Shirley Jackson winners!
Aug. 15th, 2021 07:22 pmShirley Jackson winners! I did end up "attending" virtual Readercon - not a huge amount of it, but I watched Ursula Vernon read the beginning of something new and unfinished, and Malka Older read a 2019 short story that I liked a lot at the time, Sturdy Lanterns and Ladders (link goes to text of story; it made my shortlist and just narrowly missed being one of my Hugo nominees), and I watched good panels about Vonda McIntyre and about action-adventure and comedy, and I have an interview with Ursula Vernon queued up to watch at some point. And the Shirley Jacksons! If you can do a satisfying 6-category award ceremony in 20 minutes, I feel like you should be able to do a 20-category award ceremony in about an hour and a quarter, not to point fingers at anyone in particular, ahem. Although I guess in fact here everything was prerecorded, which the Hugos don't want to do? Anyways. Winners behind the cut.
