Hugo nominations are coming to a close!

Hugo nominations are drawing to a close, and that means it's time to remind people about eligibility and whatnot. Works are eligible if they were published in the calendar year preceding this one (2010). Statistically speaking, you'll probably know if you're eligible to nominate (an vote). For the Hugos, you need to have been a member of Aussiecon IV (WorldCon 2010) or be a member of Renovation (Worldcon 2011) to nominate. You must be an attending or supporting member of Renovation to vote, once the ballot has been decided upon.

My eligible works:

Short stories.

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

Technically, all of "Sparrow Hill Road" is eligible, but I would have to 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. And please, if you're eligible, nominate. Not "please nominate me," or "please nominate my friends," just...nominate. That's how we do right by this big, beautiful field of speculative madness.

Since Reno's well within reasonable travel distance, we're attending this year. Kay and I sat down and made our nominations this weekend - and yes, some of your work was on our ballots. Here's hoping enough other people think you're that good.
