Neil Clarke has announced the Clarkesworld Reader’s Poll winners.
The readers picked “Spring Day is Coming” by Liu Junwei as their favorite cover art.
STORIES
- “So Much Cooking” by Naomi Kritzer
- “Yuanyuan’s Bubbles” by Liu Cixin, translated by Carmen Yiling Yan (tie) “Cat Pictures Please” by Naomi Kritzer (tie)
- “Cassandra” by Ken Liu (tie) “The Three Resurrections of Jessica Churchill” by Kelly Robson (tie) “Today I am Paul” by Martin L. Shoemaker (tie)
Clarke proudly noted three of these top-voted Clarkesworld short stories are Nebula nominees:
- “Cat Pictures Please” by Naomi Kritzer (Clarkesworld 1/15)
- “When Your Child Strays From God” by Sam J. Miller (Clarkesworld 7/15)
- “Today I Am Paul” by Martin L. Shoemaker (Clarkesworld 8/15)
Under the circumstances, it’s surprising that the readers’ favorite, Naomi Kritzer’s novelette “So Much Cooking,” didn’t rate a Nebula nomination in its category.

“Clarke proudly noted three of these top-voted Clarkesworld short stories are Nebula nominees:”
To be polite, I will offer the pedantic correction that “of these” does not belong in that sentence. (The Miller story is nominated for a Nebula, but not on the Reader’s Poll list.)
Chad: I always feel bad when a post makes pedants want to gouge their eyes out…
Makes me go back to check my own list of favorites from this venue:
Robert Reed, “The Empress in Her Glory”
Chen Qiufan, “Coming of the Light”
Andy Dudek, “Asymptotic”
Complete discongruity

Huh, I thought I was the only person that really liked Asymptotic
