Yaaaaaaay

(I have several favorites for short fiction; I have no read a single novel probably; I am seriously excited for the finalist list!)

For a number of years, it was a day of dread, with Puppy Poo. Now its a day of hopeful excitement for friends and acquaintances!

Considering today’s date, I expected that link to start playing Rick Astley.

That’s midnight Sydney time I think, so my excited reaction will be delayed 🙂

After a few years of either successive series installments or “not quite there” entries from established authors, I’m hopeful we will see something new and refreshing.

Whoops, I need to get to bed. Gak. 7 hours!

Yay! When they said they’d announce in early April they weren’t messing around, were they?

There is usually 2.5 to 3 weeks between the nomination deadline and the announcement.

(refresh, refresh, refresh) Er, don’t mind me. . . . 😉

I’m usually asleep at this hour but #1 I got to bed early and #2 I slept horribly anyway and gave up 1.5 hours ago. So, why not watch it live?
Kendall on April 2, 2019 at 6:08 am said:

Ah, seems like they posted a complete video, huh.

Fortunately they are also posting them on twitter.

Heh, but I do love how they did the video!

Seems to be a video posted, but I keep getting an error message.

Progressives are not stupid and evil. Conservatives are not racists and misogynists.

I’m resisting the urge to fast forward the video, they’ve gone to some lengths to show us various bits of Dublin!

I love that the Worldcon chair’s mom announce one of them. 🙂
Bonnie McDaniel on April 2, 2019 at 6:45 am said:

Well, damn. It’s a good thing I took my last library book back yesterday, as now I have to start reserving more!

I’m surprised (and relieved) at how much of this stuff I’ve already read, though. And I’ve seen all of the BDP, Long Form noms.

….aaaannd we have crashed the Dublin 2019 website. Yay us!
