More from Oz: Aurealis SF/F/H Awards on WWEnd and a New Reading Challenge
A few days ago we added the Aurealis Science Fiction Award to WWEnd and now we’ve followed up with the Aurealis Fantasy and Aurealis Horror. We’re now representin’ Down Under like never before and with all these new Australian authors in our database I thought it would be fun to start a new Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge.
We’ve been getting a lot of comments from our members about just how few Aussie authors they’ve read and how those blanks in their awards stats are really bugging them. Thus was born the Keep Calm and Read SF from Down Under Reading Challenge.
This challenge is simplicity itself. All you have to do is read some books from the Aurealis Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror Awards we’ve just added to the site or any Aussie author you like. The SF in this case is “Speculative Fiction” rather than just “Sci-Fi”. We have 4 reading levels, named after Australian candies, for this challenge so you can jump in at a level that’s right for you. Sweet!
And this challenge plays nicely most of the other RYO challenges too so combining with the Women of Genre Fiction or Space Opera or pretty much any of the others is easily done.
