Hugo Nominations, 2015

[rymenhild]

Since I got a supporting membership to last year's Worldcon, even though I never got around to voting for the 2014 Hugos, I have nomination powers this year. I intend to use these powers for good. Here are my nominations as they stand currently. Does anyone have additional suggestions? What have I forgotten? Which fan writers were on fire this year?

Katherine Addison, The Goblin Emperor (Tor)
Jo Walton, My Real Children (Tor)
Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith, Stranger (Viking)
Seanan McGuire, The Winter Long (DAW)

skygiants: How do you want to be identified on the Hugo ballot? Is there a post from last year you're especially proud of?)
