The Hugo Award: Nominate Us!
We’re led to believe that nominations are open for the 2013 Hugo Awards. That means we’re willing to sell our bodies to earn your nomination. Of course, by “bodies” we mean “voices,” and by “earn” we mean “you’ll give it to us because you like us.” So if you’ve enjoyed The Skiffy and Fanty Show, please nominate us for Best Fancast. Additionally, some of our hosts are eligible too: Shaun has a short story published in Stupefying Stories 1.11 that is eligible for nomination. It’s called “In the Shadows of the Empire of Coal.” Go read it. Adam has a short story published in Beneath Ceaseless Skies called “The Magic of Dark and Hollow Places.” Read it too! Thanks for listening and your support. Season 4 begins…soon!
Question of the Week: What do you think about the Hugo Nominees?
We’ve talked about the 2011 Hugo Nominees in Episode 3.5, but now we want to know what you think. Do you think it’s a good list? Why or why not? What would you put there instead? Let us know what you think about the list in the comments or on Twitter. And stay tuned for Monday’s episode, which will feature Andy Remic, author of Serial Killers Inc and Kell’s Legend (among other novels).
