Award eligibility: Hugo and Nebula Awards.

Hugo and Nebula nominations are now open. In both cases, works are eligible if they were published in the calendar year preceding this one (2010), and carry requirements for voter eligibility. Statistically speaking, you'll probably know if you're eligible to vote. For the Hugos, you need to have been a member of Aussiecon IV (WorldCon 2010) or a member of Renovation (Worldcon 2011) to nominate. For the Nebulas, you must be an active or associate member of SFWA.

Short stories.

* "Dying With Her Cheer Pants On."
* "Everglades."

Technically, all of "Sparrow Hill Road" is eligible, but I recommend looking at "Good Girls Go To Heaven," "Last Dance With Mary Jane," "Faithfully," or "Thunder Road" if you were considering nominating one of these.

Novels.

* A Local Habitation.
* An Artificial Night.
* Feed (as Mira Grant).

...it's a little scary, seeing my 2010 book publications boiled down to something that streamlined. It's also a little scary realizing that I published three books in 2010. I need a nap.

Best Related Work.

* Chicks Dig Timelords (I was a contributor, along with many others).

I am no longer eligible for the Campbell Award, although I will be in Reno to pass the tiara to the next honored recipient.

To be quite honest, it would be an honor beyond reckoning, and also the scariest thing in the history of ever, if I were nominated for a Hugo award. For anything, really. I'm proud of pretty much everything I did in 2010, including my failure to faint during the Hugo Award Ceremony in Australia. I think Feed may be the most solid stand-alone book I have ever written, so there's that.

Anyway, that's my eligibility. I'll try to have more in this listing next year.

I can't get to Renovation this year, but I bought a supporting membership, so I'll do my part toward getting your name on the ballot. <3
Yay!

Yes, because three books in a year makes you such a wimp...
I know. But I'm working on it!
Does your failure to faint during the Hugo Award Ceremony count for Best Dramatic Presentation? (Hey, if an asteroid hitting Jupiter counts then I think it's worth a try.)

I'm not eligible (but am often illegible) to nominate for any of them, but good luck!
I was there, and it was pretty damn dramatic.
...no, but wouldn't it be hysterical if it did?
Weren't there also new Velveteen stories last year?

Off topic, but as long as I'm here . . . Wicked Girls arrived today, and is playing now. Currently I'm at "Mother of Crows". :)
Hmm. Nominating web fics for Hugos... I don't think they'd be eligible for Nebulas, as she didn't get paid for them.

I nominated Feed, so I hope it gets in there.
Aw, thank you. :)
Online ballot is here

I'm glad to be eligible to nominate this year.
You are a very useful and handy goddess. What sort of offerings do you find acceptable?

So am I!
Oh, cool! So my supporting membership to AussieCon (bought so I could vote last year) lets me nominate this year?

Ooooh... I see homework in my future, figuring out what I've read or seen that's eligible to be nominated in various categories.
Hooray!
I need to figure out the nominating thing. . . apparently this is something that I need to be more proactive about than hoping something will show up in my inbox. :P

I've been planning on nominating Feed since I realized I COULD nominate, so yeah. Don't want to miss that.

You do need a nap. And sweetheart, if you have more in this listing next year, including in the Novel category, California is probably going to implode. :P
I can live with that.
You have been a Busy Blonde!
And as a member of Reno, I will be happy to nominate and then vote for Seanan!
Have a nice nap. Then get back to writing, you have obviously been slacking. :D
PS Just got my copy of Wicked Girls. Now I just need some time to listen. :)
A Girl Genius lover!!!!!!
Hooray!
Congrats and congrats and congrats! So deserved.

And congrats on the GoodReads award as well, for Feed!
Thank you!
You don't get to *keep* the tiara????
Something wrong with that picture.
Alas, no.
