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.

If I ever thought authors/creators don't take these things seriously, your post has disabused me of that notion. Especially as it followed hard on the heels of kradical's gleeful announcement of the nominations--and he's not even on the ballot. (Now that I think of it, your post was probably first, but I am reading my FP in reverse chronological order.)

Congratulations on the four--four!--nominations. I don't know anything about the squeecast, but it sounds like fun. The rest confirm an opinion that has been building in me. You are a force to be reckoned with. Good luck in the voting phase!

Thank you, so much.

And yeah, we take these things really seriously. With all the crying and difficulty breathing this implies.

Woot! Congratulations!! 4 times ... -four- times ... is incredible and wonderful and I am so happy for you. Plus the stuff is, like, excellent [am speculating about the fancast, but assuming it is as good as the other 3].
