Mark Lawrence Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just squeaked in under the deadline last night for my supporting membership. Novels, Campbell, and Short Stories are easy... the rest will take some time.How much did that cost you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 JBG,I thought nominations closed on 1/31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LugaJetboyGirl Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 JBG,I thought nominations closed on 1/31.No, the nomination period ends on March 11th. January 31st was the last day to make yourself eligible to nominate.I thought someone mentioned that you can change your nominations up until March 11, so that if you want to add something to the ballot that you already filled out, you can. I have not, however, found any references to that on the Hugo/Chicon site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdiddyesquire Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's ok - I've no interest in taking part, just wondering about the economics of it all.Thanks.I'd point out for that $50 you get a packet of (most) all the nominated materials once the shortlists are announced, which ends up being a pretty nice deal.

TannerSack Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Here is what my official votes for the Hugo Awards will be this next month. Not likely it matters to anyone and why the hell should it, I accept this and still post, not sure why.Best NovelsA DANCE WITH DRAGONS. by some guy I can't remember his name.THE HEROES. Joe Abercrombie11/22/63. Stephen KingEMBASSYTOWN. China MievilleWiseMans Fear. Patrick RothfussBest Artist.Jon Foster.Someone asked me what he did this last year, from what I can recall he did the Subterranean Press edition of ShipBreaker by bacigalupi and Ganymede and Clementine for Cherie Priest all great works and his style is so distinctive. Art is probably the most subjective medium so who knows. For instance I think Picacio's renderings of most of Westeros are ridiculous, his color palette and faces are all incongruous with the mood and setting(but really liked his cover for Drood) and the general populous on the GRRM board seem to love them.Best FilmsGAME OF THRONES SEASON 1 without questionWALKING DEAD SEASON 1 with some internal doubt, if it wasn't such a dry year for the big screen I wouldn't nominate itRANGO. fun stuffHUGO.RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Human characters were terrible so I'm still on the fence.BEST SHORT FILMSGAME OF THRONES. going to rewatch on dvd next week to make my favorite five. Not going to vote for The Pointy End just because GRRM wrote it though, it might go in on merit alone but most people seem to just vote for the name which is moronic.

lady narcissa Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks to those of you who have posted your votes. And thanks to JBG for updating the thread on the first page. Being reminded of all the possible nominations is helpful.I have finished an epic Fringe marathon viewing and I'm going to add these three tv episodes to my nominations:Fringe, "The Firefly", Season 3, Episode 10Fringe, "6B", Season 3, Episode 14Fringe, "The Day We Died", Season 3, Episode 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LugaJetboyGirl Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks for the updates, guys. Just a few things:Tannersack, as far as I am aware, Game of Thrones is the only tv show eligible for Best Dramatic Presentation - Long Form. If you want a show nominated for Short Form, you need to give an episode title.The Campbell Award:1) Does anyone know if Ben Aaronovitch is actually eligible since he has some previous novelisations of Dr Who episodes?2) Is Hannu Rajaniemi eligible again, since he came in third last year? For good measure, I am nominating:Being Human (US), 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Me Killing You' (season 1 finale)EDIT:Don't forget, the nominations are due Sunday, March 11, 2012, 23:59.

John Picacio Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, JetBoyGirl --Good question on the Campbell Award. Rajaniemi's name didn't ring a bell as a Campbell nominee last year. I'm not sure who came in third, but the 2011 nominees were Lauren Beukes, Saladin Ahmed, Dan Wells, Larry Correia, and Lev Grossman (winner). Still, your mention made me wonder if he's eligible -- and I'll be honest, even after Googling, I'm still not sure. Debut novel in 2010, which would suggest that he's in his 2nd year of eligibility for the award, and thus eligible. BUT he has a slew of presumably professional story sales since 2003, and I would think at least some of that would've made him eligible before 2010, and thus ineligible now. However, the Campbell rules are slippery, as noted in the following link (which includes a current list of 1st and 2nd year eligibilities......Ben Aaronovitch isn't on this list either.......but I wouldn't necessarily assume this to be complete....).

And thanks for the links you provided, since the FAQs page it had was pretty useful. I will adjust the list accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will adjust the list accordingly.I believe Rajaniemi was writing some short fiction for several years and is therefore not eligible. BTW my Campbell list was:Ty Franck, Mark Lawrence, Dexter Palmer, Mazarkis Williams, E. Lily Yu . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Bandito Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks. I was able to fix that thanks to my vote not getting accepted. The website seemed a little sluggish. (even more than this board at times. :drunk: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
