Some juries decide to provide a “Long List” of works they read during the year that they thought were worth mention. Long List works might be really good works with less direct examination of gender than a Winner or Honor List work would need, or they might be works that explore and expand gender but which the jurors found wanting in other ways. Lots of great reading can be found on the Otherwise Award Long Lists.
Long List
The 2015 jury chose 31 works for the Long List
Kelly Sue DeConnick is the writer and Valentine De Landro is the artist. Nonfiction work including letters to Tiptree by contemporary authors, letters between Tiptree and Ursula Le Guin and Joanna Russ, and essays providing context. Single author collection. Audio only at the time the long list was announced. Japanese (original) version won the Mystery Writers of Japan award in 2007 This YouTube nonfiction series is closely related to the infamous Gamergate controversy which began in 2014. Although John Scalzi has withdrawn his 2015 work from awards, the jury felt that mentioning this book on the long list was an appropriate acknowledgment.Queers Destroy Fantasy!, [_______] Destroy [_________]! 5, by Christopher Barzak, Liz Gorinsky, Matthew Cheney (eds.)
