  1. As a mail subscriber to #AsimovsScienceFiction magazine, I get a vote in their 2025 reader's awards. It was fun to go back and re-read my favourite stories for the year to decide my rankings:

    Best Novella:
    1. Quantum Ghosts, #NancyKress
    2. The Chronolithographer's Assistant, #SuzannePalmer
    3. Spare Parts for the Mind, #GregEgan

    Best Novelette:
    1. Most Things, #RichLarson
    2. On the Night Shift, #ZoharJacobs
    3. The Fight Goes On, #HarryTurtledove

    Best Short Story:
    1. Catch a Tiger in the Snow, #RayNayler
    2. Lolo's Last Run, #EMKerkman
    3. Woolly, #CarrieVaughn

    Best Poem:
    1. I Try to Explain the Concept of Teeth to My Alien Roommate, #RachelLinton

    Best Cover:
    1. July/August, #MaurizioManzieri (attached image)

    - My subscription started after the Jan/Feb issue, so that got snubbed.
    - For all that print #SciFi magazines are now extremely marginal commercially and culturally, this one at least still attracts some pretty great material (mixed in, admittedly, with some so-so stuff) including by veteran greats of the genre - Kress and Turtledove are still producing amazing work in their mid-late 70s!
    - I found the Novella section hardest to trim down to 3, with narrow cuts for stories by T.R. Napper, Ted Kosmatka, and John Kessel.
    - It was a great year for pets in SF stories, or maybe as a dog- and cat-lover I'm just sucker for them. I found a place in my heart for Lolo, Magritte, Goobler the miniature woolly mammoth, Sponge, and of course, the tiger in the snow!

  9. @scifi Finished the July/August issue of #AsimovsScienceFiction magazine. A bit of a rollercoaster of quality this issue, with the low point a story by Dominica Phetteplace that I found remarkably clumsily written. But, more importantly, very high high points: #RichLarson with a story that delivers everything from Lovecraftian horror, to a chase scene involving a drone with a flamethrower, to stoner comedy, and #SuzannePalmer , who I didn't believe I've ever read before, with a poignant and exciting cover story.

  19. #FinishedReading another big book of curated #scifi (and a few fantasy) short stories. The general standard was pleasingly high, but in particular there was the incredible, funny, surprisingly moving 'All That Robot Shit' by #RichLarson; one of the best short stories I've ever read. #Bookstodon
