Many congrats to this year’s winners of the Ditmar and Hugo Awards!  A great year for SF and Australian SF in particular, and it was great to see many folks I admire walking away with well-deserved trophies.  Congrats to everyone of course, but special kudos go out to Peter M Ball, Cat Sparks, Robert Hood and Paul Haines, you bunch of magnificent bastards.

And some great wins here, especially happy that Bridesicle got the gong for Best Short Story.  Magnificent stuff!

A real shame I missed the party in Melbourne, looks like the Worldcon was great fun 🙁 sigh.  Apparently a bunch of mags and anthos got launched on the weekend, and I’m watching my mail-box with bated breath, especially for the Fisch-based zombie kangaroo that graces the cover of ASIM #46.
