Hugo Nominations: Today Is It

[catsittingstill]

If you had a Loncon (last year's Worldcon) membership or supporting membership, I hope you will nominate for the Hugos this year. Your membership number and PIN to let you do it will have been e-mailed to you a couple of months ago (I search "Hugo" in my mailbox to bring it up; "Sasquan" would probably work too.)

Anyway, I intended to write about this earlier, but I have been hard at work finding novellas (there aren't very many of those, you know? And even fewer are free to view on the web. And a couple that everybody else liked left me "meh") and so I'm only now getting around to it. Nothing like a deadline to get me moving.

If this post reminds you of something you've already read and you realize you want to nominate, great!
