There are less than 34 hours left to vote for the Hugos. This is how some people are voting.

Both last year and in 2011 I did a survey of how bloggers had declared that they would vote for the four written fiction categories of the Hugo awards. I have done a similar survey for this year, presented below. I make the following excuses and caveats:

1. I'm sorry if I omitted your blog post. I did my best to be comprehensive using Google, but it

It seems symptomatic that Beale couldn't even be bothered to endorse his fellow slate member for short story.

[nwhyte]

Who was that then?

[catsittingstill]

All the short story nominees are clean; no "hate slate" entries there. That's why he had no endorsement.

I do wish I'd not been under so much stress this month so I could actually have read the ebook of Ancillary Justice I ended up buying, as I suspect I'd have moved it higher based on what people have said about it getting better after the excerpt in the packet.
And after reading Parasite in full, the *only* reason I'm keeping it above the Correia is that the writer seems a more pleasant human being. Shockingly lazy book...

Err, if you'd like to include mine in the tally, they are:

Best Novel:
Ancilary Justice
Neptune's Brood
Parasite
Wheel Of Time
No Award
Warbound

Best Novella:
Six-Gun Snow White
Equoid
Wakkulla Springs
No Award
Chaplain's Legacy
Butcher of Kardov

Best Novellette:
The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling
The Waiting Stars

No Award
The Exchange Officers
Opera Vita Aeterna

Best Short Story
The Water That Falls On You From Nowhere
If You Were A Dinosaur, My Love
Selkie Stories Are For Losers
The Ink Readers Of Doi Saket

If you don't want to include mine (it's not like I have a lot of readers, as far as I know) that is perfectly okay.

I think our tastes are dangerously similar - your votes are very close to mine!

I might do an update post in a couple of days and will incorporate yours and a couple of others too.

Thanks for including me in your list, but I'm almost the "anti-Hugo" voter - I didn't vote for the last two Hugo-winning novels.

Apologies if I'm being dense - but why are some of the titles bolded?

[nwhyte]

If they are published as standalone books, I bold the titles (and also tally them separately in my bookblogging). Otherwise I put the title in quotes, if it's a story published in a magazine or collection.
