Nordic Nominees - The Rap Sheet

It has an interesting origin.
On a quick stop at The Rap Sheet site Panzer discovered information about the Petrona Award.
 J. Kingston Pierce's post lists the long list nominees for the Scandinavian Petrona Award. The list contains the 10 novels announced. To be considered for the Award the novel must be published in the U.K., but translated from Scandinavian.
 Panzer says, "There are more rules a novel needs to qualify, so read the whole post."
 Note: This is a short-medium length post. A cup of tea will do it for your snack while you read.

National Novel Writing Month defended the use of AI. Now authors are stepping down from its board - CBC

Something smells bad here.
When Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, he stopped in at the CBC (Canadian) news blog site. There our traveling kitty found a post about the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization. Panzer posted a few days ago about the issue covered in the CBC's post.
 According to Kevin Maimann.s post on the CBC's site, authors on NaNoWriMo's boards who disagree with the organization's stand on AI and the language used to illuminate that stand are leaving the board of directors. One sponsor organization has also withdrawn it's support.
 Panzer says, "NaNoWriMo sure stepped into a big pile of you know what with that post."
 Note: This is a very long post. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on while you read.
