I’ve just done my Ditmar nominations, using my handy dandy Eligible Works spreadsheet! It occurs to me that I may not have actually mentioned some things I’ve worked on or loved that are eligible for this year, so a few mentions…
New Ceres Nights, edited by Alisa Krasnostein & Tehani Wessely, Twelfth Planet Press (Collected Works) – there are a number of stories and novelettes in NCN eligible in their respective categories too – see the spreadsheet!)
ASIF website – I contribute lots to this, and know how much work goes in by Alisa, Gene and all the reviewers behind the scenes (Fan Publication)
All the reviewers (including me) are also eligible as Fan Writer nominees
Horn, by Peter M Ball, Twelfth Planet Press (Best Novella/Novelette)
Siren Beat, by Tansy Rayner Roberts, Twelfth Planet Press (Best Novella/Novelette)
Wives, by Paul Haines (X6)
Thoraiya Dyer – Best New Talent
Peter M Ball – Best New Talent
Jason Fischer – Best New Talent
New Ceres Nights Book Launch (Swancon 2009) – ALISA KRASNOSTEIN, LIZ GRZYB, TEHANI WESSELY, CAT SPARKS AND KATE WILLIAMS (Best Achievement)
Helen Merrick for The Secret Feminist Cabal (William Atheling JR)
Cover Design of Siren Beat/Roadkill, Amanda Rainey (Best Professional Artwork)
Cover Art for New Ceres Nights, Dion Hamill – Dion also did the artwork for Horn and Siren Beat/Roadkill and is awesome.
I could keep going, but that’s what the spreadsheet is for!
Nominations close soon – anyone in fandom can nominate – to vote, you’ll have to join Dudcon or have been a member of last year’s Natcon in Melbourne!
