Hugo Nominating

I’ve not put my ballot together for the Hugo yet. I know many of you guys jumped in during the Sad Puppy Think of the Children campaign in order to nominate Monster Hunter Legion for best novel, but you weren’t sure about some of the other categories. I’ll have another post when I put together my actual ballot later, but that’s just the stuff I like. Please, everybody, vote for whatever you think is the most awesome thing.

The stuff that I am voting for that I think deserve the recognition include Elitist Book Reviews, because it is the best review place around and Locus (who won’t touch a Baen book with a 10 foot pole) has won like 27 times, and Schlock Mercenary for graphic work, because Howard keeps getting nominated for his awesomeness, but hasn’t brought home the bacon yet because he’s up against some hard competition.

I’ve got to think hard on the short stories/novelletes/novellas category, because there are some really really awesome ones that I’ve read.

This was just released by my publisher with all of Baen’s eligible works:

Hugo award nominations now open:

    1. I don’t think you should make you choices based on political beliefs but on writing ability. I dont agree with Larry or Eric politically but I’ll happily read either as they’re both good authors. In my opinion not as good as David Drake though(Sorry Larry).

    2. And voting for Mr. Flint will still make heads explode. He’s too pro-American for the gatekeepers in New York and the literary science fiction fans bitch about that all the time.

    3. Seriously? *That’s* your problem with Eric?

      We’re talking about an excellent writer who raises the Left’s Avg IQ several points just by breathing, and who was willing to take a (literal) beating for his beliefs. I disagree with him on almost every issue one could name, but I respect the hell out of him.

      There’s a word for someone who tries to tie in entirely unrelated political issues in order to destroy someone. Usually starts with an L…

      1. What? Do you have a problem with libertarians or something? Sending money to somebody through the purchase of his product, is entirely related to his political beliefs when he may turn around and send some of that money to support causes that are hostile to my own beliefs.

        I’d prefer that he not get any acclaim as a writer through awards, either. I’d rather he fail entirely at selling his writing, and have to look for a job in some state with an economy devastated by unionism.

    1. Yes, Mr. Correia, I received an email yesterday stating that there’s only 10 days left for nominating. I don’t read nearly as much as I used to and I am really eager to see the ballot you promised to show us so I can, frankly, copy it entirely.
