Jim C. Hines —
Here we go! This is the link for the 2009 roundup of humorous science fiction and fantasy. Let this be the first step toward a new age, an age in which humorous books can walk proudly beside their literary brothers and sisters, an age in which puns and nose-picking jokes shall be treated with the respect and accolades they deserve!

... group and met with my new business partner in yet another endeavor. I'll team teaching workshops on developing an online presence with Jennifer March of JMA Services. My review of The Owl in Daylight by Philip K Dick's widow, Tessa B. Dick, got posted last month while I wasn't looking. My editor forgot to send me a heads-up. Here it is at Mostly Fiction. And I received a royalty check for Awesome Lavratt. Here's a list of humorous sf/f from Jim C. Hines. Hey, if you want to suggest a certain funny sf ...

... • The SF/F Humor Roundup is up to 22 short stories and 12 novels. So far, so good! I’m working on guidelines to try to cut down on blatant self-promotion. I don’t mind authors recommending their own work, but I don’t want a list of 30 stories from every online nook and cranny.

... Jim C. Hines is collecting the titles and authors of works of speculative humor published in 2009 at his website.
