Science fiction award-season: honors for Scalzi, Cadigan, Lafferty, Vaughan, Nielsen Hayden, Crabapple and more

Congratulations!

However, it is a missed opportunity that you didn’t Skype in to accept the award while riding a giant mechanical spider across the playa, wearing nothing but a wookie-fur merkin.

I hope Scalzi’s Redshirts get turned into a movie… in the right hands it could be as hilarious as Galaxy Quest.
