I don’t normally do eligibility posts. I’m not opposed to them on principle, but I feel incredibly awkward making one, so I don’t.
However, someone added my name to the 2017 Hugo Nominations Wiki (thanks, unknown reader) and I’ve noticed some traffic coming from there. There are some links at the Hugo Nominations Wiki, but in case you’re interested in what else I write, here is a handy overview of SFF-related blog posts I’ve written in 2016. The posts are in chronological order, from January to December of 2016.
BTW, the 2017 Hugo Nominations Wiki along with the Hugo Spreadsheet of Doom and Rocket Stack Rank is a great resource for anybody looking for Hugo recommendations.
