2010 Nebula Nominations

Happy Yellow StarThis was my first year of nominating for the Nebulas (and Ray Bradbury Award), so I had to come up with a method and all that. My method was to think of stories that stuck with me (in a good way), list them out, then split them into the award categories. Though I could nominate five in each, if there weren't five things I wanted to nominate, I left empty slots.

I've linked to any with online versions, so at least other people might read them (even if they don't make it to the final ballot).




Short Story

Novelette

  • Pishaach, Shweta Narayan (The Beastly Bride [anthology])
  • Plague Birds, Jason Sanford (Interzone) - Link is a PDF on the author's site.



Novel

  • The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N. K. Jemisin



Bradbury Award

  • Being Human: Episode 1 (Series 2), Toby Whithouse - This is the BBC series, not the American remake.
  • Doctor Who: The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, Steven Moffat
  • Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol, Steven Moffat
  • Iron Man 2
  • Toy Story 3



Update 22 Feb 2011: The official nominees have been announced. From the ones I nominated, these got through: Pishaach (Shweta Narayan), The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (N.K. Jemisin) and Toy Story 3. Doctor Who has a nomination for another episode (Vincent and the Doctor), which I suppose'll do. Yay for everyone who got through!

That's neat: I know Nicky Drayden, we went to VP together last October. She writes great short stories.

Yay! I've read some of her stories before on critique sites. It's nice to see her getting some sales.

I thought for a second that you had been nominated, but alas.

Still a cool idea and practice for the (near) future.

:D

I don't think anyone nominated me, so not those kind of yays. ;)
