So, check out the various posts for the specific review of each piece, but here are the awards categories and how I will be voting. For specifics on how the voting works, check out the rules. Essentially, I’ve numbered them for the order in which I think they are worthy of a Hugo, with the exception of Skip (which means I don’t have enough an opinion to vote in any way) or No Award (I don’t think it should get the Hugo, even if it means not giving any out). Check out my voting stub!

Unfortunately, there are some categories I just either had no interest in, or had no way to really know how I was voting. Maybe next year when I have more time to dig into these I’ll be able to feel confident in my vote, but there just wasn’t time this year. But here are the nominees in case you were curious.
