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.

It would have to be a vast conspiracy; every Worldcon member except for a small number, otherwise those books would be nominated.

So I guess I'm by default a member of the conspiracy because I don't like many of the books that stegoking loves. After all, it's not possible that I just have better taste.

Glad you understand that fact. :D
