seekingferretHugo nominations just opened. If you were a member of ConZealand or if you are a member of Discon 3, you can nominate for the Hugos.
I have not read that much new stuff this year. I think my only nominations are likely to be short stories. My two favorite short stories that came out in 2020 were:
How to Build a Unicorn by AJ Fitzwater
and
"Storm Story" by Llinos Cathryn Thomas in the anthology Consolation Songs
The best new short story I read this year was actually Sheree Renee Thomas's "Nightflight" in her 2020 anthology Nine Bar Blues, but my detective work says that even though most of the anthology is new fiction, that particular story seems to be a reprint from a couple years ago. In any case, I also highly commend you to it and the whole anthology even though "Nightflight" is not Hugo eligible, it's an amazing take on Asimov's "Nightfall" inspired by recent history in the South.
