Thank you to all the people whose work I enjoyed this year (including those I didn’t nominate because I figured they’d have it locked and I wanted to give a nod to a personal favorite instead). I’m sharing my Hugo nomination ballot as a protest against the SP/RP notion that they’ve won against some secret cabal that has been undermining the Hugo process for years. They’re treating their gamification of the nomination process as a feature rather than a deeply divisive bug. ![]() The SP/RP contingent would say (and has said today) that this is why they won this year. I don’t have time to read comprehensively, and I won’t nominate something unless I’ve read it. I pretty much categorically refuse to follow a slate because my reading habits and preferences will never align with other people’s. I don’t want to see a move toward counter-slates. In between unpacking my books today, I’ve been following the various discussions about what to do about the Hugo voting this year and how to address the deeply conservative, demonstrably sexist, racist, and anti-queer movement instituting a slate-based nomination process as a way to game the system and shut out any other voices but the ones they’ve contrived to put forward (and many of whom apparently agreed to be put forward by them–when you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas). ![]()
