The Nominees Are

[Honeybee]

Here's the nominees for round one of general voting. If a category is not listed that means it got only one or no nominations. For categories with one nomination, those stories will be awarded an "Honorable Mention". More nominations to follow.

And here's a second round of wild card nominations:

Best line from a story:

THESE are what pass for pecans on this ship? I thought perhaps some alien being had dropped crumbs while rifling through their inverted pockets for a crumpled bill to pay some tart during shore leave on Rigel 10. These are NOT pecans, pecans come from the finest shady groves in the Southern part of the United States region of Earth, preferably from an area known as Georgia. They are meaty, crisp, exciting to the palette, blending brilliantly with the perfectly smooth texture of the purest sugar and a pastry crust that flakes if you so much as look at it. THESE... are simply... brown! from Pie! by Kayjayuu
