Rhysling!

[leahbobet]

I am informed that "Three Deaths", which appeared in Lone Star Stories #21, has been nominated for the 2008 long form Rhysling Award.

I think they're giving them out at Readercon again this year, so I even get to fancy up and lose in person. :)

Whee!

Congrats.

(That is some excellent poem, btw.)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) It was one that made me proud, so the validation in this case is extra nice.

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

It deserves the nomination. :)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Eeesh. *blushfumblefleeeee*

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

Hey, that theme is pretty close to my heart. :P

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Classics or killin'? *g*

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

If I say both, that's going to incriminate me, isn't it?

Both. :)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

*incriminated!*

(here's a Killin'! icon.)

*admires it*

Thanks! :)

Congratulations! Kick-ass poem; it deserves the nomination.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) *flattered*

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Congratulations.

And shut up about losing. You could win!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Hee. I suspect I won't. SFPA is full of a lot of people who are better at this thing than I am.

But losing in person, with fancy, and getting some lobster after at Readercon? Pretty awesome.

Hey, congrats!

It *is* a good poem; you've got a shot. And regardless, afterward when you walk into Mafia, folks will be all intimidated giving you the slight edge you need to kill the entire village.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Heeee. That's the other thing I'm psyched about Readercon for. Mafia!

I won Mafia last time and I was so excited I couldn't sleep. :D

Congratulations, Leah! :-)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

From the people who've announced so far, it looks like a serious banner year for Lone Star. :)

[ericmarin.livejournal.com]

I read about Sonya's nominations today. :-) Has anyone else announced a nomination for an LSS poem?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I had this idea somehow that Mike Allen's was also from LSS, but I appear to be wrong.

Doesn't matter, bet there's more to come!

[ericmarin.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm certainly happy to know of three LSS poetry nominations. :-) Congratulations again, Leah!
