The Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Other Work is presented as part of the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards which are given to works of science fiction, fantasy and horror that explore LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) topics in a positive way.
Other categories have also been added and removed in intervening years, and works produced before the inception of the awards are eligible to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame".
This includes: comic books, graphic novels, movies, television episodes, multimedia, anthologies, story collections, gaming products, artwork, music.
Cecilia Tan has the record for most nominations without winning, having been a finalist three times for editing anthologies.
