Recently, Ann and Jeff VanderMeer announced the finalists for Last Drink Bird Head Award and Beyond Victoriana was graciously nominated under the category for “Gentle Advocacy.” The premise behind the awards is “to celebrate those in the genre community who enrich us with their time, energy, and words, for causes greater than themselves.”
I’m honored to be considered a nominee along with these other fine folks:
– Hal Duncan (for blogging and Notes from New Sodom)
– N.K. Jemisin (for blogging and commentary)
– Jason Sanford (for blogging)
Winners will be announced on October 16th (correction: October 23rd). Whatever the outcome, though, I’m pleased about the impact Beyond Victoriana has had upon the steampunk and greater sci-fi community, and wish the best for all nominees.

I hadn’t heard of these awards before, congratulations on your nomination. Best of luck.
Thank you! It’s a relatively small, new award, but I just appreciate for being thought of more than anything else.
Congratulations! What an honor.
Thanks! ^_^
Congrats!
Thank you!
