The goblins brought it up as a joke but the spooky co-eds spoke.

Now in this year of 2024, the first Cummies are born.

What are the DLP Cummies?

The Cummies will juicily celebrate horror authors and presses. These awards will be run as a Peoples’ Choice Awards, which means you get to nominate and vote on the books, poetry, and presses that have really inspired you this year. Cum and show your love. Nom those authors and presses!

Or if you’re the writer/press, nom yourself. The categories are listed below.

When?

Nominations will be accepted October through November. Voting happens in December. Announcements in January.

How?

The goblins will open a google form for noms and then for voting. Keep an eye on our social media, this page, or sign up for our newsletter through the Contact page to have an alert sent right to your email.

Eligibility

Anything published between Oct and Oct. So the 2024 awards will accept publications between Oct 2023 - Oct 2024. This obviously doesn’t apply to the press award.

We shouldn’t have to say this but no AI. These awards are for writers and artists, not AI thieves.

Awards

Winners will receive a handcrafted Cummie award and files for that year’s seals (if you’re on the final ballot or a winner, you’ll get a seal!), in case you’re crazy enough to want to have a DLP Cummies seal on the front of your book.

Seal designs are designed by the goblins and voted upon by our patrons! If you want voting power on seal designs, consider joining our Patreon!
