The Hugos have been announced! I'm including a list of the winners below the cut for those of you who might not have seen yet:
( And the 2008 Hugo award winners are... )
I don't know about any of those novels or novellas sadly, but will definitely be checking them out. I am familiar with both of the film award winners and think they're both well-deserving.
Congratulations to LJ-local Elizabeth Bear ! I'm also pleased to note that her winning story, "Tideline", rides the crest of interstitiality: it's inspired by a necklace called "Sinners in the Hands of a Mildly Startled Buddha" by Elise Mattheson .
This weekend also saw the announcement of the winners in Weird Tales' flash fiction Spam-ade! contest.
I entered this contest with the amusing spam headline: "Dark Knight disapproved by Vaticans due to Satanic links." Sadly, my little Monty Python-esque piece was not one of the finalists. No worries, though! I'll share my silly Spam-ade! story with you on Wednesday. An extra bit of fiction for the week!
Beneath the cut, you can see the headlines that did win:
( The Spammies go to... )
Coming up:
D is for Desire: A Tale from the Wishing Well on Monday, August 11th.
"Dark Knight Disapproved by Vaticans Due to Satanic Links": Spam Fiction on August 13th.
