Hugo Finalist Reaction and Some Links

[forestofglory]

The Hugo Finalist where announced this morning! You can see the full list here. I'm quite delighted with many things on the light. Xuya is a finalist for Best Series! I've been nominating in every year since Best Series was introduced and I'm so happy its on this list this year. My friends at ladybusiness are nominated for best Fanzine! They do amazing work and they published some of my pieces so I guess that means my work is nominated too! AO3 is finalist for Best Related Work! I haven't read much of the short fiction but I'm looking forward to checking it out. And the Lodestar has name. Still not tried of seeing it in official communications. And the finalist for the list looks pretty good.

Fansplanning is doing a survey on shipping. Its open to everyone one -- they would really like to reach people out side of transformative works fandom so please take the survey and pass it along to your friends. I just took it and it was pretty quick.

Marissa Lingen has new essay up at Uncanny: "That Never Happened: Misplaced Skepticism and the Mechanisms of Suspension of Disbelief"

Your work is totally nominated too! Fanzine isn't just about recognizing the primary editors, at least not as far as I'm concerned: it's about the whole package of the publication. I'm really glad you get to be a part of it this year. :) <3
