futuristic fiction

Before I completely forget, during the last Palancas I asked if the news which reached me concerning the termination of the Futuristic Fiction category was confirmed. I was told that if it was, then it would be announced that night. No mention was made in any of the speeches, which means it is still an open category for next year's competition.

Naturally, I would have preferred it if the category were recast as Speculative Fiction, so works of fantasy, horror, etc. could be included. But that's just me.
