Awards eligibility and 2016 publications.

[seanan_mcguire]

The nomination period for the 2017 Hugo Awards and John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer is now open, and that means it's time to go over the list of what I published in 2016. Please keep in mind that you must have been a member of last year's Worldcon, OR be a member of this year's Worldcon, OR be a member of next year's Worldcon to be

I wonder if "Hidden Figures" is Hugo-eligible? Because holy crap, that movie was amazing.

[marziek]

Not Hidden Fences? Hmmmm. 😉

[seanan_mcguire]

What is that?

[marziek]

That is an egregious faux pas oft repeated by various commentators or presenters during Golden Globes 2017 in which evidently all black actors and musicians just merge into one identity and film- Fences and Hidden Figures being so similar and all. (Insert eye roll here). Hence, Hidden Fences. Sigh.

Wait, Newsflesh over Toby Daye for series? Or nominating both? Because nominating both work against. I know it's crass but which has sold more and therefore likely to gather more nominating votes?

[seanan_mcguire]

Crass as this might sound, I genuinely think Newsflesh has a better chance, both of being nominated and of winning.

[seanan_mcguire]

It'll be a category where people who can nominate can enter their information.

I'm not someone who can be of any help with nominations and such, but I wanted to point out that while your website says ""Dreams and Slumbers," included in all editions of Once Broken Faith," it's not in the Audible edition. Or at least not the Audible edition that I bought when it first came out.

[seanan_mcguire]

That's not a print edition; I don't have any control over what goes in the audio editions, and questions should be directed at Audible, not me. I'm sorry for any confusion.

[ext_3966331]

Oh, I'm extremely grateful your books are even available in audio editions! I just thought you might like to know since others may be confused by the "all editions" on your website.

For Patreon posts, is "The Toaster Project" the proper way to fill in the "where published" section, or is Patreon better?

Thanks for the eligibility post! "Threnody for Little Girl, With Tuna, At the End of the World" is definitely on my list - that one made me cry. You wrote a lot this year that did that and that's awesome.

It is so perfectly sad, I want to nominate it too, but also am unsure about how to cite it.

1) Your output astounds me. Seriously. My meager word counts are jealous.

2) "Every Heart a Doorway" was one of my favorite books this year. It might just be one of my favorite books, ever.
