Or it should have been. I've just heard from Niki that the website is wrong - James Lear won. Some bloody fool should be sorted out. It reminds me of that infamous year at the Nebulas where Gene Wolfe's award was announced, but as Gene stood up he was told they'd made a mistake and the vote was "No Award". | ||

You get prizes for making someone's bum bleed? Why did nobody tell me this?  | ||

No, it's a literary prize. | ||

The torture of thinking you've won, then finding out you didn't, to Niki, must have been... delicious....  | ||

So presumably Gene Wolf would have won if his book had been a little bit better? Kind of a kick in the teeth to tell you that. It happened at the crime writers' thingumajig one time too. They announced all the people shortlisted for best newcomer and then said no one was good enough. You'd get our vote, though, Niki! | ||

Craig, there's a real difference between receiving consensual punishment and BEING JERKED AROUND ON A CHAIN. Though it's clearly a difference as poorly understood by award committees as it is by office managers. Niki, you have my sympathy. Great cover BTW. | ||

She doesn't want your sympathy, Joel... she wants you to spank her....  Where's my TBR pile? I see I might have a new book coming to the top of it. | ||

Sorry to hear about this fiasco, Niki. Congratulations on such a well-received book, though! | ||

Whoops, Ally. Alas, you need to read the second post. | ||

It is okay Ramsey - I did read it but wanted to congratulate Niki anyway :>) |
