That applies to the Origins Awards' *nomination* process, not write-in voting. The general public can cast write-in votes for whatever product they consider worthwhile. Pay a trifle more attention, Nick... the awards are in the *voting* phase, not the nomination phase.

Look inside your copy, Nick, and you'll notice that the copyright date for THUNDER REBELS is December 2000. The ship date is *not* the criteron by which eligibility is determined AFAIK.

Wesley's Lunar map was not published in 2000 so it is not eligible for a 2001 Origins Award. Awards for a year are given to product published in the previous calendar year.
