Tony Mercer won for Best Sound Design, and Kathryn Muir won for Best Producer! Congratulations to both, as these awards are well-deserved. The show wouldn't be what it is without their amazing dedication and contributions.

Sci-Fi Pulse Reviews Abnormal Fixation's first episode, "The Contest"
Sci-Fi Pulse just reviewed an advance copy of our first Abnormal Fixation episode, "The Contest!"
Here's a quote:
Muir has written a warm-hearted and engaging opener. The characters are established with wit and clarity. Additionally, Muir has deftly balanced the real stakes with the comedic tone. The episode is worth it for the world-building alone. Muir gives the audience an animated sequence. Moreover, we’re treated to the delightfully earnest backstory for the family heirloom serving as Elvis’ collateral...I'm hooked."
"The Contest" drops on YouTube on January 23!
