Campbell & Sturgeon award winners?!

Wow, there has been some weirdness lately as concerns the current crop of awards. What I have been hearing is some real strangeness from Locus which is changing its voting system and now the Kansas City infoZine website seems to have leaked the winners of the Campbell and Sturgeon awards that were to be announced Friday.

The Campbell award will go to "In War Times" by Kathleen Ann Goonan. For the first time, there are two winners of the Sturgeon award: "Finisterra" by David R. Moles and "Tidelines" by Elizabeth Bear.

Kinda feels like cheatin huh? lol wonder whats up
