Hugo helpfulness

I understand that there’s going to be an announcement about the Hugo voter packages very soon. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a coherent list of links to what’s available online, you could do a lot worse than check out John DeNardo’s roundup at SF Signal. It’s huge.

Myself, I’m keeping a list here, so I can track what I have yet to read/hear/watch. Am also including links where I will check out things available online. (That’s mostly “available to read, view, or listen to online”, not “available to order online”, because I am still waiting on the voter package and, y’know, budget.)

BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION (LONG FORM) (995 ballots) – voted

BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION (SHORT FORM) (760 ballots) – voted

Past this point, it gets a lot harder to judge, because it’s not “single work” (although the entire Wheel of Time series is causing it’s own damn problems with that), it’s “editor or new writer or artist or entire ‘zine”, and… well, the deadline is the end of July. I am a reasonably fast reader. I am not that fast a reader.
