We never publish novellas; our 2005 stories that aren't listed below are all in the short story category (below 7500 words).  You can usually guess whether a given <cite>SH<\/cite> story is a novelette or not based on whether we split it across two weeks, but sometimes a two-week story is under 7500 words, and in rare cases we run a whole novelette in one week.<\/p>\n<p>I'm not asking anyone to nominate <cite>SH<\/cite> stories for a Hugo, of course; this posting is aimed at people who were considering nominating any of our stories but weren't sure what length categories they belonged in.<\/p>\n<p>The World Fantasy Award length categories are somewhat different, but so is the nomination process, so I won't go into that here.<\/p>\n<p>Here are our 2005 novelettes, in order of publication:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050214\/shard-1-f.shtml\">Shard of Glass<\/a>,\" by Alaya Dawn Johnson<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050516\/amazon-f.shtml\">Planet of the Amazon Women<\/a>,\" by David Moles<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050718\/sullivan-f.shtml\">Niels Bohr and the Sleeping Dane<\/a>,\" by Jonathon Sullivan (this one's right on the border: 7491 words by my count)<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050912\/exception-f.shtml\">Exception<\/a>,\" by Jason Stoddard<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20051114\/reed-f.shtml\">Bearing Witness<\/a>,\" by Marguerite Reed<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20051212\/fintushel-f.shtml\">Bone Women<\/a>,\" by Eliot Fintushel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s often hard for readers to tell how long a given story is, and various awards divide stories into categories&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[82,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-awards","category-strange-horizons"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3423\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
