The Gaylactic Network, science fiction fandom's premiere
organization for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people, announced last week the finalists for the 1999 Gaylactic Network Spectrum
Awards.
The Gaylactic Network Spectrum Awards are juried and were created to honor works in science fiction, fantasy and horror that deal positively with gay characters, themes and issues. Regular awards will be presented in two categories for works originally released in 1998: Best Novel and Best Other Work. A special People's Choice Award will be given to the single work receiving the most nominations. Finally, to honor works released prior to the creation of the award, a special Hall of Fame Award will be given to a work released prior to 1998.
The finalists are:
