Two more days to the Nebula rec deadline

[ellen_datlow]

It has been pointed out to me by a friend that I may not be permitted to post the below info--so I've modified it...sorry if I screwed up:

The preliminary ballot is finally shaping up. However...the fact that there are still categories that barely have enough recs to make the preliminary ballot is a travesty. I don't read all the many strictly sf stories any more as most of my anthos (and the YBFH) concentrate on fantasy and horror but I KNOW there are more sf/f stories out there worthy of your recommendations. So read and DO IT--now!!!!


Plus THE TERROR by Simmons has almost enough recs to make the preliminary ballot and its eligibility ends the 31st...I'm more than half way through it now and still loving it. Someone out there must love it as much as I and others who have blogged about it do.

Go go go go....

In the below case, yes it would roll over till the 09 preliminary ballot.

>>>>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?

I found the rule:

A work is eligible to be placed on the Preliminary Nebula Ballot only once.A work that has been placed on the Preliminary Nebula Ballot is no longer eligible, even if the twelve month eligibility period has not expired.

Thanks very much! I haven't gotten into the forums yet because I just got my password only two weeks ago, and haven't had time to browse around yet.
