A Reminder To SFWA Members
Posted on February 15, 2011 Posted by John Scalzi 18 Comments
You have until midnight Pacific time to get in your Nebula nominations for this year.
Here’s a list from authors of stuff you can nominate.
Here’s a list from readers of stuff you can nominate.
Here’s a photo of the panda I will have come to your house if you do not make those nominations.
That’s right, I have a panda on standby. Of course I have a panda on standby. I am the President of SFWA. We’re all about panda preparation.
Don’t make me break out the panda. Please nominate before midnight, Pacific time.
That is all.
Does this panda get sad over sexual harassment?
Juan Sanmiguel, winning the “total non-sequitur comment” award right out of the box.
Speaking of disappointments, I think the panda’s name should be ‘SyFy’. Just sayin’.
And, NOT speaking of disappointments, Is that perhaps an old man’s panda?
How many Scalzis does it weigh?
Never say no to Panda.

I think I may have had something clever to say, but #1 has completely derailed my train of thought. So badly, in fact, I think the rail workers have gone on strike (or as it’s known in the UK, “Tuesday”). If I remember what it was, I’ll come back later.
John, I believe Juan is referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_Harassment_Panda. so, I believe it does follow, afterall.
You do realize that, as sad and disappointed as this panda is, having a panda come to visit might be a net win for some folks…
Sam K:
Ahhh. Now everything is clear.
The power has finally gone to his head! Threatening to unleash The Panda? I knew this day would come.
As readers of PVP surely realize, having a panda come to your house is a Bad Thing.
The panda is so cute I forgot what I was supposed to do.
Awesome. “sad panda” is a regular reference in my interactions with my husband (pace the South Park episode mentioned above); this picture will now go in the arsenal. Many thanks! :)
Can I revoke my nominations in order to get a visit from the panda?
I was going to say some might miss on their noms just to get to see such a cute panda…then eris esoteric broke out the never say no to Panda video.
If I were a member, I’d be nominating right now!
As a fan of Ranma 1/2, I nominate “Genma” as the panda’s name. Although your panda isn’t quite as large as Genma becomes. And I’m sure that if your panda falls into hot water it doesn’t turn into an old man.
When should I expect the sad panda visit? I’d like to be prepared.
I knew the day would come when Scalzi would panda to his constituency.
It’s pure Pandamonium!
