Following my previous award pimpage on the Shine blog, I would also like to remind people that the DayBreak stories are also eligible for awards. The ones appearing in 2010 are (divided by category, the titles link directly to the full stories, the author names to their websites, and the hits are from when people click through as the posts on the main page only show the first three paragraphs):
Short Stories (up to 7500 words):
- A Thousand Trains Out of Here—Paul Evanby (iPhone App) (577 hits);
- The Notebook of My Favourite Skin-Trees—Alex Dally MacFarlane (a whopping 7331 hits);
- The Rules of Utopia—James Bloomer (652 hits);
- Barcode Babes—Martin McGrath (835 hits);
- Arsonist—Jennifer Linneae (421 hits);
- Hindenburg’s Vimana Joyride—Ernest Hogan (1572 hits);

That’s thirteen more upbeat stories in 2010,and thank you for your consideration!
Whoa. I’m not surprised at all that Notebook of my Favorite Skin Trees got so many hits. What I am surprised about is that after that, She’s All Light got the second most hits. I find that pretty wild.
