I never felt particularly comfortable with eligibility posts, but I posted such an overview for the first time in 2016, when someone added my name to the Hugo Nominations Wiki. Eventually, it paid off, because I was a Hugo finalist for Best Fan Writer in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and won in 2022.
So if you’re interested in what I write, here is an overview of all SFF related blogposts of 2025, in chronological order, as well as a list of all the SFF and other fiction I published.
That said, I have a shiny rocket on my shelf and there are many highly deserving fan writers who have never even been nominated, let alone won. I’m not going to refuse another nomination, but I’d like to ask you to consider some of those other great fan writers as well.
Finally, I know that there are people out there who don’t like me and don’t like what I have to say. That’s okay, no one has to like me and my work. But if you don’t like my work, just don’t read it. There’s no need to send harassment mobs my way.
And if you think you’re going to silence me, think again. Cause it’s not going to work.
