BSFA Award Nominations - Correction

[major_clanger]

An update to this post: having spoken to wishus I have been advised that the Best Non-Fiction category in the BSFA Awards is limited to works of specific authorship. Collections of essays by differing authors aren't eligible, although individual such essays are. EDIT No it isn't, you can nominate the book itself and individual essays within it.

On that basis, I'll list the eligible works within The Unsilent Library for your consideration:

Graham Sleight: ‘The Big Picture Show: Russell T. Davies's writing for Doctor Who’
Paul Hawkins: ‘The reasons and functions behind the use of deus ex machina in Season One of the New Who’
Una McCormack: ‘He's Not the Messiah: undermining political and religious authority in New Doctor Who’
Antony Keen: ‘Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?’
Sydney Duncan and Andy Duncan: ‘How Donna Noble Saved the Multiverse (and Had To Pay for It)’
Catherine Coker: ‘Does the Doctor Dance? Heterosexuality, Omnisexuality, and Spontaneous Generation in the Whoverse’
James Rose: ‘Conflict, Hybridity and Forgiveness’
Leslie McMurtry: ‘The Importance of Language Converted to Knowledge in the Arsenal of the Tenth Doctor’
Richard Burley: ‘Philosophies of Time Travel in the New Doctor Who’
Clare Parody: ‘Approaching Character in the New Doctor Who’

And of course the cover by peteyoung is eligible in the Best Artwork category.

But it should be eligible for a Hugo. (Don't think they've changed the rukles since I did the Hugos.)

Hello - not strictly right. It is technically possible to nominate the full collection and the individual essays. It just makes it tricky for me when it comes to handing out the award! But that's my bridge to cross... I'm not even sure why I burdened you with that detail. Just typing out loud...

The problem with nominating the whole collection from your point of view though is that you are one of the editors, and you can't nominate yourself. So if you nominated that yourself, I wouldn't be able to accept it.

OK! And no, I won't nominate myself. I will simply observe that the book is there for nomination, and try not to act too bashful if people actually go on to nominate it...
