Despite what you might have read elsewhere, Hugo Award nominating is open until Saturday, March 26, 2011 23:59 PDT.
Of course it is a good idea to vote earlier, because it would be embarrassing if your internet connection went down tomorrow when you were trying to cast your ballot.
There are plenty of places with suggestions as to how to vote. I’d like to highlight a few people that you may not have thought of.
My friend Gary K. Wolfe has a book of reviews out: Bearings, published by Beccon.
If you are looking for Editor: Long Form candidates, how about Marc Gascoigne at Angry Robot, or Devi Pillai at Orbit, who is N.K. Jemisin’s editor.
In Editor: Short Form Shelley Bond at Vertigo is responsible for some awesome comics, including Fables and The Unwritten.
Jullie Dillon and Kinuko Craft in Professional Artist, because we need some women on the ballot in that category.
Salon Futura is eligible in Semiprozine (which I mention because Kevin forgot).
YIPE!, the utterly awesome costuming fanzine.
And yes, podcasts are eligible as fanzines. Gary and Jonathan pride themselves on the amateur ethic of the Coode Street Podcast.
In Fan Artist my pal Andy Bigwood has done some amazing work for BristolCon.
And finally, please try to make some good nominations in the Graphic Story category. This is probably our last chance to save it. Ideas here.
And for the Campbell the very wonderful Karen Lord and Lauren Beukes.
I’m not eligible to vote Cheryl, but, on your point about … ” because it would be embarrassing if your internet connection went down tomorrow when you were trying to cast your ballot. ”
Thats not over dramatic folks ..there was a power cut hereabouts in the North East of the UK just this afternoon and Mighty was the Wailing of Alarm systems ..and people who were part way through a lengthy and un-saved e mail! .. when service was resumed.
And thank goodness you can resubmit; I discovered a serious (to me) omission in my original nomination ballot!
Salon Futura was nominated two weeks ago!
