Dragons is Notable!

[lagilman]

Just got word that "Dragons" has been named a Notable Story of 2004 by storySouth.

Confused by what this means? So was I. So I looked it up.


The purpose of the Million Writers Award is to honor and promote the best fiction published in online literary journals and magazines during 2004.

The Reason

The reason for the Million Writers Award is that most of the major literary prizes for short fiction (such as the Best American Short Stories series and the O. Henry Awards) have ignored web-published fiction. This award aims to show that world-class fiction is being published online and to promote this fiction to the larger reading and literary community.


Cool.


Now the editors filter down the rather impressively long list to a final top ten, which the public can vote on. Since some of the names I recognize on the list includes Elizabeth Bear/matociquala, China Mieville, Howard Waldrop, Walter Jon Williams, Cory Doctorow, and Terry Bisson, I'm not waiting on that final shortlist but taking my kudos where I get 'em.

Go, me! :-)


(oh, and yeah, agamisu, you do get to say toljaso. Again.)

Clearly, the real hero here is the publisher. I mean, man, what foresight to have bought such a wonderful story! Surely 'prognostication' is not too far-fetched a term to place on the Editor-in-Chief's stunning foresight in this regard.

Indeed, indeed.

Nonsense! All credit goes to my brilliant copyediting skills. Had I not caught that errant comma, none of this award attention would be happening.

You may thank me with brownies.

(Congratulations!)
