Before Cthulhumas…

… a term which I've seen sprinkled across the interweb (notably on Gary Greenwood's blog and PS's new-site) I've just realised that the BFS are inviting recommendations for the award's long-list next year – from now until end of January 2009. Such recommendations are open, but only members of the society and/or FantasyCon can actually vote.
Therefore, in an attempt at self-promotion, the following Pendragon titles are eligible for recommendation:
Best Novel (the August Derleth Award)
The Reef by Mark Charan Newton
Best Short Fiction
Late Runners by Gary McMahon
Nothing is Forever by Stuart Young
Best Novella
Gingerbread by Paul Finch and Brian Finch
The Mill by Mark West
Heads by Gary McMahon
Bliss by Stuart Young
The Narrows by Simon Bestwick
The Pumping Station by Paul Finch
Best Anthology
We Fade to Grey ed. Gary McMahon
Gingerbread: The Fantasy2008 Pendragon Sampler ed. Christopher C Teague
Best Artist
Darius Hicks
Mark West
Best Small Press
*cough*
Looking at this list, it does seem like I'm a fully paid-up member of the Finch/McMahon/Young fan-club but hey! I can't help but use writers I like. :)
Anyway, I'd be pretty damn ecstatic if The Reef and We Fade to Grey win their respective awards… but the field is pretty damn open this year…
In other news, visited the Big Smoke earlier this month for the BFS Christmas Open Night and had a blast – as usual; took a couple of shots, though not a lot since I neglected to bring any spare batteries:
Also met a few bods from the SFX Forum which was an unexpected surprise.
Anyway, enough for now… have a splendid festivities – regardless of your indoctrination – and I shall see you back you in January with Triquorum all rearing to go…
