People ask; author answers.
Yes, Steve and I* published some work that is eligible for the various 2017 awards. Follows a list:
Series Hugo**: The first novel in the Liaden Universe® was Agent of Change, published by Del Rey as a paperback original in 1988; Neogenesis, the twenty-first Liaden Universe® novel will be published in January 2018. In addition to those twenty-one novels, there are more than two dozen shorter works also set in the Liaden Universe®.
Novel:
The Gathering Edge, Baen Books, May 2017
Novella:
Due Diligence, Pinbeam Books, July 2017
Novelette:
Street Cred, Pinbeam Books, March 2017
Block Party, Baen.com, December 2017
Short Story:
Cutting Corners, Baen.com, April 2017
Dawn’s Early Light, All Hail Our Robot Overlords, Zombies Need Brains, August 2017
For the purposes of this exercise, we use this word count scale:
Novel 40,000 plus
Novella 17,500 – 39,999
Novelette 7,500 – 17,499
Short Story under 7,500
*“Steve and I” = Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
**Thank you to Alert Reader Linda Shoun for pointing out that the Liaden Universe® is more than qualified for the Series Hugo.
So where can we vote?
Mostly provided for those who vote on Hugo Awards, or Dragon Awards, or Locus Awards. And for the occasional blogs/magazines/whatever who didn’t do their Best Ofs in September. It’s an exercise in futility that every author goes through at the end of the year. Well, no; let me rephrase: Not *complete* futility, because it does also remind readers of work that was published during the year, in case they might have missed something.
Are they doing the Series award for the Hugo this year, after the test award last year?
As far as I know. And you’re right. We ought to add that to the list… Thanks.
A minor boring detail: Novelette tops out at 17,499, not 16,999, but I imagine you didn’t have any works at the upper end there.
Wonder how that happened? I’ll fix it.
The 2018 Dragon nominations are open. Which of your Liaden works are eligible for which categories? I know Theo and Val Con have at least one novel eligible, but what about shorter works?
It’s foolish of me, but I have no idea of the Dragon Award categories. Are they for works published in 2018? Got a pointer to the award guidelines?
