Hugo Finalists


My Readings

My current Hugo 2016 reading list. These are works I've read and considered, not necessarily ones I intend to nominate, and it will be updated as I find new works or decide something is worth adding to the list, generally once a week on Sunday. Works will be listed alphabetically by title. .

Novel - Awarded for a science fiction or fantasy story of forty thousand (40,000) words or more.
Novella - Awarded for a science fiction or fantasy story of between seventeen thousand five hundred (17,500) and forty thousand (40,000) words.
Novelette - Awarded for a science fiction or fantasy story of between seven thousand five hundred (7,500) and seventeen thousand five hundred (17,500) words.
Short Story - Awarded for science fiction or fantasy story of less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) words.
Related Work - Awarded to a work related to the field of science fiction, fantasy, or fandom, appearing for the first time during the previous calendar year or which has been substantially modified during the previous calendar year.
Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) - Awarded to a dramatized production in any medium, including film, television, radio, live theater, computer games or music. The work must be less than 90 minutes long (excluding commercials).
Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) - Awarded to a dramatized production in any medium, including film, television, radio, live theater, computer games or music. The work must last 90 minutes or longer (excluding commercials).

Key

Not likely to nominate for a Hugo. (whether or not I enjoyed it)
Still on my possible nomination list.
Currently on my "to nominate" list.



Retro Hugos

The Retro Hugos for 1941 will be presented at MidAmeriCon II:
"Because most of us are unfamiliar with work from that period, we’ll be soliciting and publishing articles by members of the SF community to provide an overview of the works from 1940 that are eligible for nominations.

Nominations for the 2016 Hugo Awards and the 1941 Retro Hugo Awards will open in early January and close in late March. Once the final ballot is set, voting will open in mid-May and close in late July."

Reviews of Potential Nominees

Slates are Bad

From the Hugo FAQ:
Can I vote for something I have not read/seen?

No, don't nominate or vote for something you have not read or seen, and don't vote based on reputation - the Hugos are meant to honor your choices and judgments, not the rumor of someone else's.
