Awards season
Jan. 12th, 2014 01:51 pmThis is more by way of a "what's *not* eligible" post, because last year's output was not only minuscule, the fiction was 2/3 reprints. I'm not even going to try to name names re awards, because some of my stuff falls under all of sf&f, romance and erotica. Both Spindrift books were nominated by someone for the Spectrum a few years ago, so presumably some people do have an interest in this.
Also, I as an individual am eligible for the Ditmar. I'll bet a lot of you didn't know that. :-) (And some of you will have to Google "Ditmar".)
2013
First Footer
Cross-genre novella, 35,000 words, science fiction, m/m erotic romance set in present-day UK. Re-released by Loose Id, 23 January 2013.
Single title reprint of a novella which was published some years ago in an anthology. Reprint by pretty much everyone's rules, thus not eligible for most awards.
