Hugo voting: a final reminder.
Jul. 31st, 2011 10:03 amToday is July 31st; voting for the 2011 Hugo Awards closes today.
The details on the awards can be found here; you must be an attending or supporting member of Renovation to vote. And yes, at this point, it's probably too late to buy a membership just so you can vote.
As anyone seeing this post is probably aware, Feed is up for this year's Best Novel Award. And yes, I would like to win. Who wouldn't? But more, I would like to look at the voting results when all is said and done and go "wow, we had a record voter turn out; more members of the community shared their opinions than ever before, and most of them thought that X, or Y, or Z was a better book than mine." I mean. I want the Hugo. Who gets nominated for one of these things and doesn't want it? If I win, I will have Kate knit little hats for it, and probably carry it around for a month, just so everyone can see it. I will take pictures of my Hugo in ridiculous places. But I want whoever gets the Hugo to get it fairly, and because everyone voted.
If you have the right to vote in this particular pool, please, remember that today is your cutoff. If you want to influence the 2011 Hugo Awards, this is where it has to happen.
Thank you.
