Erk. Nebula time again.
Nov. 17th, 2010 02:47 pmSo, erk, it's Nebula nominating time again. I feel a bit squicky about this whole process, especially since I haven't gotten around to joining SFWA yet (renovating, moving and a completely unrelated project all hitting at once will do that to you), so I won't be nominating anything immediately myself. In the meantime, since everybody else is doing it, for those readers who are SFWA members, here's a list of my eligible works, as far as I can remember:
Mademoiselle and the Chevalier, November 2010, Fantasy Magazine
"Ravens," in The Phantom Queen Awakes, Morrigan Books, which is also available in Kindle format.
And then the flash fiction, which I'm more dubious about mentioning (does flash ever get nominated for the Nebula? I can't remember.)
Sparks, September 2010, Daily Science Fiction
Bonfire and Pearls, September 2010, Cabinet des Fees
Believing (based on my email and LJ comments, my hands down reader favorite of the year so far)
Exile (the second reader favorite of the year)
Shifting
And in its absence, hunger
Singing the Herons
The Ties that Bind
But the main story that I am proud of this year, that has generated the hands down most reviews, readers, and comments, positive and negative, is "Twittering the Stars," in Shine: An Anthology of Optimistic Science Fiction, also available in Kindle format. The anthology has several other stories well worth your notice (as does The Phantom Queen Awakes, for that matter). The story was a difficult technical achievement, and I regard it as one of the better, if not the best thing, that I've done. Oh, and in good Nebula tradition, it's hard science fiction.
And now back to your regular slightly less self-pimping day, and for me, more unpacking.
