This is probably post #350 or so on Hugo nominations that you will see in your feed this week. I just want to focus on good stuff and bring your attention to the following categories for no reason other than there are a lot of amazing things in them.

Other good things:
– Saga, volume 2 was nominated in the best Graphic Story category, which makes me very happy. Fiona Staples was nominated for the Best Professional Artist, along with some other very cool people.
– Related works category seems to be full of great writing, including Speculative Fiction 2012 and We Have Always Fought: Challenging the Women, Cattle and Slaves Narrative by Kameron Hurley
Complete list of all nominations can be seen, for example, here, with linkage to free fiction. And here’s a growing list of various discussion/opinion pieces on the Hugos (the list of best novel nominees leads me to believe there will be a lot of those).
