(I think this may have been the first year when they saw anything we've published; in past years, for various reasons, I think we didn't send them anything. This is the series that started out edited by Silverberg &amp; Haber.) (.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;Now I'm curious about the editorship, though: Amazon is showing the 2005 Fantasy volume as edited solely by Strahan, with the 2005 SF volume edited solely by Haber.  Is that true?)<\/p>\n<p>As far as I know, the ToCs of the Hartwell\/Cramer Year's Bests haven't yet been posted, but I know they're reprinting at least one <cite>SH<\/cite> story as well. No idea about Ellen\/Gavin\/Kelly's <cite>YBF&amp;H<\/cite>; judging by last year, I'm guessing it'll be another two or three weeks before that ToC is posted.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, none of the 2005 <cite>SH<\/cite> reprints I know about so far are repeated between Year's Bests, so that makes at least six different stories being reprinted.  I'm totally thrilled; the highest number of reprints in widely-distributed Year's Bests in any given past year was three.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the authors of the reprint stories!<\/p>\n<p>We won't know about Honorable Mentions 'til August or so, when YBF&amp;H and Gardner's YBSF come out. But I think I'll go ahead and update the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/Awards.shtml\">awards page<\/a> with reprint news as it becomes public.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Various editors of the various Year&#8217;s Best science fiction and fantasy volumes have started posting their tables of contents.
