Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks so much—appreciate all the kind words!

One better: I think you’re the reason I even knew the Hugos were the sort of thing a regular person could participate in

I was a bit of a nerd about that kind of stuff about a decade ago, but seeing so many stories about the kind of harm it does, I’ve started coming closer to your opinion

This is super cool. I just checked my ballot, and I used 17 (of 25) nominating slots in these categories and also had 17 different authors—was a lot of great work coming from a lot of different places!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you, and congrats to you as well! I’m definitely planning on making the trip

Thank you!

Uhhh…wow. They told me about this three weeks ago and I still don’t know what to say. It’s completely wild that people know I exist.

To be nominated for a Hugo is absolutely surreal and an incredible honor. Thanks to everyone who has read, shared, and encouraged me over the years!

I moved to North Carolina in 2011, I fully appreciate how good this is after missing eight straight years

Marty! Redemption!

Do the Canes play a disproportionate number of long overtime games, or does this just come with the stressful playoff hockey territory?

Tavares! Now I’m gonna need the Canes to score, because it is late and I am tired

I could be in bed right now

Baffling call IMO

Sports!

I thought that was the one to send me to bed (happy)
