The long list for this year’s Million Writers Award is out. I’ve just done the official post on SF Awards Watch, which if of course entirely neutral. Here, however, I’d like to congratulate those Clarkesworld contributors who have made it onto the list. They are:

• “The Sky that Wraps the World Round, Past the Blue and Into the Black” by Jay Lake
• “Blue Ink” by Yoon Ha Lee
• “Worm Within” by Cat Rambo
• “A Buyer’s Guide to Maps of Antartica” by Catherynne M. Valente

There are many other SF/F/H stories on the list, and as is the nature of online fiction most of them are published by semiprozines.
