Hey, the BFS longlist has been announced! And I'm on it! As are lots (and I do mean lots) of other people! Congratulations all! http://www.britishfantasysociety.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i d=592:british-fantasy-awards-2010-the-longlist&catid=34:bfas&Itemid=35 Any BFS member who wants to read my longlisted story, Marley's Haunting, contact with directly and I can send you a PDF of it. Not that I want you to read it and consider voting for me so that it progresses onto the longlist, oh no. That would be tacky. This is just for the sake of information! S |

Yeah, yeah - don't spoil it for me, this is a first as far as I'm concerned! I realise I've got bugger-all chance of getting any further than this but still... S |

Very happy but slightly embarrassed to have picked up a recommendation for Theaker's Quarterly. However, this could be my year. For one thing, Postscripts is now counted among the anthologies rather than magazines. And for another, I'm about to treat the awards admin to a cup of tea. ![](http://www.knibbworld.com/campbelldiscuss/clipart/wink.gif) |

Interesting looking list. Congrats to all - and especially Stephen with TQF. I know how much work you've put into that, so you really deserve it! Hey folks, you've forgotten to mention Des. Cern Zoo is there too. And a special "well done" to Simon as it's your first. In fact, I've kind of got a first on there too. This story: WORLD WITHOUT END, Marie O’Regan, The Thinking Man’s Crumpet #2 This was the TTMC when I was involved in helping Coral out a bit. But I must stress, Coral did all the hard work here - I was just helping out a bit. Well done, Coral. I know about the blood, sweat and tears which has gone into producing TTMC too. You really deserve this! ![](http://www.knibbworld.com/campbelldiscuss/clipart/kiss.gif) |

Thanks, Carioline, for mention of CERN ZOO in longlist? Surprised none of the CZ stories made the longlist - including the one Ellen Datlow chose for her 'Best of' book. |

Isn't anything published by the BFS not eligible to receive an award as it seems too much self-love? |

I've just started that BFS Yearbook and have only read three or four stories so far but agree with Mr Unsworth there; Stephen Volk's tale is very good indeed. |

Steve's right. The BFS Yearbook and In Conversation picked up quite a few recommendations, but all had to be ignored I'm afraid. |

'I'm surprised the Steve Volk's After the Ape from the BFS yearbook didnt get in - it's a story I absolutely loved.' I agree. I rec'd loads and thought someone else would rec it and now wish I had. Not many seem to rec and then... all join in later. |
