Sword & Laser is eligible for Best Fancast

http://swordandlaser.com/

Last year S&L missed the cut by a mere 4 nominations.

Pro and fan writers are posting eligible work on their websites and social media. One category that I don't often consider is Best Fan Writer. Alex Brown, one of the guest hosts who helped out while Veronica was on maternity leave, is a fan writer. They chose Elatsoe for us to read. Links to their work at Tor.com and Locus Online are in this tweet.

As a group, the 2021-published books we've read (so far) are:

The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina
Light from Uncommon Stars

For Best Series, I'm thinking the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee

For Best Related Work or maybe Best Dramatic Presentation Long Form I'm thinking Fan Fiction by Brent Spiner

I'm still thinking about the 2021 novels and novellas I read.

How about everyone else?

I am not thinking about the 2021 books you read.

I *am* thinking about the way you read them, though. Under the covers with a flashlight? You can use the chair now.

Was that you tapping on the window last night?

No, no… I watch from across the street.
