Lynch" <kfl@KeithLynch.net> To: WSFA members <WSFAlist@KeithLynch.net> Subject: [WSFA] The WSFA Journal is being read online, and cited Cc: ccah@earthlink.net Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist@keithlynch.net> I'm pleased to see that the WSFA Journal is being read online, and cited. I knew it was getting lots of hits, but it wasn't clear how many were from SF fans, rather than from people who stumbled into it via Google or other search engine due to some chance phrase they happened to be searching on. Then I noticed a long posting in the rec.arts.sf.written newsgroup. You can read the whole thing at the URL mentioned within it (which contains a link to the cited review in the WSFA Journal). Here are the relevant excerpts: From: nicholaswhyte@hotmail.com (Nicholas Whyte) Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.written Subject: [WSFA] 2003 Hugo nominees, again Date: 8 Jun 2003 05:59:13 -0700 For once I have actually read all the Hugo fiction nominees, in every category. I had hoped to be able to post my views as replies to Richard Horton's excellent set of articles from April, but unfortunately six weeks is a long time in Usenet and it's no longer possible. I refer to a large number of other reviews of the books and stories in question below; I have linked to all of these from the web version of this post, at http://explorers.whyte.com/sf/Hugo2003.htm - comments welcome, to my real email address (explorers at whyte dot com) especially if you think I have misinterpreted (or omitted) your review. Best Novel . . . 1) My own vote goes to _The Years of Rice and Salt_ by Kim Stanley Robinson. . . . . . . Entirely positive reviews: Gavin J. Grant on BookPage, Keith Brooke on infinity plus, Jeremy Smith in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Claude Lalumière in infinity plus / the Montreal Gazette, Mark Bould in Foundation, and Colleen R. Cahill in the WSFA Journal. ... . . .
