You can see the full list here, but I wanted to crow about a couple client nominations. The competition is pretty tough, but “it’s an honor just to be nominated” or some such….
2003 Hugo Award Nominees
Best Novelette
*”Empire of Ice Cream” – Jeffrey Ford (Sci Fiction, scifi.com, Feb. 2003)
*”Bernardo’s House” – James Patrick Kelly (Asimov’s, June 2003)
*“Into the Gardens of Sweet Night” – Jay Lake (Writers of the Future XIX, Bridge, 2003)
*”Hexagons” – Robert Reed (Asimov’s, July 2003)
*”Nightfall” – Charles Stross (Asimov’s, April 2003)
*”Legions in Time” – Michael Swanwick (Asimov’s, April 2003)
Go Jay! Go Jay! Go Jay!
Best Short Story
*“Paying It Forward” – Michael A. Burstein (Analog, Sept. 2003)
*“A Study in Emerald” – Neil Gaiman (Shadows over Baker Street, Del Rey, 2003)
*”Four Short Novels” – Joe Haldeman (Fantasy & Science Fiction, Nov. 2003)
*”The Tale of the Golden Eagle” – David D. Levine (Fantasy & Science Fiction, June 2003)
*”Robots Don’t Cry” – Mike Resnick (Asimov’s, July 2003)
Go Michael! And, okay — Neil’s not a client, but John Pelan, who edited the Shadows anthology is. Since I did my senior thesis in college on H.P. Lovecraft and have a weak spot for the Call of Cthulhu game (even if I can’t get my hands on a copy of Delta Green to save my life), these anthologies are something of a full circle thing for me. So, hurray!

Jay Lake’s in The Thackery Guide too — that boy gets around.

More cheering for Jay!
Et in arcaedia, ego. 
Hurray for Jay!
Hurray for Frank!
Hurray for Michael Burstein!
When I saw the list last night (pointed out to me by , I had never heard of Jay Lake and was surprised to see his name erupt onto the Novelette nominations.
The fly in the ointment this year, from my POV, is that didn’t get a Campbell nom.
Check out Jay’s collection – Greetings from Lake Wu. It’s a Locus New and Notable book. Hopefully I’ll be soon shopping a novel based on one of the stories too.
I would’ve loved it if eBear had gotten on the list too (despite the deep conflict on my client list that would’ve been born of that – heh).
Yay team!
Also–not a role-player–but:
This Delta Green, maybe?

Yep — that’s the right Delta Green. And copies come up on eBay occasionally. I was even watching that one but couldn’t bid on it. Most of them go for closer to $100, which is a bit dear when the original price was only $27.95. One of these days maybe I’ll get lucky….
I think something could be worked out. . . .
You sure know how to get my attention. Heh.
Look to your email, dear lady.
