Hugo Awards: Not Enough Fantasy?

[kevin_standlee]

Some years ago, when a Harry Potter book won Best Novel, there was a protest at how terrible it was that Fantasy won a Hugo and that the "Hugo Judges" must Do Something about it. As I say in a comment there, I would like to put protesters of that ilk in with this poster who complains about there not being enough fantasy due to "the Hugo's blatant anti-fantasy bias." It would be amusing in a "Let's you and him fight" sort of way.

I'm sure that the folks of Westeros are mainly grown ups who don't mind the occasional rib tickle, but I will happily apologize to any of them who are offended.

With one exception. I won't apologize for laughing at people who complain that there is a conspiracy against them in the Hugos, or indeed who claim that I am somehow a leader of the SMOFish community, because really such claims are laughable.

PS, I nominated Daniel Abraham too. Great book, wasn't it.
