I haven't read some of those, but I did love Turnskin, and I hope that wins!

I also really wish the Lambda foundation would have separate categories for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, instead of rolling them together into one.

Maybe it depends on the number of submission. I notice in the past that horror was a separate category, and for example, romance at the beginning was both lesbian than gay, and now they are two separate categories. Elisa

Okay, that would explain it. I hadn't thought of this reason and found the situation totally inexplicable! I hope that it will separate out in the future to three categories -- or even six categories if they have a place for Gay and Lesbian.
