SFWA & Nebulas!
As of today, I am an active member of the SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America) (And Other Countries)! I’m in it for the Nebula Awards nominating and voting rights, for Griefcom, and out of curiosity.
Speaking of the Nebulas, I have one piece of work eligible this year:
- “Selin That Has Grown In The Desert” in Steam-Powered 2: More Lesbian Steampunk. This falls into the novelette category.
If you’re a SFWA member and would like to read it, let me know – I’m happy to email you a copy of the story.
At the same time, I would love to hear some recommendations. I’ve read woefully little short fiction this year, so what have I missed? What did you love in 2011? What have you got that’s eligible? I don’t think I can go buy anthologies or print zines at this point, but I’ll read Word docs if your story wasn’t published online.

oooh, yay on joining SFWA and Nebula-voting rights!
Ken Liu’s “The Man Who Ended History” (in Panverse 3, you can find it in the SFWA forums under “novella”) was the best piece of short fiction I read this year, a harsh, unflinching look at the nature of suffering and the meaning of history.
Thanks for the rec! I’ll make sure to check it out.
Oh wow! I have just realized that I (for the first time) have a story eligible in the novelette category – http://www.jabberwocky-magazine.com/2011/08/%E2%80%98kitsune%E2%80%99-fox/
. Would love to know what you think of it regardless!
I’ve read a lot of older stories lately so I’m not 100% sure what’s eligible that I remember… I’m thinking these are though – “The Girl Who Ruled Fairyland – For A Little While” by Catherynne M. Valente at Tor.com and “The Calendar of Saints” by Kat Howard in Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Really enjoyed both of them.
Can’t think of any more off the top of my head but I hope that that helps!

Yours would be in the short story category, given its length. A novelette is 7,500 words to 16,500.
Thanks for the link, and for the other recs! Now I just need to carve out some time to read them all. =D
