Award eligibility: Hugo and Nebula Awards.

Hugo and Nebula nominations are now open. In both cases, works are eligible if they were published in the calendar year preceding this one (2010), and carry requirements for voter eligibility. Statistically speaking, you'll probably know if you're eligible to vote. For the Hugos, you need to have been a member of Aussiecon IV (WorldCon 2010) or a member of Renovation (Worldcon 2011) to nominate. For the Nebulas, you must be an active or associate member of SFWA.

Short stories.

* "Dying With Her Cheer Pants On."
* "Everglades."

Technically, all of "Sparrow Hill Road" is eligible, but I recommend looking at "Good Girls Go To Heaven," "Last Dance With Mary Jane," "Faithfully," or "Thunder Road" if you were considering nominating one of these.

Novels.

* A Local Habitation.
* An Artificial Night.
* Feed (as Mira Grant).

...it's a little scary, seeing my 2010 book publications boiled down to something that streamlined. It's also a little scary realizing that I published three books in 2010. I need a nap.

Best Related Work.

* Chicks Dig Timelords (I was a contributor, along with many others).

I am no longer eligible for the Campbell Award, although I will be in Reno to pass the tiara to the next honored recipient.

To be quite honest, it would be an honor beyond reckoning, and also the scariest thing in the history of ever, if I were nominated for a Hugo award. For anything, really. I'm proud of pretty much everything I did in 2010, including my failure to faint during the Hugo Award Ceremony in Australia. I think Feed may be the most solid stand-alone book I have ever written, so there's that.

Anyway, that's my eligibility. I'll try to have more in this listing next year.

I need to figure out the nominating thing. . . apparently this is something that I need to be more proactive about than hoping something will show up in my inbox. :P

I've been planning on nominating Feed since I realized I COULD nominate, so yeah. Don't want to miss that.

You do need a nap. And sweetheart, if you have more in this listing next year, including in the Novel category, California is probably going to implode. :P

I can live with that.
