psocoptera(Personal update: spouse caught kid's stomach bug, and now I have, although I seem to have it less badly although possibly with worse fever. Ugh.)
The Difference Between Love and Time, Catherynne M. Valente, Tor.com. Reprint from a 2022 anthology. NOVELETTE. This is Valente doing her gonzo thing, which often makes my eyes roll but then gets me in the end - if you liked Space Opera you'll probably like this. Wouldn't be surprised to see this one on the ballot.
Judge Dee and the Mystery of the Missing Manuscript, Lavie Tidhar, Tor.com. I find this series of vampire detective stories amusing.
How the Crown Prince of Jupiter Undid the Universe, or, The Full Fruit of Love's Full Folly, PH Lee, Tor.com. This is more genre-referential than I usually like, featuring Stanisław Lem and an Ursula who is three different Ursulas at once, but it was funny and cute.
Quandary Aminu vs The Butterfly Man, Rich Larson, Tor.com. NOVELETTE. And here's Larson doing his cyberpunk thing. If you've been reading my recs for awhile you probably already know whether you like Larson's cyberpunk thing.
D.I.Y, John Wiswell, Tor.com. This one absolutely reeks of ballot. A fine little story about not getting into magic school, and monopolies, and collective action. I don't know that I personally am nominating it, but I fully expect to be seeing it.
