Bill Katz of Writertopia created this Campbell Award countdown widget thingie, and it's pretty cool. The link on it will bring you to the list of this year's Campbell Award eligible writers. The Campbell Award, in case you don't know, is the award given for the best new science fiction and fantasy writer of the year. I'm on the list, by the way, as are many other talented writers who debuted in 2006 and 2007. So if you were a Nippon 2007 member, or if you have a Denvention 3 membership and want to nominate people for the Campbell (and the Hugos), go over to Writertopia and check out the list and pick your favorites. As I understand it, not a lot of people nominate or vote for the Campbell, so be a good SFF citizen and do it.

Oh, did I mention that I was eligible for the Campbell? I'm sure I did, but it doesn't hurt to say it again, right? :)
