Location: Zagreb		First of all, congratulation for great database and great site. In my opinion, most important thing for every database is searching possibilities at first and, presenting of search result second.
Here on WWE both are great, that why I like it so mach. And that why I am going to ask if there are any plans for other categories than novels (i.e.. novella, short story etc.). I guess that not all awards have same categories defined, and not in some way, and it could be a problem. Any way, it would be great to have it all in one place.

Thanks very much for the kind words. Always good to hear that folks like what we're doing.

For right now we're still pretty focused on novels. There are so many more to add we could go on indefinately. As far as short fiction goes we'll start getting more collections as part of our efforts to build out the authors' bibliographies though that's just random chance.

I've been thinking about adding an anthologies section where we would have lists of different anthology series like Year's Best SF and New Writings in SF etc. as well as coverage of the anthology awards but I've not gone down that path very far as yet. We might put in an anthology series in the Books Lists section just to see how people respond.

In the end we'd like to cover everything SF/F but there is only so much time. If I could do this full time....
