The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association
AMENDED RULES for the Nebula Awards
Dear Meghan,
Earlier today, you received an email titled, βNote from the Board on This Yearβs Nebula Rules.β
To be clear, SFWA does not support the use of LLM generative models in the production of creative work.
The Nebula Award Rules did not reflect our current policy and deeply held beliefs and values, and they were amended to reflect that.
With further input, today, we made an important change to the Nebula Awards Rules in two board votes that we would like to share with you:
Previous Text:
"Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible."
New Text:
"Works that are written, either wholly or partially, by generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible."
-and-
Previous Text:
"Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technologyβs use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot"
New Text:
"Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and those works will be disqualified."
We will update our posted rules in the coming days to reflect this change.
And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Never stop shaming people about the use of genAI. It's pretty much the best weapon against it other than not using it.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the πΊπΈSupreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
πͺπΊCourt of Justice just ruled all πͺπΊcountries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across πͺπΊ

I think this Stack oβ Frogs vase experiment is a success, and I plan to try more groupings of frogs!

A greyscale drawing of Big Anthony (a tall awkward blond man with mussed hair) and Strega Nona (an old woman) in front of her house. There is a very large bunny there.

A photo of two tiny ceramic ermines. One is sitting calmly and the other is standing with its tail upright and back arched.
A pair of extra tiny ermines will be in this shop update! These two were super fun to make, but I might make them a little bigger next time. They will be available this Friday, November 21st at 8pm Eastern time.
