Wow, this is cool...
My short story "Sea Child" is one of the Notable Stories of 2007 for the Million Writers Awards.

I'm in good company: other nominees include [info]wistling's "Metamorphoses in Amber", [info]catrambo "I'll Gnaw Your Bones, the Manticore Said" and "The Surgeon's Tale" (cowritten with Jeff Vandermeer), [info]kenscholes's "Summer in Paris, Light from the Sky", [info]cybermonklives's "Elspeth Rose", [info]carolineyoachim's "Time to Say Goodnight", Margit Elland Smith's "Under Janey's Garden" (a terrific story which was written at my 2006 OSC's Bootcamp), and [info]ericjamesstone's "Tabloid Reporter to the Stars".

Wow.

Thanks to [info]marshall_payne for pointing this out to me, and to [info]slushmaster for offering the original rewrite suggestions on this one--and, of course, to the fine folks at Coyote Wild for accepting this one :)

More about Villa Diodati later. The workshop has disbanded, but I and [info]artemisin are still staying at the place, in a writing marathon.

Congratulations!
So does this tie bootcamp 2006 with 2004 for notable story mentions?

Thanks!
Hum...strictly speaking, I wrote mine before bootcamp, so I'm not even sure it should count...
(and who's from bootcamp 2004? Eric I suspect, but who else?)
