Fun with Hugo trivia.

I made history three times this year.

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.

Congrats on all 3 pieces!

(Some of us might have tried fishing you Out with DDP on a string rather than poke sticks. Sticks can be grabbed and poked back with! :-)

Personally, I think it would be simpler to use the sticks to push in DDP and food (although I have no idea what is suitable for feeding a feral Seanan) and then say, "Bye, going to watch So You Think You Can Dance."

You are wise.
