Chloë, our BBC friend from before, has a further request:

I’m the researcher on a new BBC landmark series about the history of
Science Fiction, the series will be shown this spring on BBC America and
later in the year in the UK on BBC2.

To accompany the UK series we are making an exclusive short film for the
BBC’s iPlayer – a 20 minute programme all about British SF fans. We are
looking to find a broad range of willing contributors all of whom
representing, in their own way, the full breadth of British SF fandom. We
are looking for people who can talk eloquently about the genre, but more
specifically about what SF means to them.

I am currently looking for contributors who have had, or plan to have, a
Science Fiction themed wedding. If this is you then please do get in
touch, I’d love to talk to you about your experience.

Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you,

And don’t forget to remind yourself of the shortlist.

We would like people to tell us about why Science Fiction is so important in their lives, what doors it
has opened for them and why, as a genre, it inspires such a lively conversation with its audience.

I’m looking for people who can give me a personal take on their relationship with Science Fiction, real stories about the power of Science Fiction.

Many Thanks,

Thanks once again to everyone who has nominated over the weekend or provided info to help grow this list. Lots more titles on the list now. Please keep them coming. Feel free to nominate something already on the list, by the way – that’s how we pick your overall favourites.

As we have been gathering nominations this year, we have been having a think about how we can make this a better process for our members. We’d love this award to be as representative of our membership as it possibly can be. And with that in mind, I would like to make a special appeal to our female members – we don’t have as many nominations from our female members in proportion to the membership.

So, without further ado, here’s the list. Thanks to all the rebloggers and retweeters, it all helps!
