The most exciting thing about it from my perspective is that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.journalscape.com\/greg\">Greg van Eekhout<\/a>'s <cite>SH<\/cite> story \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2003\/20031222\/december.shtml\">In the Late December<\/a>\" is on the ballot!  Congratulations, Greg!<\/li>\n<li>I'm also pleased to see a bunch of the other stories that are on the final ballot.  (Follow the story-title links to read the stories for free online.) For example: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benjaminrosenbaum.com\/\">Ben Rosenbaum<\/a>'s \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.benjaminrosenbaum.com\/stories\/embracing.the.new.html\">Embracing-the-New<\/a>\"; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sff.net\/people\/gunn\/\">Eileen Gunn<\/a>'s \"Coming to Terms\" (from her collection <cite>Stable Strategies and Others<\/cite>); <a href=\"http:\/\/journalscape.com\/ChristopherRowe\">Christopher Rowe<\/a>'s \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifi.com\/scifiction\/originals\/originals_archive\/rowe\/rowe1.html\">The Voluntary State<\/a>\"; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exo.net\/~ellenk\/klages.html\">Ellen Klages<\/a>'s \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfsite.com\/fsf\/fiction\/ek01.htm\">Basement Magic<\/a>\"; Lois Tilton's \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asimovs.com\/_issue_0501\/gladiatorswar.shtml\">The Gladiator's War: A Dialogue<\/a>\"; Walter Jon Williams's \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asimovs.com\/_issue_0406\/greenleopards.shtml\">The Green Leopard Plague<\/a>\" (which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/logos\/journal\/show-entry.php?Entry_ID=1710\">I wrote about<\/a> last year).  I am very disappointed to see that Gregory Feeley's \"Arabian Wine,\" my favorite novella last year, didn't make the final ballot, while some other novellas that I wasn't terribly fond of did.  Alas.<\/li>\n<li>In much sadder news, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfwa.org\/news\/jchalker.htm\">Jack L. Chalker died last week<\/a>.  I hadn't read his recent work, but I have fond memories of the Well of Souls books.<\/li>\n<li>I seem to have failed to note that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tangentonline.com\/\">Tangent Online<\/a> has relaunched, with nice clean site design and no server errors, and with Eugie Foster as Managing Editor.  I'm cautiously optimistic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enough for now.  I'm still sick, but feeling somewhat better than yesterday (and much more clear-headed) despite only intermittent sleep last night.  So I'm gonna go in to work today, so I should get going.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some assorted news items from the speculative fiction world: The 2004 Nebula Awards Final Ballot has been released.
