It is Hugo and Nebula nomination time...

[seawasp]

... and for the first time in years I'm eligible. Not that I ever expect to get one or even be shortlisted, but it doesn't hurt to remind anyone out there who's eligible that they can nominate Hugo-eligible works online until March 26th. For those unfamiliar with the procedure, you have to have a Worldcon membership to vote in the Hugos; this does NOT mean you have to GO to Worldcon, but in this case specifically that you must either be a member of Aussiecon 4, or a member of Renovation as of 31 January 2011.

The Nebulas are not fan, but pro-awarded works (so only SFWA members reading need be pointing and laughing at me in this case) and are open through mid-February.

I of course have two eligible works: Grand Central Arena and Threshold, sequel to Boundary, both obviously in the novel category.

(No, I'm not nominating myself any more than I can bring myself to edit my own TVTropes or Wiki pages, even to modify/update incorrect info)

Re: I got my wiki hat on, yes I do.

Hm. I wouldn't think it's conflict-of-interest in YOUR case. I'd think virtually ALL wiki pages have been started and originally written by an expert in the field or a fan of the subject matter; I mean, does anyone go to start a (for instance) Anne Rice wiki entry (or more to the point, a Wiki entry on one of Anne's books) who isn't a fan of the work?

You're not an employee of mine, and you receive no benefit other than personal satisfaction for doing things like that for me, so I'd think you're in the clear on that, if you feel so inclined.

(TVTropes, of course, makes a point of the opposite, that they demand no significance and no requirements of references other than those needed to understand your post. I still feel too pompous to make entries on my own for, say "Crowning Moments of Awesome"; I know the moments in my books that *I* would characterize that way but making the entry would feel too much like saying "look how awesome *I* was to write this.)
