Hugo Awards

Pretty decent list of winners this year, as it looks like. I have not read a lot this year, but I'll certainly look out for some of this stuff.

A memory called Empire - sounds cool.

This is how you loose the time war - has been recommended to me more times than I can count. I'll get it out now.

Poppy war books - sound amazing, bought them right away

LaGuardia - looks somewhat fun, has anybody here read it?

Apparently now that the puppies are no longer around, GRRM is the new big Hugo bad? Idk, I think he is a decent writer and he really is into Hugo history. But then I only listened to part of his presentation and I have not read up on the recent discourse. I'd rather just enjoy the winners.

Also, thinking of the kerfuffle when AO3 got a Hugo and people got miffed at AO3 writers calling themselves Hugo winners...

...they gave the "Best series" for the 1945 retro Hugos to the Cthulhu mythos by "Lovecraft, Derleth, and others". Which means, since the Cthulhu mythos is public domain, that anyone who has ever incorporated the Cthulhu mythos into their writing is now a Hugo winner.

I wonder who I'm supposed to contact to get my statue.

:D They had a pretty rocket this year, maybe we should try and get it now.
