We’re humbled to have been nominated a third time for a #Ditmar Award! (Basically the local Australian equivalent of a Hugo, voted on by fans at the national sci-fi convention.)

We’re on the ballot for “Best Fan Publication in Any Medium”, alongside venerable Melbourne fanzine Ethel the Aardvark.

Voting is open now. The award will be announced at #Conflux in Canberra at the end of the month.
