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. I hope the scary part wears off soon.
Unlikely, but I hope so, too!
!!!!! OH MY SQUEE.

I am so proud of you, my blonde.
Thank you, darling.
I think it was Abe Lincoln who first said, "OMG!"

Wow. Wow. Wow. And Wow.

And...a filk album up for a Hugo. Did we ever think we'd see the day?

Congrats to you and everyone else, on what has to be the most eclectic ballot ever. (A Hugo acceptance speech is nominated for a Hugo. My brain is folding in on itself.)
Seriously, I didn't think we would. I am so thrilled to be the first.
I'm about to start crying for you...congratulations. Squees and hugs all around!

By the way, I finally read Discount Armageddon...loved it! Love you, too, and miss you...can't wait to hug you in person! xo
Yay! Love you, miss you!
First of all, let me say much congratulationage! 4 nominations in a single year is impressive. 4 nominations across 3 subgenres is...is... Nope, got no words for that level of awesome.

I wish to point out that it is not necessary to attend the WorldCon to vote for the Hugos. As I will be doing, you can purchase a supporting membership for $50, which gives you voting rights for the Hugo Awards. Just something for everyone to be aware if not already mentioned.

Oh, and Seanan? If anyone gives you any lip about you being multi-talented (including yourself) please feel free to point out to them you have been Hugo nominated three times in the Horror subgenre, won a Campbell Award in the Urban Fantasy subgenre, been nominated in the filk category and fancast. Thats a pretty strong repetoire. Now you just need to work on Dramatic Presentation...






Thank you. Very much.
Congratulations! Best of luck on this!
Thank you!

*bat noises*

I'm so thrilled I told my parents. They are thrilled too.
Yay!
I recommend the tissues with lotion in them. Very useful for the can't stop crying times :-)

Adore you, adore your work, and am very glad I'm obviously in good company in doing so!

Squeeeee!!!!
Thank you!
Congratulations in like 80 million ways. :D
Hee!
This is splendid! Congratulations!

Voting is going to be hell, I think.

P.
Seriously.

I mean, it's easier for me, since I'll just vapor lock and twitch a lot, but...
4 history-making nominations, & all of them eminently well-earned. All hail!
Thank you!
OMG OMG OMG YAY!!!!
GLEE.
Mazel tov!
Thank you!
