26 February 2006: Re: my entry for 15 December last year (just below). Richard Harland's Daikaiju! story, "The Greater Death of Saito Saku" and Rosaleen Love's Daikaiju! story "Once Giants Roamed the Earth" have both won the Australian 2005 Aurealis Award for Best Short Fantasy Story. Yes, it actually was a tie! Remarkable!
In related news, Garth Nix's Daikaiju! story, "Read It In the News!", has been chosen by David Hartwell to appear in his influential Year's Best SF volume. Well done, Garth!
