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.

LOL--true, I keep forgetting how many "legit" authors either started out writing fanfic or still do. And yet, the closer the general public comes to finding the channels where fanfic is housed, the more likely we come to my mother finding and reading mine, and well *CRINGE*.
