Hugo Awards Nomination Period Now Open + Free Stuff for Worldcon Members
by
This year’s Hugo Awards nomination period is now open. The 2013 Hugo Awards will be presented in London, England during LonCon 3, the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention (Aug. 14-18). Nominations close on March 31, 2013. Anyone who has a supporting or full membership of LonCon 3 as of January 31, 2014 and all members of Lone Star Con 3 (last year’s Worldcon) may nominate works. If you didn’t attend Lone Star Con 3, and you don’t plan to attend LonCon 3, you can still nominate by purchasing a supporting membership. Nominations may be submitted through the online ballot, available here. To assist you in finding material to nominate, I’ve assembled this post to list everything that I worked on in 2013.
- All of Lightspeed‘s original fiction from 2013 is available online (and also much of the 2013 original fiction is available as a podcast).
- All of Nightmare‘s original fiction from 2013 is available online (and also much of the 2013 original fiction is available as a podcast).
- Selected stories from Oz Reimagined are available online.
- Selected stories from The Mad Scientist’s Guide to World Domination are available online.
If you are planning and eligible to vote for the Hugos this year, if you email me proof of your Worldcon membership (i.e., your name is listed on the Worldcon website as an attending member, or the email confirmation or receipt you received when you purchased your membership, etc.) I would be happy to make all of my 2013 content available to you in digital format. After the jump, you’ll find all of the 2013 eligible stories/authors that either appeared in Lightspeed or Nightmare, or in projects I’m otherwise affiliated with.
