A confusing year for the Ditmars. It was the first year for some major revisions of the Ditmar rules, and the first attempt resulted in widespread controversy and the withdrawal by several authors of their works from nomination. As a result, the awards were postponed. Following the Natcon annual general meeting at Swancon 2000, the awards were re-opened with a fresh call for nominations and an expanded number of categories. Winners were announced in late 2000 with most of the physical trophies handed out during Swancon 2001.

As in previous years there was confusion over this category, and due to a misunderstanding the Best Novella/Novelette category was left off the nomination form distributed by the convention. This pre-empted what would have been the sub-committee's decision to combine the two categories as there were, as it happened, insufficient nominees in the Best Novella/Novelette area to make it a separate category.
