Here are the 2011 prose and artworks from Fantastique Unfettered that are eligible for (Hugo/Nebula) award nomination. Perhaps in 2012 we will make that Semiprozine claim, but at this point it seems appropriate to define FU as a fanzine. A separate post is forthcoming with poetry award eligibility.

Best (fan?) Artist: (my parenthetical here is due to the high quality of artwork contributed by artists who are professionals in their field. I am also only listing cover artists and those few items commissioned, since most interior art has been done in-house by the editorial staff or contributed on a exposure basis.)
