I have given this zero attention and the ONLY thing I have read about Sad Puppies and Hugo beside the three words is this.

I think there is something worrisome about "story over all", though, as we have slidden more and more into reading pablum that fits into our preexisting grooves. How do we widen those grooves if we only ever read things that feel familiar?
