Hugo and Nebula nominating
Jan. 3rd, 2011 04:14 pmGrr. I hate doing this. But since everyone else seems to be doing so, while saying, "Grr, I hate doing this...."
Hugo nominations opened today; Nebula nominations are still open until February 15th; British Fantasy Awards are also open, I think. Here are my eligible works:
"Ravens," in The Phantom Queen Awakes, which, alas, almost nobody read, and the one person who certainly did, wrote me a long, negative and soul crushing email about, so I'm guessing this story is not going to be getting a lot of attention or nominations.
Mademoiselle and the Chevalier, in Fantasy Magazine, was much better received and more widely read, and is a personal favorite, but may well get lost in the plethora of outstanding work that Fantasy Magazine published last year.
And, finally, "Twittering the Stars," in Shine: An Anthology of Optimistic Science Fiction, a story in a series of tweets that can be read both backwards and forwards, and is one of my rare forays into hard science fiction. Probably the most original piece, format or plot, that I've published.
We could, of course, go wild and look at any of my eight flash fiction stories that popped up in Daily Science Fiction, Everyday Weirdness, or Cabinet des Fees, but since the nominating and voting process is not yet gung ho about flash fiction, perhaps not. (I rather wish we would could add a flash fiction category to the Hugos, at least, given the growing popularity of this art form thanks to the internet, but I'm not holding my breath for this one.)
Note: My work for Tor.com is not eligible for Best Fan Writing; please nominate any of the other incredibly great fan writers out there. Like, OZ BLOGS! (I suppose this blog is technically kinda eligible but given that I really didn't spend any time here last year chatting about speculative fiction, aside from a few movie and television snarks, I'd rather have somebody more focused nominated.)
