    "Fables" needs to just be handed that award. It's filled the Sandman void in my heart and James Jean's covers give me dream material for decades.

    No way, because that would mean _not_ giving it to Girl Genious, the best ongoing graphic novel series in the world.

    Okay, this is more like it! Is that Elizabeth Bear short available online? Love her work, missed that story.


    Those Nebula folk are all taking the crazy pills. Nod politely and avoid eye contact.

    Check out the nominees for "Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form." Wow. I don't even know how I could begin to choose. Not a Battlestar fan, but the rest of those are the top notch.


    Looking at this and other categories, it reminds me of what a great year this was.

    @tawm: I know, the Doctor Who ep's vs. that AMAZING ep of "Lost" -- I'm almost glad I'm not voting this year! Usually that's my easiest category, but ooof.

    That list just reminded me I have a hardcover copy of Anathem sitting in my trunk I've been afraid of opening.


    Also I didn't realize Gaiman had another book out.

    Lots of great works on these lists, but Cory Doctorow is clearly the future of science fiction.

    @JeffriesTuber: I can only assume that you meant that sarcastically. I have a hard time even understanding how Little Brother even qualifies as science fiction, never mind being nominated for a "Best Novel" Hugo. I can only assume his massive internet following has turned out at the (online) polls.


    I like Cory's writing (even though he's often heavy-handed and preachy) and I liked Little Brother, but it clearly doesn't belong here.

    @Charlie Jane Anders: As you are no doubt aware, there is excellent advice for doing readings and voice recordings on her website thingy. I look forward to hearing your work as you too have a lovely voice.

    Once I can figure out this audible signal transmission cable thingamajig, that is.

    I saw the mellifluous Ms. Kowal reading with John Scalzi last month, great show! She's a puppeteer as well. Sadly, I can't figure out how to make sound come out of this particular computer. I am dumb.

    BWAHAAHAhahahahaha! I just finished reading Thursday Next: First Among Sequels, which makes this just absolutely hilarious.


    If you haven't read the series, I HIGHLY recommend it. Jasper Fforde. Check it out. Seriously. Do it.

    Okay the zombie novel was a cute idea. And Anne of Green Gables in Space was pretty funny too.


    But let's keep it to a low roar here.


    I mean what's next? Great Expectations in Space?


    I imagine a conspiracy of English Lit professors somewhere.
