I thought about buying a supporting membership to this year's con just so I could vote, but for various reasons ended up not doing it.
I am...gratified that the larger voting audience rejected the Puppies and their slate so conclusively and firmly, but I am apprehensive about the Puppies' next move and what they intend for the 2016 Hugos. I'm kind of scared of what next year's nominations will turn into.
These links are awesome, though, and I will be checking them out. Thank you for that!
(the one award I actually really cared about was Best Novel, and my pick won the Hugo, so I'm thrilled about that. Three-Body Problem is the best book I've read in the last year, although The Dark Forest might even be better. I am impatiently waiting for the translation of the third book to come out in April!)
