Ursa Major Awards open for nominations

Miscellany

The Ursa Major Awards are open for nominations from now until the end of February:

I imagine that a lot of us in the guild have works that are eligible for the Ursa Majors. For my part, Otters In Space 2: Jupiter, Deadly came out last year, and I have two short stories that were in last year’s Rainfurrest anthology – “In a Cat’s Eyes” and “Fox in the Hen House.” If anyone would like to consider nominating Otters In Space 2 but hasn’t had a chance to read it, feel free to send me a private message, and I can set you up with a coupon for an e-copy from Smashwords.

Does anyone else have something that they’d like considered for the Ursa Majors? Or something that they’d like to recommend?

Hee, I was going to post that!

Stuff I recommend:

The Moment at Eternity by Dark End in Hot Dish [adult]
Pile by Kandrel [adult]
War Dog and Marginalized Populations by Malcolm ‘foozzzball’ Cross
and indeed Otters in Space 2.

Eligible works from me last year:

Mirror, Signal, Manouevre in Hot Dish [adult]
Flight Path in Heat #10 [adult]
The Witch Doctor in Trick or Treat [nominally adult, actually pretty fluffy]

I did write some non-adult stuff in 2013, honest :-[

I have to second both of these as strong stories. In fact, Hot Dish overall is well worth considering, probably for the “Other Literary Work” category.

#4

By the way, both of my eligible short stories are now available as free e-books.

“Fox in the Hen House”

“In a Cat’s Eyes”
