Ellen, can you please clarify something for me? We'll take "Holiday" as an example. It was published Sep07 and has 6 recommendations.
My understanding is that if it receives 10 recommendations on or before the 31st, it'll go to the 2008 preliminary ballot. If the 10th recommendation comes between Jan08 and Aug08, then "Holiday" would be on the 2009 preliminary ballot. Right?
And if it qualifies for the 2008 preliminary ballot, how does that affect its eligibility in 2009 if it a) doesn't make final ballot, or b) is on the final ballot but does not win?
Feel free to point me to a web page. I read the Nebula rules in the SFWA Forum but either I missed it or it didn't cover this situation.
