ann_leckieSo, SFWA has announced this year's Nebula Ballot!
It's a great thing to wake up to! Everyone who follows this LJ knows I loved Embassytown, so I'm really happy to see it on the list. Then I see that the awesome Carolyn Ives Gilman (get that blog going already so I can link to it!) is there with her awesome novella "The Ice Owl" which, if you haven't read it yet you should.
I see Rachel Swirsky is there for her novelette "Fields of Gold"! I look further down the list of novelettes.
I nearly have a stroke. Because also on that list? "Sauerkraut Station" by Ferret Steinmetz and "The Migratory Pattern of Dancers" by Katie Sparrow. Both of which appeared, of course, in GigaNotoSaurus.
Now, obviously I'm a big fan of both those stories. But, you know, that doesn't mean that enough Nebula Voters will also like them as much as I do, and enough to recommend them over other stories that are equally awesome. Apparently, however, that was the case! How wonderful!!!!
I can't tell you how pleased I am to see these stories on the ballot, and how happy I am for Katie and Ferret. Congratulations, you two!!!!!
