rdmThrilled to learn over the last weekend that my stories were nominated for two #TinDucks and one #Ditmar at the #Australian #Natcon #swancon50 !
I did not win, but absolutely thrilled to bits to be nominated!
Pratchat PodcastWe’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.

#NightTerrace’s own @petraelliott narrates this week’s episode of the #PseudoPod #horror #fiction #podcast.
The story is Kaaron Warren’s #Ditmar-winning “The King in Yella”, a very Australian reimagining of “The King in Yellow”, and you can hear it in PseudoPod 880.
