Short Fiction Update
Dec. 25th, 2014 12:28 pmI stated working on my list of short fiction recs for 2014. So far I have 16 short stories, 4 novelette's and 1.5 novellas that I want to recommend. So yeah, a lot more short stories than either of the two longer categories. I'm not sure if this an artifact of mostly reading online, or if a way more short stories are published in general.
There are three or four stories that are just under the word count needed to be a novelette. (Well with in the Hugos 10% fudge rule) I'm temped to rec them as novelettes to balance things out, but I worry that it might create confusion. (Also I definitely have 5 short stories I want to nominate -- so if the Hugo administration decides that they are in the wrong category, they won't get moved to the correct category, so my vote will be wasted.)
I still have stuff to read. My bookmarks folder of stuff to-read has 6 short stories and 4 novelette. I've also just started reading Upgraded. Plus I'm getting an anthology form the library so that I can read a novelette by one of my favorite auditors.
