Hugo/Campbell voting is now officially closed, and since it was not performed on Diebold machines, I think that we can say that all the votes will be counted in an efficient and truthful manner, untainted by scandal. I promised that after the polls closed that I would open up a thread to let people chat about the Hugos/Campbell, so here you are. Chat away.
Before you ask: Yes, I have my thoughts about who will win the Hugos/Campbell, including in the categories for which I am nominated; no, I’m not going to discuss them publicly, because I think it would be inappropriate for me to do so as a nominee. I’ll wait until after the awards ceremony to say anything about it. But by all means, you folks discuss the slate and your favorites and so on — it’s too late to influence the voting, of course, but there’s still four weeks until the awards. Lots of time to speculate.
I’m pulling for you Scalzi!
Ditto. I vote BAREFOOT!

I read it. I’m waiting to see if RCW was using synthetic testosterone.

Is there anything the Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t have its mitts in?
Aw, I was too late to vote. But I’m pleased as punch that you linked to the Open Voting Foundation. I met Alan Dechert and some of his compatriots last year and I was very impressed.
Your reminders got me through reading the short works so I would be able to vote on more than just the novels. I got my ballot in on time.
Here’s pulling for you.
D’you win that thing yet?
