You have two days left to get yourself a $50 WSFS membership (if you don’t already have one or aren’t attending) & vote in the #Hugos!

Anyone can, you get all the nominated works for free for that $50, & can nominate next year, too.

Deadline is Noon Pacific, Saturday 8/8!

Started reading the packet. Graphic novels first. Not sure how I'm supposed to choose! I'll do short stores next. #worldcon #hugo2026 #hugos #books #sciencefiction

A reader's reviews of this year's Hugo Award finalists, posted over on r/printsf. https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/1vcxo39/2026_hugo_awards_finalists_my_reviews/ #amreading #hugos #sf

The man who delivers packages on the island asked me when the #Hugos were being given out, as the Portland Press Herald has let everyone know I’m nominated.

“End of August in LA!” Said I.

“Lewiston-Auburn? How nice!” Said he with a grin.

And that, non-Mainers, is a SUPERB local joke.

Good lord! Brisbane has a very good chance of hosting the Hugos in 2028!

WorldCon followup: A few days after posting an explanation of ChatGPT use they posted a followup saying the explanation was not complete.

ChatGPT for WorldCon: Controversy over the folks putting on the scifi convention using ChatGPT like a search engine. Their use of it seems 100% reasonable to me.

also, omg, the Hugo Voters packet is once again ridiculously generous this year...

A little bit from @elysdir on making the #hugos voter packet more accessible https://www.kith.org/jed/2025/04/07/working-on-this-years-hugo-packet/ #a11y

I have never wanted anything to win an award as much as I want Jenny Nicholson's "The Spectacular Failure Of The Star Wars Hotel" to win the Hugo award for best related work.

I can honestly say I never expected "Hugo Nominated Fan Artist" on my list! I am beyond honored. +1 for cross stitch and fiber arts! #fiberarts #crossstitch #hugos #worldcon #seattleworldcon2025 #seattlein2025

One last push: nominations for the Hugo close tomorrow night, and I think City of Roses deserves to be on the short list for Best Series. I mean, I'd say it's the best urban fantasy series you aren't reading, but then, I'm biased.

Thanks to @offby1 for leading the work on the Hugo, Lodestar, & Astounding Awards nominations and ballot voting system in use this year, NomNom. I used it yesterday and it worked so smoothly, with lots of little touches to reassure & inform me, and help me help celebrate the best of sf/f.

Chris started it in December 2023, for the 2024 Worldcon to use. Grateful for his efforts & for everyone who's contributed!

Final* update on my Visualising the #Hugos thing: now has a proper web page at https://zoeimogen.github.io/hugo-sankey/ which includes all the nomination graphs as well as final round voting.

Camestros Felapton has some more statistics covering the awards too, over at https://camestrosfelapton.wordpress.com/

*I may add second/third place runoffs at some point as well as previous years but all the copy-pasting has become a bit tedious for now.

@naomikritzer @clarkesworld And now that story has won a Hugo! Wonderful stuff. Might listen again this week. #Hugos #Glasgow2024

More than 300 fraudulent votes and 10s of thousands paid for them. Amazing.

Hey, I've revived my moribund personal book review blog in order to post my thoughts on the Hugo Nominated 'Life Does Not Allow Us to Meet' novella by He Xi, because it requires a certain . . . vigour of expression to convey the strength of my displeasure that would probably not be welcome at other outlets.

CW: The words 'genocide' and 'fuck' appear frequently, in a variety of forms.
