If you weren’t following our Twitter feed or our Facebook page in real time on Saturday night (and good heavens, why weren’t you?) the 2012 Harvey Awards were given out at the Baltimore Comic-Con. [[[Daredevil]]] was the big winner of the night with four wins for Best Series, Best New Series, Best Inker and Best…
At this weekend’s 2012 World Science Fiction Convention in Chicago (a.k.a. Chicon 7), Neil Gaiman was awarded the coveted Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form). It seems he wrote an episode of Doctor Who last season you might have heard about – “The Doctor’s Wife.” In his acceptance speech, the Britisher-turned-Minnesotan let slip the…
I am a bad SFnal blogger, since these nominees were announced a good two weeks ago. (Perhaps I delayed because I believe, based on my own WFA judge experience, that the winners in all categories have already been determined, and so most of the nominees are doomed to forlorn hopes.) Anyway, congratulations to all of…
We’re very happy to announce that the Harvey Awards have upgraded their web site (with a little help from us) and is now able to take votes directly online instead of downloading a ballot and emailing (or even just mailing, shudder) it back.

I think I have too many RSS feeds in my reader; I keep getting behind and then leaving things unread to deal with “later” — but then there’s too much new stuff I haven’t even looked at, which pushes “later” much further than I’d like. That’s all prologue to the fact that these awards came…
Once again, those few benighted souls relying on Antick Musings for their skiffy-world news have been poorly served, but here’s the most recent clutch of awards given out in our realms: Robert A. Heinlein Award This is both a fairly new award — barely a decade old — and one given for a body of…
The lingering memory of my year of blogging for the SFBC — which ended five years ago, so I really should be over it by this point — still compels me to post SFnal awards, even when I do so far too late to benefit anyone. What can I say? I’m a flawed person. Anyway,…
