Fandom: Oh, Hugo, Where Have HuGone

[escritoireazul]

If I had an active fannish Twitter or Tumblr, I would have added to my profile: 100% Absolutely Positively Not a Hugo Award Winner. But I don't, so I shan't.

The Fanlore write-up of the controversy.

This is really putting me off the Hugos and Worldcon. Feels like another cultural clash in SFF, and I am really fucking tired of them. They're necessary and good changes can come out of them, but so tired.

The sheer number of professional authors who, in the 90s, have utterly hidden their fanfic credentials, and the ones these days who no longer feel the need to do so, is stunning. We're in stealth mode, people.

GUYS. WE ARE SFF AND SFF IS US.

I'm just going to haunt your comments for a while, fair warning. I have opinions on this Hugo thing and I my fucks to give about being annoyed at people finally got warmed up. No fucks to give that they hate me, I'm just giving fucks that they've annoyed me.
