    These questions have been haunting me since dawn. I'm consulting higher authorities now.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    N. should be listed as a novella or a novelette indeed. It's listed as a short story in that Wikipedia article though, but that's a rare inconsistency. Otherwise it seems correct. Eventual is a novelette and is listed as such by Wiki, so that's also the same category

    They're all just so good. I'd forgotten how much I loved Mrs. Todd's Shortcut 'till I looked at the list, so I'm gonna nominate that one.

    I came in here to nominate The Man in the Black Suit, so I will second it. I will then nominate my second choice, which is Crouch End.

    :!: Novellas vs. Short Stories

    Dear friends,

    I have edited the list of novellas in the first post of Best Novella thread, adding N and all those listed as novellas in the wiki article, as pablo recommended.

    Brian: I will count in your vote for N. in that thread.

    Brian and Lisa: you still have one nomination for short story each.

    Wasn't "N" from JAS?

    The only one I've liked so far was Gingerbread Girl (I think that's what it was called). I'm not nominating that though, I'm saving my nomination for something else. I have to get the title though.

    They both are being nominated under "Novellas"

    I could be mistaken, someone more knowledgeable will confirm or deny, but I think "Dolan's Cadillac" is a novelette: longer than a short story, but not long enough for a novella.
