Hugo Awards

[supergee]

Congrats to Neil Gaiman, Nancy Kress,* Elizabeth Bear,* and Ted Chiang. And to David Hartwell, Frank Wu, and Cheryl Morgan, congrats and thanks for pulling out of next year's awards; winning a few (or only one) of the "body of work" awards and quitting is an idea whose time has come. To me, the best Hugo news is the continuation of the Semiprozine award, and I'd like to congratulate Weird Tales. Somehow I don't think of the Semiprozine award as a sacred historical treasure that is betrayed and pissed on when a goddam cross-dressing fictionzine wins it.

*Some people proposed adding a female nominee to each Hugo fiction category because women can't make it on their own don't have a fair chance at the awards.
