Tiptree Awards
I decided I was going to try to read all of the Tiptree Award winners. I think I should’ve counted them first. Or at least counted them before I decided to copy them all into a page to keep track with. Here’s my list. I only got up to 1994 before I decided I needed a break. I’ll update it more later.
Some entries I may have read, but I don’t remember for sure. So I didn’t mark those.
I totally don’t remember any gender issues in A College of Magics. I only remember it as boring. Unfortunately, I read it just before I started writing Epinions reviews, so I don’t have a review of it to refresh my memory. Was it only because it was set at an all girl’s school? That’s a lame reason. Totally baffled.
Update: I’ve finished the list. It’s freaking long! I’ve read about a dozen out of something like 350.

Ooh, cool to have them all on one page. I had copied them into a text document and was investigating them on Amazon to see whether they sounded interesting, and if they did, then checking to see if the local library had them. I’ve certainly kept more on the list than I’ve removed, but a couple of them were questionable. I hope you’ll review them when you read them so I’ll see if I made a mistake in eliminating something! :)

The short list and the long list aren’t /winners/. They’re losers!

I see 27 things listed under ‘winners’. The others don’t qualify. :)

But they got considered for one reason or another, so they may have interesting gendery stuff!

Plus if I only went with the winners, then I’ve only read like 2 instead of a dozen. :)

Still, I think it’s misleading to say you’re reading Tiptree Award winners, as J said in her post.
She’s actually trying to read every book and story even remotely connected to the Tiptree Award. :)

True. But the winners will be among them! :)
