Wicked Girls was the first single-artist CD (as opposed to a compilation) ever to be nominated for the Hugo Award.
I was the first woman ever to be nominated four times in a single year, although several men had managed to accomplish that particular hat trick.
I was the first person ever to be nominated four times in a single year...and actually win something. Every other four-timer has proceeded to lose all four times, thus providing that splitting your voting block is a dangerous thing.
Thankfully, this third bit of "making history" was not pointed out to me until the absolute last minute, since otherwise, I think I would still be under my bed, hissing madly at anyone who tried to poke a stick under there and get my attention. (I know my friends. Many sticks would be involved.) We're talking full-on "Seanan goes feral," which differs from "Seanan goes wild" in that it features less naked, more bitey.
I am still a little bit stunned.

Get another CD on the ballot, and win.
Go to Disney World.

This is why I --oh hugely awkwardly -- introduced you to David Kyle at the Hugo pre-party, because pieces of history ought to intersect. Dave is one of the last living men from the proto fandom that made the Worldcon and the Hugo awards, and you are an awesome example of what fandom and prodom (is that a word?) are today.
Also, he was asking me about hand rubs, and I needed a character reference. ;)

And, I am glad no one has to pull you out from under the bed.
Such a bad example for the cats.
Oh.
And congratulations!

Happy dance? That's more like it - happy happy, joy joy!!!
One more to add to the "many reasons Seanan is fabulous" list ...
Yay and congratulations again! :-). Already looking forward to seeing you on a Hugo awards stage again soon!

Another fabulous thing about this is that you were nominated in multiple categories, so you weren't competing with yourself to the degree that other four-timers were. You have a multitude of talents!
