The Nebula thing.

[leahbobet]

Okay, so I asked, and you answered, and the overwhelming consensus was that I should get over myself and just post what I've got eligible for nominations this year. The first half of that equation is still in process (heh) but enough to handle the second.

---

Novella
Sugar, Shadow Unit 2x02, April 2009.

Short Stories
"Bell, Book, and Candle" in Clockwork Phoenix, Mike Allen, ed., July 2008.
"Kimberley Ann Duray is Not Afraid" in Strange Horizons, week of September 29, 2008.
"Boxing Day" in H.P. Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror #5, April 2009.
"The Parable of the Shower" in Lone Star Stories #33, June 2009.
"Six" in Clockwork Phoenix 2, July 2009.
"Mister Oak" in Realms of Fantasy, February 2010 (release December 2009, according to slushmaster).

Obviously I wrote none of it, but would urge people to consider anything published in Ideomancer this year. Because our authors are awesome, yo.

That being said, if I was eligible to nominate stuff for the Nebula I would be nominating:

The City and the City, China Mieville
The Manual of Detection, Jedediah Berry
The Love We Share Without Knowing, Christopher Barzak
"Intertropical Convergence Zone", Nadia Bulkin, in ChiZine #37
"Miles Blows His Last", Jason L. Corner, in Ideomancer, Sept. 2009
"The Promise of Touch", Steven Mohan, Jr., in Ideomancer, March 2009.
"each thing I show you is a piece of my death", Gemma Files and Stephen J. Barringer, Clockwork Phoenix 2, July 2009.
"Snow Dragons," Elizabeth Bear, Subterranean Press, Summer 2009.

That is most of what truly knocked me on my ass this year.

There you have it, and I'm going back to work now.

Would you be able to nom Ideomancer stuff under the rules?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Me personally or one in general? For one in general, it looks like it's fine under the stuff in English published on the internet rule. If I'm reading this right, that is.

[merriehaskell.livejournal.com]

You personally. I don't think you're allowed to nom if you edit or have a commercial investment. I don't actually KNOW--I'm still trying to parse the rules. (I could go ask, of course.)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh. Well, moot point, probably. I am not currently SFWAed up.

[merriehaskell.livejournal.com]

True! I'm just quibbling. For no very good reason, I suspect.

[douglascohen.livejournal.com]

Definitely releasing in December 2009 (4th maybe? or 6th?). I received some early copies of the February 2010 issue and was actually passing them out at the SFWA Reception earlier tonight.

I think you'll like the art.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, real soon then. Look forward to it! :)

[shweta-narayan.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, the Parable of the Shower is yours!
I had somehow missed that, probably cause I'm bad at relating names and lj-names.

I didn't join SFWA, but -- want to say, I loved it greatly and passed it on to several people :)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, thank you! Glad you liked it. :) And that, actually, is better than nominations.

[shweta-narayan.livejournal.com]

Well... nominations do imply somebody liked the stories, surely :)
But you're very welcome, and thank you for the fun of reading it.
