What Did You Nominate For The 2024 Hugo Awards?
File 770
Mike Glyer's news of science fiction fandom
I hadn’t realised you could nominate YouTube series, in which case I would have nominated the excellent Girl Next Gondor.
@Anna Feruglio Dal Dan
I began considering YouTube/Rumble/etc. presentations during one of the Puppy years. I enjoyed the nominated Rageoholic’s channel. Not enough to subscribe or otherwise return to the channel, but the episodes I viewed were pretty good. I don’t recall nominating anything in that category that year. But my noms rarely make the long list, much less the short list.
The rules for the fancast category explicitly include video and audio presentations.
Regards,
Dann
