The Nebula thing is all happening. If you can nominate and would like to see any of the stories from The New Space Opera or Eclipse One, drop me an email and I’d be happy to oblige.

Alas, I will have to wait until next year’s Locus nominations to be able to put some of the fine stories from TNSO on a ballot of any kind.
I think that you did a really good job. Anthologies by their nature are almost always hit or miss to an extent. TNSO has more hits than misses by a goodly margin.

i’ve been reading the dozois yearly anthologies since #4 or 5…and almost every year he reports that others believe the end of science fiction is near…or underway. i don’t know….maybe i’m too easy…but i find TOO MUCH good stuff to read every year both in short format and novels. i can’t keep up. i am a nurse, read about 4-5 books a month and a bunch of short fiction….seems to me there is so much great fiction out there we MUST be in a golden age…..i’m no ‘critic’ but 60-7-% of what i read gets a “star” rating when i’m done, which means it either gave me a chill or produced an emotion that makes me think the story was great.

I don’t think the end of science fiction is near, nor do I think it’s underway. I do think we’ve got some kind of change in the kind of science fiction being written coming down the pipeline, but that’s evolution not death. As to a Golden Age, I read pretty deeply in the field, and the impression I have it that there’s a LOT of stuff out there, but, even though there’s enough good stuff to keep any single reader busy, I’m not sure it’s enough to make for a Golden Age.

I cannot vote, unfortunately, but I must admit that it would thrill me to see “The Last and Only, or Mr. Moscowitz becomes French” ~Peter S. Beagle, “The Drowned Life” ~Jeffrey Ford, “She-Creatures” ~Margo Lanagan, and/or “The Transformation of Targ” ~Jack Dann & Paul Brandon from Eclipse One on the nominations list.
