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.
