For those who are writers, Ellen Datlow has posted her list of Honourable Mentions for 2008. In the past, in the YBF&H, they would all be printed in the book; due to space restrictions, however, only the top 50 were included. The rest were published to the internet today. http://tinyurl.com/yhbflvg From my overview, here's the numbers for RCMBers: Ally - 6 Laird - 1 Ramsey - 2 Steve D - 1 Simon B - 3 Mike K - 2 Joel - 7 Zed - 7 John P - 5 Barbara - 4 Simon S - 5 Simon U - 1 And, of those, here are those who made it into the top 50 (and thus into the actual book) Ally - 1 Laird - 1 Ramsey - 2 Simon B - 1 Steve D - 1 Joel - 2 John P - 1 Simon S - 1 Barbara - 1 | ||

Excellent work Simon! I was thinking it must be HM time pretty soon and I would never have found / seen that list if you hadn't posted this. Well done to everyone! | ||

Very well done, folks. Nice to see these little boosts to the morale. | ||

General list: Me 1 Tony 1 Actually, I'm surprised as much as I am pleased to find I get a mention. That particular tale seemed to be liked by no one but Barbara and Christopher (who kindly published it) and my girlfriend. so that's neat. | ||

I apologise for missing the two of you, Mark. I skimmed the list fairly quickly. No doubt I've missed others as well. | ||

That's weird Mark - I saw your and Tony's names on the list and I was sure I saw them at the head of this thread. Maybe the internet ate them ;-> | ||

Bloody hell. Captain Awesome's not mentioned I squeezed into the Top 50 either. I'm especially pleased to be there. I feel like John Barrowman unfashionably tripping up the hit parade. | ||

(No apologies needed, Simon: it does rather feed mine and Tony's insecurities, so it's perfectly all right!) | ||

Cripes, Mark; I feel worse now about the treatment I gave you and Tony. If only I could edit the entry, I'd fix it up real nice-like. | ||

Five stories from SHADES OF DARKNESS, and my tale from EXOTIC GOTHIC 2, in the top 50. Very pleased with that! And congratulations to everyone who made either list. | ||

As far as I'm aware this the first time I've ever had an Honourable Mention and then it didn't even make it into the book. Oh well. | ||

Simon or anyone that knows please - my computer won't let me read that long-list etc is it posted anywhere else? My spyblocker won't let me into the long list on Ellen's journal. Which are the 6 stories from Bull Running for Girls on the other list? Simon can you email me the linkpage open for the long list? | ||

It is okay Simon and all. I've found it - thank you! | ||
