The 2012 Hugo ballot is live...

...and between myself-as-me and myself-as-Mira, I am on the ballot four times. Which is the first time a woman has ever been on the ballot four times in a single year. I'm nominated for...

Best Novel, Deadline.
Best Novella, Countdown.
Best Fancast, The SF Squeecast.
Best Related Work, Wicked Girls.

I am both insanely excited and paralyzed with fear, which means I feel sort of sick to my stomach. Thank you, thank you, thank you a thousand times to everyone who nominated; it means the world to me, and we have made history this year.

Congratulations to all the nominees, especially Jim Hines (Best Fan Writer), Betsy Wolheim (Best Long Form Editor), the voice of Toby, Mary Robinette Kowall (Best Novella), Paul Cornell (Best Novelette) and my beloved Cat Valente (Best Novella). I'll post the full ballot soon, when I get over the twitching and the nausea.

Thank you so much. This is such an honor. I am so lucky. I can't stop crying.

Thank you.

Congratulations times four! So. Fabulous! You absolutely deserve this and I'll have to go after the judges if you don't win at least two of those. I'll sic my flying monkeys and army of killer cats on them. ;) Speaking of cats, how are Lilly and the yetis?

Congratulations! I think this is only the second time a filk item (last time was a filk fanzine nomination in 1984) has ever made the ballot. I have to go see who else made the ballot (besides you.)

"I am on the ballot four times. Which is the first time a woman has ever been on the ballot four times in a single year."

I find this very very sad, in the "WTF took so long?" way.

On the other hand... very few people, even with the benefit of time machines, can actually match your prodigious output...
