Looking for 2015 SF&F Recommendations!

rowynNext year, I'll be going to MidAmericon, the 2016 WorldCon. This means I'll be eligible to make Hugo nominations!
Which means that I should read some SF&F that was written this year.
Because I have a habit of reading only work that's been recommended to me, and I'm too cheap to buy hardcovers/e-books priced like hardcovers, my reading is rarely anything published in the last 12 months. But hey, I can check stuff out from the library and even figure out the nationwide-interlibrary loan system again if I have to! And indie books are usually reasonably priced even when new. LET'S DO THIS.
So if you know any good sf&f that came out this year (including your own!), please let me know. I am especially interested in short fiction -- I actually know 2 novels to nominate already -- but anything is good. If it's something you enjoyed but feel is a "guilty pleasure" or "not literary enough for an award" or whatever, please recommend it anyway. I like light fluffy stories and will be happy to nominate a good one for an award.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11095590/1/World-Too-Small (Unfinished, but I wonder if you can nominate a chapter?)
Possibly http://archiveofourown.org/works/4017901/chapters/9048439 , which is shameless of me. ^_^
Anything by fadeaccompli that qualifies; I think some of her Jupiter Ascending fic is finished? http://archiveofourown.org/users/fadeaccompli/pseuds/fadeaccompli (One of these days, her original fic is gonna get picked up, and I will happydance.)
Not fanfic: I don't know how they're going to want to handle the UK/US publication differences (not to mention the ebook/physbook ones...), but there's Genevieve Cogman's The Invisible Library and/or The Masked City (forthcoming). They're fun.
