Random quote: "The way I see it, being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship. Most of your time is spent lying on your back. The brain has shut down. The flesh begins to soften. Nothing much new happens, and nothing is expected of you." ― Mary Roach, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Given the subpar to horrendous slate of Hugo nominees this year, I thought it would be nice to point out that everyone can vote for the Locus awards - I hope that lots of people will vote and that quality works will win out!

Some facts on the Locus award:

You can vote here: http://www.locusmag.com/Magazine/2015/PollAndSurvey.html
Voting is open to everyone (but subscriber votes count double)
The voting deadline is April 15 (tax day in the USA)
The knowledgeable staff there has assembled a shortlist of recommendations, but you can write in any eligible nominee you like
Staff manually reviews the votes and throws out block voting (Yeah - no Sad Puppy slate here)

Just saw this. Since the deadline is tomorrow, I thought I'd bump this up.
Thanks, Engelbrecht.

The nominees have been announced. All in all, they're a very nice populist list, and a great anodyne to the Hugo mess.

I'll get those posted this evening. It does look like a good batch.
