My ballot is in, folks! I did it! \o/

..well I'm skipping the Campbell because I just can't face another whole novel in the next two days. But the Campbell is (not a Hugo) so that still counts as making it through, right?

Last two categories are zines. I will admit to skimming the voter packet on these, but I liked them all and am looking forward to reading them later at leisure.

Best Fanzine: 1 nominee

( Journey Planet )

Best Semiprozine - 3 nominations

The Hugos' definition of semiprozine seems to be "if they pay people, but not enough for anyone to live off of it" which. Is not a thing that makes me happy. (Not in terms of the Hugos, but in general RE: SF. There are so few prozines - by which I mean, people paying "market rates" for short fiction and editing - that they had to take that category out of the hugos altogether. :/ I say, as I contribute to the problem by only reading free stuff.

Anyway this was a category where I was already at least vaguely aware of all the nominees already, and at least vaguely liked them all already, so they get short version discussion too.

..now we get to see if I'll manage the rest of my 40-item to-do list by Saturday 7 AM.
