Blog Awards, Part II
Blog Awards Week continues here at PLC. Today I’m giving Validation Tickets to 5 SFFH group blogs. As if it just being a group blog weren’t specific enough. Oh no. I’ve gotta get my genre shout-outs in there too. Now not all of the writers in these group blogs are genre writers (though the majority are), and one of the blogs isn’t about writing specifically, although a SF/F writer is a contributor. Rules, made to be bent, right? Right.
And now, the PLC Validation Ticket recipients:
- SF Novelists
- Deep Genre
- Book View Cafe
- Mad Genius Club
- Geek Feminism Blog

Congratulations!
For the Validated- If you accept the award(please do), save a copy of the graphic and post it on your blog. Then pass the award along to a few of your favorite group blogs to keep the blog award love flowing. Be sure to leave comments on the blogs you choose, letting them know you gave them an award.

Thanks so much for the validation award. All of us at MGC have had a blast writing the blog and interacting with our readers. Now we look forward to passing the “validation” on to someone else.
I can tell you have fun writing it– that’s what makes it fun to read. Thanks for making the internet a more interesting place!
Thanks for noticing all the work we put in at the Mad Genius Club, Amy.
It was my pleasure!
