Yay Subjective Chaos winners!
(Also if anyone is seeing this who can help us distribute rocks from Worldcon, or if our winners want to designate an acceptor, I currently have a bag full of rocks and a dream...)

We’ve read, we’ve discussed, we’ve agonised, and we’ve gathered in the fair city of Glasgow to the sound of pipes (yes, literally) to announce the winner’s of this year’s Subjective Chaos Kind of Awards!
Drumroll / pipe skirl please…

Just took half an hour out to download the July-Aug 2023 F&SF and read this story, and don't regret it. Engaging, ironic voice; inventive, right-side-of-whimsy (just) setting; classically solid structure with a sting at the end.
The BEST SHORT FICTION - and the pipe band are super excited for this category! - is:
APPROVED METHODS OF LOVE DIVINATION IN THE FIRST-RATE CITY OF DUSHAGOROD by Kristina Ten (@kristinaten.bsky.social)
