personnally, but Manx, corporate download is made of 80% if not more,
of runners comments, there's just the last part who is not fiction

perceived as fiction, in this sense. AFAIK, by fiction, they mean
embedded, and lengthy, in-character texts, like Hatchetman's
description of cybermancy, or the story of Rennie. The opening story at
the start of the various BBB's would also count.

Good definition, Robert, but incorrect in this case. I'm actually
accepting the "shadowtalk" as fiction. If you'll note the category
description...
Best Fiction in a Sourcebook (this covers ANY sourcebook with fictional
material - as opposed to game material - in it (a short story, the
'Shadowland logs' etc.))
Now, normally I wouldn't call it that, but in this case there are very
few sourcebooks that have "heavy fiction" content. So I'm trying to
keep things as broad as possible.
One person picked the Germany sourcebook for a pair of entries
regarding nudist colonies (I looked it up - it's rather funny :) ). Now
I think that's good - if corny - fiction, so why shouldn't it be
allowed.
Anyway, just to clear the matter up. If you're voting and you like the
shadowtalk in a particular sourcebook better than any other "fiction"
section in any other sourcebook, yes, you can vote for that as Best
Fiction in a Sourcebook.
