* Connie Willis, "D.A." (YB)
* Melora Wolff, "Kiss" (The Southern Review) (YB)

==YA==

I wasn't sure whether to put these under the Novels category, but since this page focuses on Hugos and YA books are generally unlikely to get nominated for Hugos (Rowling notwithstanding), I figured a separate category was in order. Feel free to move these to novels if you prefer.

* [[Nina Kiriki Hoffman]], ''[[Spirits That Walk in Shadow]]'' (Locus-finalist)
* [[Maureen Johnson]], ''[[Devilish]]'' (Razorbill, Penguin Young Readers Group, Sep06) (Norton)
* [[Ellen Klages]], ''[[The Green Glass Sea]]'' (Locus-finalist)
* [[Justine Larbalestier]], ''[[Magic Lessons]]'' (Locus-finalist)
* [[Ursula K. Le Guin]], ''[[Voices]]'' (Locus-finalist)
* [[Susan Beth Pfeffer]], ''[[Life As We Knew It]]'' (Harcourt, Oct06) (Norton)
* [[Megan Whalen Turner]], ''[[The King of Attolia]]'' (Greenwillow Books, HarperCollins, 2006) (Norton)

==Romantic fantasy==

These works will all be reprinted in [http://juno-books.com/blog/?p=123 Best New Romantic Fantasy] (2007 edition), but again I figured that's not a category that the Hugos normally go for (Asaro notwithstanding), so I'm putting them in a separate category (except for the ones that already appeared in other categories earlier on this list).

* Angela Boord, "Evergreen" (YB)
* Haddayr Copley-Woods, "[http://www.strangehorizons.com/2006/20060213/copley-woods-f.shtml The Desires of Houses]" (Strange Horizons) (YB)
* Amanda Downum, "[http://www.strangehorizons.com/2006/20061120/smoke-f.shtml Smoke & Mirrors]" (Strange Horizons) (YB)
* Eugie Foster, "The Wizard of Eternal Watch" (YB)
* Esther Freisner, "An Autumn Butterfly" (YB)
* Sandra McDonald, "The Mountains of Key West" (YB)
* Sarah Monette, "A Light in Troy" (YB)
* Vera Nazarian, "The Story of Love" (YB)
* Claudia OâKeefe, "Moment of Joy Before" (YB)
* Sarah Prineas, "Jane: A Story of Manners, Magic, and Romance" (YB)
* Sonya Taaffe, "The Depth Oracle" (YB)

==Horror==

And these ones will be reprinted in ''Year's Best Fantasy & Horror'', in the horror half, so I wasn't sure whether to list them above or not.

* [[Margo Lanagan]], "A Pig's Whisper" (Agog! Ripping Reads) (YB)
* [[Margo Lanagan]], "Winkie" (Red Spikes) (YB)
* Sarah Monette, "Drowning Palmer" (All Hallows 41) (YB)
* Joyce Carol Oates, "Landfill" (The New Yorker, 10/9) (YB)
* Kaaron Warren, "Dead Sea Fruit" (Fantasy Magazine Issue 4) (YB)
