Final 2008 Hugo Ballot

The final Hugo ballot is now available. To no one's surprise, Electric Velocipede did not make the ballot. However, I am very proud to see this portion of the ballot:

Best Novelette
  • "The Cambist and Lord Iron: a Fairytale of Economics" by Daniel Abraham (Logorrhea ed. John Klima, BantamSpectra)
  • "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" by Ted Chiang (Subterranean Press; F&SF Sept. 2007)
  • "Dark Integers" by Greg Egan (Asimov's Oct./Nov. 2007)
  • "Glory" by Greg Egan (The New Space Opera, ed. Gardner Dozois & Jonathan Strahan, HarperCollins/Eos)
  • "Finisterra" by David Moles (F&SF Dec. 2007)
The emphasis is mine, but it's there to show that Daniel Abraham's fantastic story from Logorrhea is nominated for Best Novelette. While I would love to see the final ballot consist of only stories that I edited, I understand that this is not possible. I am very happy for Dan. This is a fantastic category. Congratulations Dan!

Hey, cool. Congrats to Daniel and to you for choosing the story!

It is an excellent story and its honors are well-deserved.

I'll add my congrats here too! It's especially nice considering that the story maybe wouldn't have existed if you hadn't decided to do the anthology.
