Hugo Nominations

[kevin_standlee]

I submitted my Hugo Awards nominations today. As Cheryl Morgan pointed out here, the deadline for nominating is next Friday. Don't wait until the last minute; fill out your ballot sooner rather than later. If you need some suggestions, you can find a bunch of them on the Emerald City Hugo Recommendations Page

Thanks to cherylmorgan and I being able to talk for free over Skype (once I got my headset working; the sound card had stopped recognizing the microphone), we remembered that Ion Trails (you can download it at that link), the "in-flight magazine" of the WSFS Armadillo is eligible in Related Book. Funny thing is that I knew that at the time, and forgot about it until just today, probably because I keep thinking of the category under its older name "Best Non-Fiction Book."

Even if you don't nominate anything with which I'm involved -- even if you go out of your way to nominate other works because you think I'm being crass for even pointing out the works' eligibility -- if you can nominate, then please do so. The more people nominate, the broader base we get for the awards and, in my opinion, the better they will be.

Just in case anyone reading this is confused by the 4 days/90 minutes commment, "Spaceport Glasgow" refers only to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, a two-part dramatic presentation, which combined fall within short form in my opinion.

Spoilsport, I was hoping that if there were some nominations it would count as the longest nominated work ever, if we took the whole spaceport Glasgow concept as a single performance,
