Since I posted my Hugo nominations, I may as well post this too. (And look at me squeaking in juuuust before the deadline at both of them. *sigh* ) For those of you who don’t know what the Aurora Award is, it’s basically a Canadian Hugo for Canadians only, which we award in our Canadian hockey clubhouse while eating poutine, wearing toques, and apologizing to each other.
It surprised me that I could only nominate three things in each category; I had somehow misremembered it as being more.
Short Story
- Shay Darrach, “Baggage Check”
- Jennifer Giesbrecht, “All My Princes Are Gone”
- Silvia Moreno-Garcia, “Them Ships”
Poem/Song
- Leah Bobet, “On Living Authors”
- Amal El-Mohtar, “Lost”
- Helen Marshall, “The Collected Postcards of Billy the Kid”
…And then I glanced at the other categories and was like “Nope, I have no idea what I’m talking about in these.” >__<
