My Hugo noms

[dreamer_easy]

My first ever Hugo nominations! omg I made a lot of mistakes. Should've nominated Fantasia for the retro award, Mike Glyer's File 770 for best fanzine, and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form). At least I figured out in time that I'd put a bunch of novelettes in the short story category, which meant I was able to nominate lots more stuff than I first thought. Wish I'd had to time to read Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora. Why is there no "Best Anthology" category?!

Seveneves, Neal Stephenson
The Dark Forest, Cixin Liu

And that's the first time I've ever appeared on somebody's Hugo list. I blush, and resolve to write more. Possibly to whine less.

A very interesting list overall. Nice to know that "Slow" has got at least two nominations!

There really is an awful lot published every year, isn't there?

The lack of overlap between my little list and other peoples' lists shouldn't be startling, but is.

I have at least read *Seveneves* and "The Crashing of the Cloud". There are others I should have read, but they are embarrassing.
