A Sea of Stars Like Diamonds

Since 1941, the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F) has supported fannish activities across America and around the world. One of those activities is our annual short story contest. In honor of this, our 75th anniversary, we present the winning stories from our 2015 contest. Our stories include classic hard science fiction and tales of magic, mystery, horror, and the supernatural, all branches of fantasy as envisioned by the N3F’s founders.
