This is Chris Beckett’s first win among any of the awards compiled on this site. Dark Eden was also a finalist for the British SF Association Awards, where Adam Roberts’ Jack Glass won in the novel category (and which was not a Clarke finalist).

These Canadian awards, like the Australian awards (Ditmar and Aurealis), limit their eligibility to authors and fans from their respective countries. And like the Ditmars — and the Hugos — the Aurora Awards observe categories of fan activity, though since their scope of fan activity is even wider than the Hugos’, many more nominees appear each year than on most any other awards’ ballots. This year’s Aurora Awards include no fewer than 21 first-time nominees, as well as four nominations each by Sandra Kasturi and Helen Marshall.

The first part of the second phase of the long-promised expansion of sfadb — that is, expansion beyond the award listings themselves — has now been posted. These are ‘citations’, which is to say references to books in critical works, all-time polls, and reading guides. The ultimate project of sfadb, which may be renamed sfa⁺db, is to identify the key works of sf/f/h over the entire history of these genres. Some 28 citation sources have now been posted; another 30 or so (mostly larger, including extensive sources such as Neil Barron’s Anatomy of Wonder, James Gunn’s “Basic Science Fiction Library”, and John Clute’s Science Fiction: The Illustrated Encyclopedia) are yet to go.

1330 new and updated pages, including the citation source description pages.

This is the second phase of sfadb; there are two more phases, or maybe three, after that. Stay tuned.
