-  * [[w/page/94780361/John%20C%20Wright|John C. Wright]]: The most prestigious of the non-leader Puppies. The Sad Puppies 2015 slate had 2 of his works, a novella and a related work. The Rabid Puppies slate had 6 works by him: 3 novellas total, a novelette, a short story, and a related work. All of them initially made the Hugo ballot, which set a new record for total listings on the Hugo ballot by one author in one year. However, his novelette "Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus" was ruled ineligible because it was posted just before the 2014 eligibility period, and was removed from the ballot. He still had 5 works on the list, which tied for the record with Seanen McGuire. +  * [[john-c-wright|John C. Wright]]: The most prestigious of the non-leader Puppies.

His 'work', 'Wisdom from my Internet', was a collection of tweets with nothing whatsoever to do with genre fiction. Williamson later revealed that it got on the slate because Torgerson called him one day and asked what he had written that year (and was thus eligible for a Hugo) and 'Wisdom' was the work that Williamson happened to remember. +  * [[michael-z-williamson|Michael Z.

Antonelli talked a lot about how he went to conventions and bumped into many people who were pro Puppy, and therefore the Puppies had more support than their minimal presence in online fandom showed. He later became infamous for writing the Spokane police and warning that the Hugo Guest of Honor David Gerrold might incite anti-Puppy violence.+  * [[Lou-Antonelli|Lou Antonelli]].
