It's that time of year again: the Aurealis Award judges honour some and overlooks others, sometimes seemingly on a whim, but always (he says from experience) after long and careful consideration. I feel very fortunate to be nominated again this year, since the field is so unbelievably strong, and I'm glad to be in such excellent company (on and off the lists). I'm looking forward to January 24, when we celebrate this wonderful, vibrant community of ours, and I hope you'll come along to join in.

For the record (because this is where I tend to keep track of these things) my nominations are:

Earth Ascendant - Best SF Novel
The Changeling - Best YA Novel and Best Children's Long Fiction
The Dust Devils - Best Children's Long Fiction
Magic Dirt: The Best of Sean Williams - Best Collection

(Sorry about the subject line, btw. I knew [livejournal.com profile] millisynth would like it. :-)

Thanks, Karen. I wish I could still fit into that tux. And I wish I still had that hair! :-)

Yeah. Sometimes, occasionally, it's not so bad being a girl. *g*

Congrats, and where are they having the big shindig this year? Brisbane as usual?

Yes, Bris Vegas it is. I'm looking forward to it, whichever way it goes.

Why don't they show some originality and have it on a supertanker going to Panama?

I reckon it should rotate around the captial cities and Alice Springs. That way at least one set of financially strapped writers get a break.

Like the natcon. Good idea!

While most of the funding comes from the Brisbane government, though, I reckon we're stuck with it where it is.

Hooray for it being held in Brisbane, I say!
It's the only sure guarantee that Jay and I get to see you every 12 months - LOL!

Btw, truly appreciated the title of this thread... ;-)

Thanks! Four might be a bit greedy to hope for, though. :-)
