Yes, I nominated a fantasy novel. Daniel Abraham, to be precise. But you were inferring that I don't nominate, right? I nominate. I vote. I nominate again next year.
The vast majority of my LJ is not public, and so I don't expect you to find much. Kristin is a friend, and I felt her worthy to push.
And please, don't misunderstand me. I do not want more fantasy. I do not want more female writers. I do not want more Steampunk or more New Weird or more Space Opera.
I simply want people to nominate on merit, regardless of genre classification, sex, race, nationality, etc. Merit.
I would like someone to give some sort of argument, any sort, really, as to how Rainbow's End is a better novel, in any way, than The Road.

It's an annual embarrassment to fandom.
