And we're back for another year!

The Subjective Chaos Kind of Awards 2023 have begun, celebrating the best of genre fiction traditionally published in 2022.
Our categories this year are science-fiction, fantasy, novellas, blurred boundaries, and short stories.

The first round has begun to determine who are finalists will be, something we should know at some point in the summer. Considering the high quality (as usual!) of our shortlists, this is going to be tough.
