Thursday's obscure post

[redbird]

I've accepted an invitation to be a juror for the 2003 Tiptree Award. *grin*

When I posted that, I had been invited and not decided whether to accept, because I wanted an idea of how much work is involved. Given that I handled the book-of-the-week club in freshman English while holding down a full schedule and without a subway ride to read during, I think I can handle the amount involved here.

I was delighted and flattered to be invited, and am excited by the idea.

Woohoo!

In which case I shall uncloak and reveal myself as the chair of the next Tiptree jury.

That's almost too cool for words. You'll both be good at it, too.

That is so cool, I feel like an utter fangirl all of a sudden. Congratulations.

Oh my! Congratulations on the honor. That's a heady responsibility (coming from a person who's spent almost 3 months on the same Year's Best Science Fiction :: sob :: ); best of luck with the reading load.

Congratulations and have fun. Question: D'ya know if Bouncing Off the Moon was nominated for whatever year it was eligible? I checked what I think is the right page ( iirc), but couldn't find long lists for the years in question. I don't necessarily think it should've won, but there's some really interesting stuff around the middle of the book.

For me, it's Mythopoeic season -- gotta prepare for a longish booklist, and I've no idea what'll be on it. I'm nominating Fall of the Kings. mnemex is nominated Eye of Night. Mary Kay Kare is nominating Stories of Your Life. Okay, I've read 1 1/3 out of 3. But I know there's going to be more on the list. Wondering what I've missed from last year.

No, you'd have to delete and repost. If you're going to do that, you might want to copy the text into another window before clicking on the red X to delete.

Okay, here's that comment, second attempt, sans html this time.

Addendum: Just nominated The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke to the Mythopoeic Adults' List. Not sure if this was the right call, but that's what the committee (including me) can check on.

Way cool!

[volund.livejournal.com]

Yowza! Near-infinite coolness!

I know you'll handle this responsibility well.

[marykaykare.livejournal.com]

How very cool. Reading for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award isn't nearly so cool. Color me green and congratualtions!
