While I'm on the subject of Strange Horizons stories and awards, it would be remiss of me not to note that the Locus Award Finalists have been announced, and that "The Mad Scientist's Daughter" by Theodora Goss (which of course won our Readers' Poll) is a nominee in the Best Novelette category:

“The Fool Jobs”, Joe Abercrombie (Swords & Dark Magic)

“The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains”, Neil Gaiman (Stories)

“The Mad Scientist’s Daughter”, Theodora Goss (Strange Horizons 1/18-1/25/10)

“Plus or Minus”, James Patrick Kelly (Asimov’s 12/10)

“Marya and the Pirate”, Geoffrey A. Landis (Asimov’s 1/10)

Congratulations to her, and to all the other nominees in all categories.

(Meanwhile, on the Locus Roundtable blog, Karen Burnham has taken the opportunity to create a grand tally of the most award-nominated works of the year; so far, Peter Watts' "The Things" and NK Jemisin's The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms are ahead, with five nominations each.)
