  1. “…a fabulous slate.”

    Best slate I’ve seen this year, certainly. Or was that not what you were talking about?

  2. Slate of winners is a different usage (Thank heavens) from slate from which to choose nominees.

  3. It’s awesome that Jeff VanderMeer got the award. His stuff is really amazing.

  4. Something I learned today: the object awarded for the Solstice award is one of Mike Libby’s Insect Lab pieces (insectlabstudio.com). Very cool.

  5. Liked guardians of the galaxy.
    Niven gets a spot at the big chair for mote if nothing else.

  6. Yes; Ursula now has a Nebula to go with her Hugo and I’m absolutely thrilled for her. Congratulations to all the winners!

  7. Don’t mind the puppies! What about the SQUIRRELS? You should hire them as moderators while you’re away. They’ve got their own mallets and everything.

    But seriously, an impressive looking Nebula roster.

  8. I’m very happy about Annihilation. That novel has stayed with me, months after I finished reading it.

  9. Jeff VanderMeer is probably the big victim of the Sad/Rabid Puppy shenanigans. Then again, going from his writing about the trilogy, the genre publishers really wanted nothing to do with it either.

  10. Reblogged this on Ana's Lair and commented:
    I don’t usually keep track of this stuff, but in case anyone does, here are the results.

    Annihilation has been on my TBR list for a while, but I have yet to go buy it.

    Have you read this book or any of the other winners?
    What is your take on these awards?

  11. Thank you, guys! Honestly, it was an honor just to stand alongside the other nominees and have the voters think I deserved to be there.
