]]> Just reminding people that my short story Reading By Numbers is eligible to be nominated for a Hugo. 🙂

Sean Wallace, the co-editor of Fantasy includes the story in his nominations.

My story didn’t make the Nebula shortlist, but SF Signal asked the finalists if their own work hadn’t made it onto the shortlist what other stories they thought should have made the shortlist.

Rachel Swirsky mentioned my story. 🙂

“I was also really taken by another debut story from Fantasy Magazine, Aidan Doyle’s “Reading by Numbers,” a formally experimental piece of fiction that plays with the intersections between mathematics and storytelling to create a story that’s both surprising and moving.”

]]> The Mathematical Fiction web site is an interesting sith with reviews and lists of fiction that uses mathematical concepts.

Not surprisingly there are a lot of references to Greg Egan and Ted Chiang stories.

My own Reading By Numbers story has an entry now.

]]> My story Reading By Numbers is on the suggested reading list for the Nebula Awards.

It only takes one SFWA member to nominate a work to get it onto the list, but I still think it’s pretty cool to get on the list.
