BSFA AWards 2010 Update
Posted in BSFA Awards at 21:00 on 27 January 2010
Well, here’s a noble thing. Unusual in these me! me! me! times.
No sooner has the ink dried on the BSFA ballot (we’re going to have to come up with some new metaphor for use with electronic media here) than Science Fiction Awards Watch gives us the news that Hal Duncan has withdrawn his nominated piece Ethics and Enthusiasm from the award ballot.
His reasons for this are that his blog essay is marginal to the field at best and others in the final ballot are more central and therefore more deserving of the award.
What a refreshing stance.
Good on you, big man!

I doubt it, Auld Yin. Hal Duncan is a pen name.
