2024 Wrap-up and Submissions Re-opening in January 2025

What a year it has been for GigaNotoSaurus! My head is still spinning from all the good things that happened this year. We were nominated for the Hugo Award in the Semiprozine category, and while we didn’t win, it was still an honor to be at the Glasgow Worldcon to cheer on all the winners. […]

by LaShawn M. Wanak, Editor

I’m going to be upfront. When I accepted Ann Leckie’s invitation to become GNS editor in August 2019, I had no clue what I was getting into. I was working three positions in my dayjob with the promise that those would shrink to just one by the end of the year. I did not realize […]

We examined “Hungry Demigods” and its alleged source side-by-side, and found that the story did not meet our requirements as an original work. We thank the reader who […]

Giganotosaurus 2017 Award Eligibility

It’s incredible to me that Giganotosaurus turned seven this year and that 2017 marks my third full year as editor. From its earliest days, Giganotosaurus has existed with a single goal: publish one “longish” (longer than a short story, shorter than a novel) work of speculative fiction a month. I’m incredibly proud of the 12 stories that met our […]

2015 Year In Review: What We Published

Editor’s Note: Editors are capricious creatures, and since we’re not all operating out of the same playbook (or any playbook at all for that matter) by nature our job is a subjective one. My goal in choosing stories for Giganotosaurus is in line with our stated value of diversity in storytelling in its myriad forms. I […]
