ecstatic
catvalente's story of sex and the city (also sex with the city) is up for the 2010 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and her reaction post made me giggle and nod an awful lot, because she's as staggered as I am. Which I guess just proves that the shiny never wears off of the world if you keep applying coats of silver polish. We're going to wear pretty dresses and go to the awards banquet together, because that's just how we roll around here.(And I am very proud of her. Palimpsest was the little novel that could, even after everyone said it couldn't. The fact that it's on the ballot is amazing, and testifies to all things finding their place, given space enough to shine.)
In further awards-and-Australia news, Grants Pass has won the Australian Shadows Award for best anthology. This award is granted by the Australian Horror Writers Association, and is given to honor the best new Australian horror (Grants Pass was co-edited by an American and an Australian). Jennifer is now an award-winning editor! Hooray! (Also, the judge's report called out "Animal Husbandry" as a stand-out story. I am honored.)
My friends are amazing, and they do amazing things.
What a wonderful world.

I will applaud if you do. Vigorously.
