Yeah, I know, we're talking about next year. But it takes quite a bit of time to dig through all the episodes all at once, I thought maybe I'd just try to stay on top of it and keep a thread updated instead of starting it all in December.  So, ignore this one mostly for now and think about it next year if you like.  At the time I'm making this posting EP hasn't published any stories in 2016 so it's just a placeholder to fill in later.

Move Married to the other category. It was my mistake.

Ah!  Looks like it was originally published in 2014, so should not be on the 2015 nor the 2016 list thread.

Deleting Lia Swope Mitchell's "Plural" because the metadata has been updated and it was published in 2015 in Cosmos.

The list for  Escape Pod Original eligibility for 2016 eligibility is now complete.  There may still be Escape Pod reprints that are eligible (i.e. first published elsewhere in 2016, reprinted in Escape Pod in early 2017).  I'll keep maintaining the thread until the Hugo nomination period has ended (end of March?)

HOW did I miss that?  I'm sure I looked at the episode.

Anyway, added to the list, thank you for pointing out the missing story.

Your daily dose of pedantry... the last word of the title is actually "worlds."

Thanks!

Pedantry has its place, and getting titles right is within that.  I hate it when people get my own story's titles wrong.  Thanks for the correction!

Hugo nomination time is over, so I'm going to retire this list now. :)
