If you’re at all interested in science fiction, you’re likely aware that this year’s Hugo Awards have been the subject of altogether too much silliness. I’ve been keeping tabs from a distance, weighing in from time to time, but not really getting involved. I’ve followed the daily updates on Mike Glyer’s File770.com with increasing disbelief at just how overheated the whole situation has become.
For the first time in my life, I’ll be voting on the Hugo Awards this year.
I’ve been reading science fiction for several decades now, but this is the first time I’ve felt strongly enough about the awards to get involved. One vote isn’t much, but I feel like it’s important to do what little bit I can. I’ll share my ballot after I submit it.
