BSFA Awards 2012

The results of the 2012 BSFA Awards have just been announced, and I am pleased to say that Adrift on the Sea of Rains has won the award for Best Short Story.

Congratulations, Ian!

And congratulations to the rest of the winners. See the above link for the full list.

BSFA Award Longlist

And, in case anyone’s wondering, here’s the stuff that made the British Science Fiction Association Award longlist.

BSFA Shortlist Announced

The British Science Fiction Association 2103 Awards shortlist has been announced.

The Silver Wind of Dawn

Nina Allan’s The Silver Wind (Interzone 233) and Al Robertson’s Of Dawn (Interzone 235) can be downloaded for free. This is because they’ve both been shortlisted for the BSFA Awards, but read them even if you’re not entitled to vote. Both are excellent stories. It’s also great to see SF Mistressworks on the shortlists.

If you’re not voting for the BSFA Awards, you might consider voting for the best stories and artwork in the annual Interzone Readers’ Poll.

Of course, some people are voting on both sets of awards. It’s not an either/or situation.

2011 BSFA Awards Update

The deadline for the 2011 British Science Fiction Awards was extended by a week at the last minute for reasons too complicated togo into here, so here is the new final list of nominations.

Interzone Stories

Nina Allan’s Flying in the Face of God (Interzone 227) and Aliette de Bodard’s The Shipmaker (Interzone 231) are available as free PDFs. This is to enable people to make informed choices when they vote for the BSFA awards, but even if you’re not eligible to vote I recommend reading them. They’re shortlisted for a reason, as is Neil’s story in the previous post.

Not eligible to vote? Join the BSFA here. Problem solved.

2010 BSFA Awards Shortlists

Congratulations to everyone, especially the Interzone and Music For Another World folk.

Neil Williamson’s Arrythymia (Music For Another World) is now available as a free PDF.

2010 BSFA Awards

I’ve been nominated. 

And thanks to Ian Sales for pointing it out.

2010 BSFA Awards Shortlists

As mentioned in the previous post, the shortlists for the 2010 British SF Association Awards have been announced here. There are no less than six nominations for Interzone spread across the catagories, as well as one for Hal Duncan. Congratulations to everyone concerned.

The winners will be announced at Easter.

Forbidden Planet

Joe at Forbidden Planet has Interzone in his best-of-2009 list so, not surprisingly, he’s glad to see it in the BSFA Awards shortlists.

Interzone 226 is, of course, stocked by Forbidden Planet.
