It’s the end of 2012, and we’ve been so proud to publish some excellent fiction this year! We couldn’t be more pleased to have championed such a diverse group of voices which continue to keep us on the cutting edge of short form science fiction and fantasy.
Many of these stories are eligible for the Hugo and Nebula Awards, which annually honor outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
Hugo winners are selected by the members of Worldcon, but the list of nominees is voted on by Worldcon members. Voting for nominees requires a supporting membership for LoneStarCon 3, although members from last year’s Worldcon are also eligible to nominate. The nomination window will be open in January 2013 and will close on March 10th. The rules for voting are here and you may nominate up to five works in each category.
The Nebula Awards are voted on by active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. (SFWA for short). Nebula nominations are open from now until February 15, 2013 and the form is here; you must be a SFWA member, and logged in, to nominate. Here is a detailed description of how the voting works.
