I didn’t nominate in Novelette (I don’t read much short fiction), Related Work (a.k.a. ravens and writing desks a.k.a. my least favorite category), BDP-Short (I don’t watch much TV/online videos), Fan Artist (I am a bad person, d’oh), New Writer (did I read any new pro writers?!), Lodestar (I don’t read much YA, if any), or Retro Hugos (not a fan of the concept & too much more recent to read).
