[ellen_datlow]

For anyone interested, the following pieces of fiction published in Subterranean #7, guest edited by me, expire at the end of this month:
Novella
Vacancy by Lucius Shepard

Short stories
Under the Bottom of the Lake by Jeffrey Ford (very close to getting ten recs)
Holiday by M. Rickert (even closer to getting ten recs)
Pirates of the Somali Coast by Terry Bisson
City of Night by Joel Lane and John Pelan
The King of the Big Night Hours by Richard Bowes

If you haven't read them, you can (if you're a SFWA member) on the website.

Remind me again who is eligible to do this?

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Active members of The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America...ie SFWA.

[(Anonymous)]

Not to mentionthe short story:

The King of the Big Night Hours by Richard Bowes

(who happens to be me)

Damn! I'm sorry Rick. I had that up there but cut and pasted something and accidentally deleted your story...Yes, read Rick's story too please. It's terrific!

Hi Ellen. Do you know if one has to be a member of SFWA to see the stories on the preliminary list and how many votes they currently have?

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Yes you do. I know how many votes they have but I don't feel I can give out that information.

[vylar-kaftan.livejournal.com]

I did my part on one of them already!

I'm making some nominations this month and I'll check these out. Anything else you think I should read while I'm at it?

Hi Vy,
You might want to take a look at Nathan Ballingrud's "Monsters of Heaven" from INFERNO (several are recommended but most wouldn't qualify as sf or fantasy) and the some of the stories from The Del Rey Book of SF&F ;-). I'm not allowed to play favorites but several are already online there because they're recced....

[vylar-kaftan.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll do that if I have some time. :)

[mroctober.livejournal.com]

From Inferno, I recommend "The Janus Tree" and "Apiary of White Bees"

Made my SFWA reccs already.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

They're both terrific stories, but I feel weird about reccing stories.
What I will do, is note the stories with recs about two weeks before the anthology and its stories are ineligible. INFERNO was published in December so it still has a few months to go.
