At this point, we have a winner (we're waiting for Karen Joy Fowler to make the formal announcements, and I suspect she wants to notify the winner before sending out press releases or putting anything up on tiptree.org, but I don't think it's jumping the gun to say that we have a winner), and a shortlist. I just took the list of works we had and, as requested, emailed it to Karen with author names and publication information.
We still need to finish compiling the longlist, and write about why we selected the things we selected. So our work is not yet done, but I think we're entitled to a sense of accomplishment.
To celebrate, I'm going to either eat ice cream, reread the winner, or go back to reading Steve Brust's The Paths of the Dead. Okay, I will do all three, starting with the ice cream, but I'm not sure what order I'll read in. I should also go back and get out some of the books that got "read this later, it's good but not Tiptreeish" from my fellow jurors.

That is, rather than having a shortlist from which a winner is selected, we read all year, take notes and discuss as we go, and then make our choices. Details vary from year to year and jury to jury, but I think that much of the pattern is set. In particular, we don't announce a shortlist and then leave everyone to wait and/or argue while we select a winner from that shortlist.
