Yeah. I added a couple of newer issues when I voted just now. I think keywords have a lot to do with which lists get noticed. And new activity. In this case, I'm grateful to not have to start from scratch. I'm going to go enlist some voters now.
I also added this one for Hugo winning short stories https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7... with a plan to do winners and runners up for a number of the big awards and categories (novels already have categories, but I can do short stories, novellas, novelettes) (gradually).

So here's Best Story Published in Clarkesworld Magazine

The test will be how fast Spar makes its way on - I left it off my votes. :)
In theory the descriptions of these lists can link to the mags, but also maybe to this group, where people could chat further about the stories.
:) I'll certainly be watching. If readership is any indicator, "The Things" should fair very well. By far, the most widely read story we've published.By the way, you included The Third Bear in book form instead of story form.

That may be the tricky part. I mostly grabbed editions that were already in the system. If the short story isn't in here it can be added, but I'm not sure I have the time to add right now. So on my Hugo list there are probably a few that turn out to be the long version (Flowers for Algernon) or a collection based around a single story's name.
Baby steps.
There's a section of Goodreads called "Listopia." You can find it in the "explore" drop-down. Probably more complicated on a phone, but most of this site is more complicated on a phone.
I'm going to start a couple of lists for "Best Issue of ____" and tag them with the genre tags. That area gets a fair bit of traffic, if my notifications are any indication. Feel free to add individual issues and do your own votes.
I'm starting with Beneath Ceaseless Skies and then Clarkesworld. Please feel free to add your own votes once I start the list, since I don't have time to fully populate them.
