This was on my Hugo nominations, so yay!
Congrats, Cat!
So pleased by this one.
This was on my Hugo nomination ballot, as well. Well done, Cat!
I liked this story a lot, so I’ll add my congratulations!
Congratulations!
(I must remember to read the second half of this. I read the first half because the magazine, or its editor, was nominated for a Hugo, and I didn’t realise at first that what I had read was the first of two parts, because the nature of the story is such that it’s not wholly clear if one has reached the end.)
Congratulations to Cat Valente!
