And No. Before you get excited, Standish didn't make it, but A Strong & Sudden Thaw by rwday DID, which is just AMAZING news, pushing out such luminaries as Ellen Kushner of all people. And although I'm jealous as hell - I'm so pleased and proud for rwday I could burst with happiness. If you haven't read it, GO AND DO SO! NOW!
