What do I have to lose?

I wasn't going to do this because my odds of ending up on the Hugo list are vanishingly small, but what the heck. If you're eligible to nominate for the Hugos, here's what I've published in 2008 that you might consider:

Novel
Midnight Never Come

Short stories
"Lost Soul" -- Intergalactic Medicine Show #7, January 2008
"Kiss of Life" -- Beneath the Surface, ed. Tim Deal, 2008
"The Deaths of Christopher Marlowe" -- Paradox #12, April 2008
"Beggar's Blessing" -- Shroud Magazine #2, 2008
"A Mask of Flesh" -- Clockwork Phoenix, ed. Mike Allen, July 2008
"Kingspeaker" -- Beneath Ceaseless Skies #3, November 2008
"A Heretic by Degrees" -- Intergalactic Medicine Show #10, November 2008

You know, at least you're upfront about it, as in "hey, Hugos are open and here's what i've written, feel free to nominate me but i don't expect it." Cory Doctorow's post on boingboing was very "the Hugos are awesome and here's what they are and while we're at it these are the things i've written that i should be nominated for." Something about it really just annoyed me. I prefer it when people just flat out say "hey, if you wanted to nominate this, i'd think it awesome" instead of trying to pretend that they're saying something else.

Once I get acknowledgment from Anticipation that I am registered, I will gladly nominate MNC and "A Mask of Flesh." (As I have read those ones, so it's not ballet stuffing.)

Ballerinas generally object to stuffing, anyway. They need to stay skinny. ^_^

Well, it appears the draft has done my brain in more than I thought. Oops!

No worries. It just amused me. :-)

It is a good one. I'll have ask my friend who teaches ballet if she'd like to be stuffed.

Be careful that you don't do it in Australia, then, as you might not be asking the question you think you're asking.

LOL! Aussie have some of the best slang. :)
