Nominated for an Award

[Ian Whates]

Well considering I'm 20 stone and six foot three, I thought you were just a mere slip of a lad.

20 stone, Gary? A mere light-weight!

Thanks, Patrick, and yes, don't forget to vote! The more people who nominate, the more valid the award process becomes.

As for a Hugo, J-Wo and Gollum, I wish! One step at a time... I'm just delighted to get nominated for the BSFAs.

I just read "The Assistant" today, nice story! I like stories that explore the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Thanks, FE!

Somehow this story seems to have stumbled, blinking and disorientated, onto the actual shortlist for the awards...

As a result, I've just posted it online, free to read for anyone who would like to:

Ian Whates | The Assistant

Congratulations once again!

It's actually quite an interesting scenario/setting; following the lives of corporate cleaners who have to deal, not only with regular cleaning activities, but also having to clean out robot/viral attacks as well. There's quite a bit of scope for more stories or even a novel in there I think. I don't know if you've considered that at all?

 

[Patrick Mahon]

Great news, Ian - congratulations on making the shortlist! It was definitely worth me voting then!

And I like your new blog site too - very swish!

Woot!! Nice one Ian, or should I say 'Nice three' ?

 

[Jon Sprunk]

Hearty congratz!
