Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that authors could win a second time if they've been active over the current year and have put out new work. The way that I interpreted the rule anyway was that it was put in place so that old fanons could not win a second time (since fanons like Seychelles and Santa Cruz would win awards every year otherwise).

The way that it applies to authors is that since Coolio has been an active author in 2017, he is eligible to win at the 2017 awards.

Whereas Ckarimalis for example, while he was a great illustrator, since his newest Fanon is 2 years old, would not be eligible for the award.

I hope that clears that issue up for you. As I said, if I am understanding that wrong, someone please correct me. Thanks. :)
