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.

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

Congratulations and have fun. Question: D'ya know if Bouncing Off the Moon was nominated for whatever year it was eligible? I checked the Tiptree site, 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 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.

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.
