therefore belongs in the short story category.I sincerely apologize for this inexcusable and unconscionable error, and will, of course, make the appropriate adjustments when the final Rabid Puppies list of recommendations is presented next week.
