Ah fuck it, I think I'll get a Worldcon supporting membership and read a bunch of stuff and nominate and vote.

Well, at least you're likely to get a good novel out of it. Bonus if you haven't read Leckie's Ancillary Sword.

Oh, this is for next year's Hugos. I don't think I can catch up in time for this year's!

Or you could do an anti-slate vote. Are you aware of the shenanigans and who's behind it?

Tempting. But I'm not sure if I can bring myself to do that in good conscience. Which is wet, given some of the shit the fuckers have said. But - for example - I don't care to read either of the non-SP candidates for Best Novel; one is fantasy, which is not my cup of tea, and as much as I enjoyed "Ancillary Justice", I think one was enough. So how do I vote in that category? Anyway, I'd rather get in right from the start with the nominations - hell, before the nominations, by sniffing out and blogging about some good SF, especially the kind the SPs eschew.

btw, this guy is a hero. And I must knuckle down and properly read his response to the SP campaign.

What the hell, you talked me into it. XD
