Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Forums

Right you are!  We missed 7 books from Stoker, SJ and Locus YA.  They've been added to the list.  The sorting on that list is a bit wonky.  I'll have Chris look at tweaking that.  Should be by date of publication though it might be more helpful to change the sort to alpha by author with a secondary sort by title.

Here are the books that were added:

Thanks for pointing out the omissions!

The list is missing the women winners of the Mythopoeic award, 27 books as follows:

• A Woman of the Iron People by Eleanor Arnason
• Flesh and Spirit by Carol Berg
• The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
• The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye by A. S. Byatt
• Red Moon and Black Mountain by Joy Chant
• When Voiha Wakes by Joy Chant
• Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
• The Uncertain Places by Lisa Goldstein
• Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand
• The Firelings by Carol Kendall
• Thomas the Rhymer by Ellen Kushner
• Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord
• Solstice Wood by Patricia A. McKillip
• Ombria in Shadow by Patricia A. McKillip
• Something Rich and Strange by Patricia A. McKillip
• Sunshine by Robin McKinley
• The Porcelain Dove by Delia Sherman
• The Innamorati by Midori Snyder
• The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart
• The Hollow Hills by Mary Stewart
• The Orphan's Tales:  In the Night Garden by Catherynne M. Valente
• Digger by Ursula Vernon
• The Song of Rhiannon by Evangeline Walton
• Lifelode by Jo Walton
• The Wood Wife by Terri Windling
• Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
• Cards of Grief by Jane Yolen

Additionally, there are some other errors & omissions:

Still missing from the list from when the women Stoker winners were added:

• Dread in the Beast by Charlee Jacob

When the 2011 BFS winner was officially changed to No Award, this change was reflected in WWE db for the BFS award but not for the Award Winning Books by Women Authors list.

• REMOVE:  Demon Dance by Sam Stone

When Connie Willis won the 2011 Hugo award for Blackout, this was properly reflected in the WWE db for the Hugo award by identifying Blackout as having won the award, but not it's companion book, All Clear.  However, both books were added to the Award Winning Books by Women Authors list when in fact only Blackout should have been added.

• REMOVE:  All Clear by Connie Willis

There should be 109 books in the list after these changes have been made.

So it turns out that the Award Winning Books by Women Authors list does not automatically update when we add a new award to the site, which why none of the Mythopoeic Award books made it on.  I could have sworn that it did

I've updated the description to include the Mytho in the awards covered by the list and added (and subtracted) all the books indicated on Engelbrecht's list.  The total comes to 106 now.  Three books were already on the list from other award wins:  Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Thomas the Rhymer and Ombria in Shadow.  We missed Dread in the Beast by Charlee Jacob because we had her mislabeled as a male author!  That's been fixed now too.

The display order is out of whack right now and will need some coding changes from whargoul to get it all sorted properly but they're all in there at least.

Thanks, Engelbrecht, for finding those errors so we could correct them!  I'll post here again when the sorting is rectified.

I fat fingered the novel ID for Red Moon and Black Mountain (4353) with Briefing (4354).  It's fixed now.  I took out Cards of Grief too.  Perhaps between the 3 of us we'll get it all corrected   Thanks guys!

I hadn't noticed that three of the Mythopoeic women winners were already represented by virtue of having won other awards - thanks for catching that.

On Cards of Grief, it is in fact a Mythopoeic winner:

Official Mythopoeic Awards list

Locus db Mythopoeic Awards 1985

Wikipedia Mythopoeic Awards

In the WWE db, the book is incorrectly marked as only a Mythopoeic nominee despite the fact that it correctly displays in the winners position when viewing the Mythopoeic award list:

WWE Mythopoeic award

 I suspect that correcting this will also correct a different error that had confounded me, the fact that the totals of the Mythopoeic award winners as per the "My Reading Stats" recap is out of balance.  The total per the recap is 37 winners whereas the actual number of winners is 38.

So, once Cards of Grief is changed from a nominee to a winner and reinstated to the list, things should be sorted!  

Ah!  Very nice.  Thanks for the research.  We had it in the no. 1 position but forgot to throw the switch to mark it a winner.  NOW it is all sorted.... until someone else finds another problem anyway

Yeah, that one I was aware of. There is a process that I have to run to update the list and award numbers across the site.  I'll kick that off at lunch today.

Engelbrecht - 2014-05-02 5:02 AM Leckie's Ancillary Justice needs to be added.

Done deal.  Thanks for the reminder!
