It's an Honor Just to Not Be Nominated

M woke up crying at 6 AM Sunday morning. After I finally got her back to sleep, I checked my phone and discovered rather more Twitter mentions than usually appear in the midnight to 6 AM window, or indeed in a single day.  I had some trouble getting back to sleep!

Many thanks to everyone who nominated "Litany of Earth" for a Hugo, and everyone else who said they would have voted for it given the opportunity.  It would have been part of a pretty sweet ballot, and I would have thoroughly enjoyed losing to Seanan McGuire's "Each to Each" or Kay Ashante Wilson's "The Devil in America."  (I still need to read Crosshill's story, and shall.)

New plan: Support E Pluribus Hugo, and write even more kick-ass, rocket-worthy stuff in the future.

Great story. Next time, the rocket!

Do we know each other? I name-checked "Litany of Earth" at the "She Walks in Shadow No More" panel of the recent Necronomicon, and I asked the panelists if they had read it. One of them had, and she praised it.

Congratulations on the (not) nomination! Between you and Ursula Vernon, there's two (non)-nominees in short fiction on my friends list now.

Also, several of the panelists were aware of and enjoyed your "re-reading HPL" series!
