Looks
like the Sad Puppies have moved on this year. The Rabids are still trolling,
and very thoughtfully nominated some artists who had no qualifying work in 2016
so that we can say with complete confidence and clarity that their voters are trolling
with a slate they aren’t personally familiar with, as though there were ever any
doubt. Fortunately, they only nominated one or two things per category in order
to better game the new nominating system, so the effect on the overall ballot
is minimal. I’ve marked the Rabid Puppy noms in the list below.
I
haven’t seen mention of a Voter Packet yet. Whether we get one or not, as
usual, I’m compiling a list of links to the nominated works that are available
online for free, to aid us in getting on with our reading! The links to free
works will be included below. If you know of others, please let me know and I’ll
add them!
For
everything else, I'm adding in lots of links to make it easier to get started
reading/listening/watching. Happy reading!
ETA
(4/23): Best Fan Artist updated to reflect today’s change: Rabid Puppy nominee AlexGarner disqualified at his own request. Huge respect and kudos to Alex Garner
for coming forward to the Hugo committee to inform them he had no qualifying
fan art last year. His vacated spot on the finalist list has gone to Steve
Stiles.
