I really love the people who are going to (basically) slate-vote "No Award," while vehemently denying that's what they're doing. Because that's soooo useful.

Well. I bought my supporting membership. If Stuff Happens (stuff I can't talk about yet, ARGH) I'll be actually attending. I'll vote honestly. If anything knocks "Skin Game" off the top of my ballot, I'll be surprised, but hey, it'll give me a new author to follow. I read Annie Bellet's short already, and it's amazing.

The people who plan on destroying the Hugo in order to save it (without reading any of the "slate" stories) are cutting off their noses to spite their faces, because they're going to miss out on some great fiction.
