Darth Richard II Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Haha, I don't know if this has been posted here or not, so apologies if its a repeat, but I don't think it has. http://scottlynch.us/blog/2016/01/01/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-lying-crazypants-liars-who-lie/ I love Scott Lynch and we should give him a trophy.

David Selig Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Vox Day and the Sad Puppies got an awful lot of their picks nominated. Though they seem more reasonable this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Damn, the guy that wrote that giant Wolfe book posts here. Neat. Some of those puppy noms in the related works category such blatant shit it's almost funny. Also fuck yeah Uprooted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I did nominate Seveneves but I had no idea at the time I submitted my ballot it was on either puppy list. That said "My Little Pony"... what the hell??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I was wondering a out the My Little Pony nomination I have to say. Also, I don't really have a problem with some of the Sad Puppy picks being nominated, as long as they are decent works worthy of the nomination.

RPs have: 2 out of 5 for novel, 4 out of 5 for novella - they have put some decent stuff on theirs due to "tactical" considerations, I guess? 4 out of 5 for novelette - but I honestly and independantly loved one of their picks - "Folding Beijing",so the category isn't a total waste (IMHO), 5 out of 5 for short stories, 5/5 Related 5/5 Graphic story 2/5 Dramatic Long Form 3/5 Dramatic Short 1/5 Editor short form - but they only named the one 3/5 -//- Long 5/5 professional artist 4/5 semiprozine 5/5 fanzine 5/5 fancast 4/5 fanwriter 2/5(?) fan artist - but then some people may go under nicks on their slate and under real names as finalists 4/5 for Campbell so, yea...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Maia, Are we going to ding authors for being picked by the Puppies? Should we? The only book on my nomination slate that made it for best novel was Seveneves. I enjoyed it. Should Neal Stephenson be penalized for Vox Day's bullshit?

Darth Richard II Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The fuck? Really? Dud they just pick already popular stuff so they could claim victory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
