Happy 2nd Birthday!

Happy 2nd birthday to me and my web site! Yep, two years ago today was the start of all the fun and mayhem that is known as BestScienceFictionStories.com. It has been a good and fun two years. Feel free to bake me a cake (I like chocolate), buy me a gift (I am a fan of science-fictiony things… in case you didn’t know) or just congratulate me.

I just want to say thanks to all of you who read the stuff I write, leave comments on my posts, send me emails and otherwise help out my cause – you are awesome! Thank you.

Anyway, just like I did last year, I figured I would point out some of my favorite stories I have read in the past 12 months. This time I have divided them into categories for your ease of browsing… see, aren’t I a nice guy? Enjoy!
